Hi nuxsmin, I have the same problem and this is the sql output of your query:

#1364 - Field 'vacUserMPwd' doesn't have a default value

What value should I set for 'vacUserMPwd' field?

Hi, the directory permissions should be 775 and set the owner to apache service user (usually www-data, www-run or httpd).

chmod 775 /var/www/html/inc && chown apache_user:apache_user /var/www/html/inc

I was able to install phppms successfully, but unable to login with admin/admin. Please find the attached screenshot for more information.

Any help to resolve this issue would be much appreciated.

Hi!, it's very strange, because if previous steps had been completed successfully, it means that DB credentials are ok. Try to execute this query (if you have db access) after error occurs:

INSERT INTO users (vacUName,vacULogin,intUGroupFid,intUProfile,blnIsAdminApp,vacUPassword,blnFromLdap) VALUES('PMS Admin','admin',1,0,1,MD5('admin'),0)

After that reload the page and it should appear as a warning message, not an error.

Downloaded the latest release and can't get past:

DB connection phppms@localhost -> phppms OK
Initial master password setted up to '0000'. It is advisable to change OK
User 'admin' can not be created ERROR
There was an error while configuring environment ERROR

Deleted everything and started from scratch. Still no go. Any ideas?
