    • Installation loops - Possible database problem

    Posted by Maraguru

    Hi,

    I'm trying to install 5.3. to our server, but I'm facing problems with getting the database work. Once the automatic installer comes up to the point of inserting our SQL-data, all goes well and it seems to accept the connection. Once I try to populate the database by clicking install, I get the screen asking for database certifications by re-insterting username and pw for the database. Once I do that, I'm thrown back to the beginning of the installation. If I try to click forward, it once again asks for certifications and then throws me back to the beginning.

    The DB doesn't have anything, so pressumably it has failed to transfer data.

    If I do a manual installation, the installation seems to be a success, and the front page suggesting the configuration of the site is shown. But once I try to log in with admin, it just throws me back to the front page and I'm not logged in.

    As far as I can understand, the Tiki can get a communication with the database but is unable to transfer data?

    I'm trying to use TikiWiki 5.3. and our MySQL server has the following:

    Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS)
    MySQL-client: 5.0.77
    PHP: mysqli

    Anyone had the same problem? I'm going to try the LTS next and see what it does.

    Big thanks for the help,

    To update on this:

    - Tried with 3.8. LTS, same problem

    - Tried with a remote contact to another SQL-database that we know works with Tikiwiki, same problem.

    Anyone, any ideas?
