    Hi,
    I just installed Ortro 1.3.1 which was released today 5/27/2008 and
    after successful installation (after meeting all dependancies) when
    I login using admin/admin (as installation suggested) it shows total
    blank page with no error or indicating what went wrong.

    It does show below in the log file:

    DEBUG] 15:21:01 - dbUtil.php: Database connection failed:
    [DEBUG] 15:21:01 - dbUtil.php: unable to find package 'MDB2_Driver_MySQL' file 'MDB2/Driver/MySQL.php'

    Why then installation didn't complain about DB connection failed? It
    connected fine during installation and was able to create database/tables
    just fine. Any help/suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks.

      Hi,
      it seems due to an environment issue (see http://dev.ortro.net/ticket/28 for reference).
      To fix it, edit the conf/configure.php and change the value for the phptype as reported below:

      $conf['db']['phptype'] = 'mysql';

      Please let me know if this fix your problem.
      BTW may you post your environment settings (OS, php and mysql version)?
      This will help us to reproduce the issue.
      Thanks in advance.

      Thanks Luca for the quick reply. That was it.
      By default that line had 'MYSQL' listed; after
      changing it to lower case 'mysql' or 'mysqli'
      as below, it was able to connect to DB and
      display page fine.
      Though this should be fixed during the install.

      $conf['db']['phptype'] = 'mysqli';

      For what its worth below are my system settings:

      OS: Fedora Core 5
      PHP: 5.1.6
      MySQL: 5.0.27
      Apache: 2.2.57

      Thanks again for your quick response.
      I'll be doing some more testing on this 1.3.1 version
      and report any issues.
