Sorry for this question but did you follow the install instruction carefully?
I installed this plugin within 3 min. You can add a fortune if you like HERE

After copying all files and dirs into appropriate directories you gotta log in as an admin and run this

I have same error too...I followed the instructions but it's still not working.

Any help please?

Thanks.

the readme txt that was with the fortune plug-in i downloaded is here the thing that gets me is the only thing that can in the public_html folder was a image dir and the index.php should i have anything else in my geeklog/dir/public_html/fortune/ besides the images dir and index.php

thanks again

Same problem here.

I believe that people have loaded this plug-in and it is working, i also believe that we are not the first group of people to have this problem..... or maybe we are, what plug-in version did you other guys having my same problem download and where did you get it. maybe we have an incomplete plug-in. any help from anybody in this matter would be great, i'm fast approaching a month now, with no end in site. would the geeklog gods and /dev please help... thanks

ok guys, that have been following this post and having my same issues search your fortune directory i have noticed for my other plug-ins i have an install.php and for this particular fortune plug-in that was modified i do not, anybody else notice this? is this the culprit? was it left out of the tar-ball, would another install.php work in it's place?

no, any install.php will absolutely not work. and you don't need the install.php because all the install logic is written into a class anyway. install-class.php or something like that.

it would be helpful if you log file gave you a bit more info.. maybe something like "sql in question:...", or an error number, or anything else than what it is attempting to do. does it?
You can always modify the install-class.php ever so slightly so that the error will be a bit more explanitory.
for example, find and change to and so on for the other calls to COM_errorLog().

You will still have a sql error, but now you will know a bit more about what that error actually is--hopefully.
report back.

My guess is that your server is running a version of mySQL that doesn't support some bit of the syntax being used. but on the other hand, that shouldn't be cuz this plugin was written a while back when GL 1.3.7 was in fashion.
