[Xerte] Re: Problem with installer

[Brian Chivers]

Yes, I can use localhost but then on the last page where you setup all the
settings such as url, admin password etc it fails at that point as well as
it tries to store this in the database which again uses the fqdn and errors
on the hyphon.

My boss uses php a lot so he might be able to help me sort it on this page
but I'm just a little concerned that db calls are used on other pages that
will cause problems when Xerte is in use.

What I'll try and do is sort it on this page and then post how we fixed it
to the developers list to see where else it might need fixing
