Topic: FA Fresh installation

Hi, my name is Otje. This is my first post in this forum. I tried to install the fresh package of  FA 2.2.9. I have uploaded everything on to the web server. I've also changed the permissions to 777 of the necessary files and folders. On the installation form everything looked ok, then I clicked Install and after a few seconds the following error messages appeared:

ERROR MESSAGES:
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Unknown MySQL server host 'http' (1) in /home/sayabis1/public_html/FA229/install/save.php  on line 342

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/sayabis1/public_html/FA229/install/save.php:342) in /home/sayabis1/public_html/FA229/install/save.php on line 58

It seems that there was a failure in database connectivity. I am a little bit confused because the user name and password used were correct but why didn't it work during the installation?  Has any one ever had this problem before? Appreciate your response. Thanks.

Notes: I created a blank database using the user ID and password that are used in installation form and it worked fine.

Re: FA Fresh installation

You should not set 'http://' prefix in Host Name field,as mysql is not connecting via http.
And if MySQL server  is located on the same host when FA is installed, set 'localhost' as host name.

Re: FA Fresh installation

Thanks Jannusz, I appreciate it. What about absolute path? Do I have to put the full url like this www.saya-bisa.com/fa229/? (domain is www.saya-bisa.com and the folder the FA is installed is fa229)

Re: FA Fresh installation

Yes, in Absolute URL,  but not in Host Name field of course.

Re: FA Fresh installation

Hi Janusz. Sorry I've been away for a couple of days.
I have tried to proceed the installation with absolute URL: www.saya-bisa.com/fa229/ and the database name "akun", but It still did not work and I got the error message: Error: Cannot create database 'akun', that is placed on the top of the form.  What could it be?
Thanks

Re: FA Fresh installation

FYI, I created first the blank database "akun" before proceeding the installation
Thanks Janusz.

Re: FA Fresh installation

The process is straight forward: installer connects to mysql server host, tries to select database, if selection fails it finally tries create database with given name. If creation error still appears the only reason is that account recognized by given dbpassword:dbuser have no access rights to just created database.

Re: FA Fresh installation

Hi Janusz, good news. It works now. I made a mistake in absolute path. Actually I created a sub-domain name. When I changed the absolute path to sub-domain name then it worked. Thanks for your help.
