Architecture / Installation


Installer disabled?

posts: 3

I played around with Tiki on a local copy of the files on my computer.

Now I've set everything up on a web host. The database name is different because my host requires a certain structure to their database, but that should be a problem.

I'm following the instructions found here:
http://doc.tikiwiki.org/tiki-view_faq.php?faqId=4&fullscreen=y#q36

I exported the database I had created locally, and then imported it into the web host's system.

Then, I uploaded all the files on my local system into the file directory on the web host.

I'm on step 4. When I go to /tiki-install.php, it get this:
"Installer disabled. Remove 'db/lock' to enable the installer."

If I just go to the site's main URL, I get this:
"Tikiwiki is unable to connect to the database.
The following error message was returned:
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
Things to check:
* Is your database up and running?
* Are your database login credentials correct?
* Did you complete the Tiki Installer?
Please see the documentation for more information"

I found the db/lock file — can I just remove that?

What's going on here?
