Install Problems w/ MySQL
August 03, 2004 03:35PM
Hi,

I am trying to install Phorum 3.4.8a. I'm stuck on the admin page where you enter the database information. I keep getting the error "Error: The database-server couldn't create the tables. It's an upgrade, perhaps?"

I can connect to MySQL using the same hostname, db, username, and pw without any problems. I can create tables without any problems, but the Phorum install can't seem to get past this point.

I'm using PHP 4.3.4 with MySQL 4.1.0. I have deleted all of the files and re-installed many times, but I always get the same result.

What am I doing wrong? I'm not even sure where to look to begin troubleshooting.

Thanks,
Tom

MySQL-4.1.0 is ALPHA.
overall MySQL-4.1.x seems more strict than earlier versions and doesn't like our db-schema.
Use MySQL-4.0.x or 3.23.x or try to fix the schema. We are not yet running any MySQL-4.1.x installs to check it out.
