Hi Joe you can close this now I have tested and its all working sorry it took so long, not sure but after a clean install it worked must have been something in the environment that caused the problem on my side.

Thanks Joe I have only tested on cpanel AlmaLinux release 8.10 (Cerulean Leopard) 2 machines and AlmaLinux release 9.4 (Seafoam Ocelot). PHP 8.1.29 - PHP 8.1.29 - PHP 8.2.20
Same result as reported never connects to the database just stops but now without any errors in frontaccounting or apache/http logs.
I will find time to load a new clean vps and test again and get back to you.

@steven

I have now tested the install without table prefix on php8.1.3 and tried various options and I cannot find any problems anymore.
The install goes without any errors and working perfectly.

I have committed the last changes to repo. Please do a 'download snapshot' from the repo here:

https://sourceforge.net/p/frontaccounti … ster/tree/

and make a fresh install. Please report back.

Thanks Joe did a clean install replaced the files now it does not give any error, it just stops after you enter the database / password credentials does not come up with the next screen if you chose Install Additional COAs from FA Repository
No error in the install directory anymore.
I have tested on 2 machines with different clients.

@steven

Please download the file /includes/db/connect_db_mysqli.inc file and replace on your test server. I hope it works now.
If it does I will commit it to repo asap.

Hello,

It should be impossible. Did you make a flush cache from your browser?

This has now been fixed. There were more annoyance with installation etc. on php 8. All should now be fixed and committed to stable repo.

Files involved:
/includes/session.inc
/includes/db/connect_db_mysqli.inc
/access/login.php

@steven, you are trying to install frontaccounting without table prefix. That's the reason caused this error. But this won't interrupt you to use the system. So better you create companies or install frontaccounting with table prefix.
And it will be fixed and updated to next release. @joe fix this and make it on next update.

Thanks but it did have prefix on.

Have a look at this.

It is still better to make NULL into empty strings to support a wide range of PHP versions.
