Hello folks,

Trying a new GL 1.5.0rc1 installation using mySql. I have 1.4 running fine on the same SQL server and I have created a brand new database as follows:

DB name: veguilla_glLedingDb1
DB user: veguilla_glUser1
Server: localhost
Server port: 3306

The error I am getting is:

Text Formatted Code
Sorry, but the installer could not find the database you specified. Either the database does not exist or you misspelled the name. Please go back and try again.


Any ideas?

Can you access the database using phpmyadmin?

Yes - definitely...also, other databases on the same server work for stuff like Drupal and Wordpress...and also other GL installation versions but not for 1.5.0RC1

Are you using MySQL or MySQL with InnoDB support?

Thanks!

Hmm. Can you find the line in the install script that reads
Text Formatted Code
if (@mysql_select_db($db_name, $db_handle)) {
and remove the @ from the mysql_select_db? Then try again and see if it displays anything of interest on the screen.

bye, Dirk

What OS and web server software are you running?

To Dirk: I added the command you mentioned but it did not provide anything.

To MattWest: This is a hosted server by Hostmonster so I am not sure of the EXACT OS but it is a Linux kernel. The Apache ver is Apache 2.x.

cyberzeus,

I'm willing to bet that Hostmonster's cPanel is truncating either the DB name or the DB user, double check what cPanel actually created by going into the DB admin area of cPanel. I've used Hostmonster to host a few sites and have run into a similar issue when creating the database user.

Thanks!

Any news here? It would help us to know if we need to change something in the install script - or the troubleshooting section, depending on what the actual problem was.

MEvans,

I thought of that as well but doesn't seem to be the issue here.

To Dirk: No change - issue still exists...
