[Xerte] Re: Problem with installer

[Ron Mitchell]

Just a quick check are you putting that FQDN for the MySQL host? Is the db
on the same server as your XOT install? If so just use localhost in the
mysql host field but run setup from the FQDN.

I realise that one is supposed to to fail but this problem is after this
test that it fails. 

I'll contact the developers list for help and to offer help. 

Thanks

One of the test scripts is designed to fail, but if you can make /setup
