"Tiki cannot find a database connection" again
Hi folks,
I already spent several hours in finding a solution for this problem:
When executing tiki-install.php, I get the dialog with the message:
--
Tiki cannot find a database connection
Please enter your database connection info
...
--
After entering the requested db information I get a white browser window, no error message, and nothing else.
Afterwards I try to access tiki-index.php and get the following message:
--
db/local.php not found.
Please run tiki-install.php
--
I already scanned FAQs and forums and tried all found solutions and hints in this context. That's what I already tried:
- DB access problems: Command-line login to mysql db works without any problems
- File access problems: I changed all files in tikiwiki-1.9.2 to 777 -> No effect
- I changed the settings in the "Tiki cannot find a database connection" dialog: IP address instead of localhost, "MYSQL (mysqli driver)" instead of "MYSQL" -> No effect
- I applied db/tiki.php to my mysql db: mysql -u root -p tiki < tiki.sql -> no problem (tables in tiki created) -> no effect
- I created db/local.php by hand: <?php $db_tiki='mysql'; $dbversion_tiki='1.9'; $host_tiki='localhost'; $user_tiki='root'; $pass_tiki='<rootpassword'; $dbs_tiki='tiki'; ?> -> tiki-install.php -> Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in /var/www/tikiwiki-1.9.2/lib/adodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php on line 339
- I checked the priveleges in the mysql db: ** grant all privileges on tiki.* to root@'%' identified by '<rootpw>'; grant all privileges on tiki.* to root@localhost identified by '<rootpw>'; -> No effect
- I made the pear test, though I have no idea why php4-pear is required. peartest.php: <? require_once("DB.php"); require_once "PEAR.php"; echo ("<h3>Swoobadoo</h3>"); ?> -> Works
- I made the php test. phptest.php: <?php echo phpinfo(); ?> -> Works

After several hours of research and trials, I am really desparated.
Are there any ideas what I can do?
Thanx in advance.
