    • Cannot Find Database

    Posted by muzza1

    Hi all,
    I need some help as I am pulling hair out by the chunkfull. As another user has posted (not sure if same issue) I have installed tiki 1.8.2 + PHP4 + MySQL3.x all installed fine however when I execute the tiki-install.php I get the messege Cannot Connect To Database. Please Note I am running IIS not Apache and I think MySQL is running ok? Could please steer me in the right direction.....I'm Dizzy

    cheers

    Your PHP will need to have mysql support in it.

    a quick test is to create this file as info.php and browse to it:

    Copy to clipboard


    hopefully when you browse you should see all the php details including a module for mysql if not you need to enable it in your php.ini and restart IIS (i think) and look at the info again.

    IIS also needs some other tweaks to work, so You'll have to look at the IIS Install page here on tikiwiki.org too

    Tip :
    If you have to run on a Windows system, use EasyPHP.

    Not an option if you run IIS 😊 as they use the same port 80 for traffic!

    Yes...actually EasyPHP can replace IIS, depending if Muzza needs IIS or just a webserver.
    EasyPHP includes the Apache webserver.

    Yes it can replace but its depends on the environment and others things on his system. Like Visual Studio .net! GGGGrrr I hate that, means I have to get tiki working out of the box now on IIS!
