MYSQL Error at install

[flashlight]

So close:

I've created all the tables, and run the query above to set the password. When I try to login using admin as the password though, nothing happens - no error message, just reloads the same page.

Should the user be blank? I've tried blank, admin, etc

Thanks!

EDIT: I've also tried manually setting the password via phpMyAdmin, but with the same result. Help!

Are your server running Windows? Possibly even Windows IIS?

Let me know, there are some weird stuff going on with Windows. The scripts requirements is apache and unix by the way

Hiya Punk,

No, the server is Linux running Apache. Any other ideas?

Maybe I should try deleting the tables and the files and re-installing?

Thanks

Lets try the holistic approach.

Zip a glass of cold milk and have a cookie. Then find close to the top of the admin/index.php something along the lines of
header("Location: index.php");

Take those lines and put two slashes in front of it (comment it out, the script will not read those lines after that).

// header("Location: index.php");

Have another cookie and try to login. Be sure to manually reload the page after you've entered your password, the script will not notify you of success nor failure.

Ummm... Cookies!

I had my snack, commented out the line, had another cookie (chocolate), crossed my fingers, and.... nothing

Time to delete and re-install?

Damn.

If you feel like giving me ftp login so that I can reach the files I can try and help you that way. I have helped others this way and worked it out. I'm a good guy so no worries, although I understand if you don't feel like trusting me

punk [at] pixelpunk.se is my email, or pm me here, with details.

Other than that I'm not quite sure what to do, I'm a lousy theoreticist, I'm more of a trial and error guy
