Architecture / Installation

Hey Don,

Well for this moment I've managed to get tiki working.

By 'strange' coincident my provider lost some data due to a RAID disk crash esp. my database and the fresh installed tiki folder disappeared.

I still get the same strang results with tiki-install.php, so I used PHPMyAdmin to create the database which you can find in /db/tiki.sql. The creation of the tables went fine!

I changed the information in the tiki-db.php file according the date from my provider (as I deed before with my first try) and voila, sa marche ;o) when using tiki-index.php as a start.
I most say however that I'm now working with a 'fresh' installed database and user on that database.

I received the start page to furnish my login "admin-admin" and saw the page to change the pasword!
BTW: I also saw this message 'you do not have permission...' so I putted in the admin-admin combi.

I'm now (for the time being) a happy user. But still reserved for what I will find later on: we will see then.

Probably the reason you don't get any replies is that with a first install and a database connection problem novice users probably thinks that you messed up settings!

I know I haven't, so I'm still confused why it works now at not the first time! Puzzeled still,..

I haven't don what you described because with tiki-index.php I received the message that there was no dbase, so I created the database-tables through PHPMyAdmin.

So my suggestion: drop the database and the user on that database through you're control panel of you're ISP, create a new database and user and use PHPMyAdmin to create the database-tables in you're fresh created tike database. Change the connection settings in db/tiki-db.php according the data you see in you're control panel and run /tiki-index.php. Give the the combination admin-admin and you should be up and running!

Hope this will help you!
