    hi, I've just tried to install linpha (the 5th time)
    it always stops at the same point:
    - forth_stage_install.php
    - after connecting to DB with username
    - DB Error: unknown error

    what could be the reason?
    more information neccessary?
    - all the DB tables were successfully created
    - chmod of /sql/ = 777
    - LAMP system
    - the setup complained about a GD-Lib missing, even though its not
    - suggested to change the settings of open_basedir in the php.ini

    thank you very much

      Hi Hendrik,

      are you using a MySQL or PostgreSQL DB, what is your PHP and MySQL version? Please give more details...

      cheers bzrudi
      btw. if possible you SHOULD disable open_basedir restrictions...

        Hi,

        I found that the problem is with PEAR::DB :-( I will switch to ADODB, which looks much more promising and is known to work even with php >=4.0.5 and 5.0. Also it seems, that we should be able to support much more RDBMS after the change :-)
        Please give me some days to complete the changes, as it is a lot of work and requires a lot of testing. As soon I have a first version ready for testing, I will let you know, maybe you would like to test it out before the next release ;-)

        thanks for your patience

        cheers bzrudi

      thanks for this help and fast reaction

      looking forward for next release...

      or is there maybe something I could eventually fix myself?
