Installation problem

posts: 8

Hello experts,

I'm installing TW 1.8.3 on Red Hat Linux with MySQL (Ver 12.22 Distrib 4.0.17) and PHP 4.3.7.
I followed the regular installation procedure. Got to the tiki-install.php installation screen and I can't login as admin/admin. The error is: "Tiki cannot find a database connection Please enter your database connection info"

First question, do I need to created an admin user? If not, where is it defined? I've tried to login as tikiuser and that didn't work either.

I've changed connection setting in tiki-db.php file to use tikiuser (it was configured with root being a user and an empty password).

I've read the troubleshooting guide and all I could find in this forum. Any pointers? I've spend a couple of days trying to solve this sad

I would appreciate if you could point me in the right direction.

Thank you, Alex.

You say you used root/nopass to configure tiki and then changed to tikiuser. Have you set the databasepermissions for tikiuser?

mysql -u root mysql
grant SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, INDEX, ALTER
on tiki.* to tikiuser@localhost identified by 'tikipassword';


Have you gone through the whole install?

  1. Point your browser to the Web address that corresponds to the file tiki-install.php in the Tiki document root you created above.


* E.g. http://localhost/tiki/tiki-install.php
* If you have problems you should check InstallTikiUnderSafeMode

I did set the database permissions.

When I get to the install screen (http://localhost/tiki/tiki-install.php) I cannot login with admin/admin or any other login information. Am I correct to assume that admin/admin is the right login/password to login with at the install page?

Thank you.

The mysql connection details must have a password setup, you cannot use the default root/no password
