Problem with new installation

Shani · Post by **Shani** » Fri Apr 21, 2006 1:46 am

Hi,

I have apache2, mysql 4.1, php 4.3 installed.
When trying to install TestLink (new installation), I am getting the following messages:
\"TestLink setup will now attempt to setup the database:

Creating connection to Database Server:\"

In mysql I have defined the TestLink database and a user that can access and update it (with the required privileges).
Any idea what the problem seems to be?

In my SQL logs it doesn\'t look like the test link is trying to do anything...

Thanks,
Shani.

1. what operating system are you using
2. what test link version

I\'m doing once a week a fresh install on windos xp without problems

Hi,

1. I am using Linux (Debian).
2. TestLink version 1.6.1

Thanks for the quick response.
Thanks,

Do you set database correct root name/password in installation script? You note that you create special user for this database. This special user could be add in bottom part of the form. Script finds that this user is already created and go ahead.

Hi,

I tried the script with different users, but with no success.
So I tried the manual installation and created all tables and data successfully.
But when trying to login I am getting the error message:
\"Fatal Error. You haven\'t configured TestLink yet.\"

Anything else I need to do to configure it?

Thanks,
Shani.

It seems that you didn\'t create a file config_db.inc.php in testlink root. This file include database connection data. See manual to more.

Hi,

You are right, I skipped this part from some reason...
Which brings me back to my first problem.
My file looks like that:
\"\"

I am able to connect to the TestLink database with the given user and password when using mysql.
But still, when trying to connect from the browser, I am getting no respond...

Thanks agian,
Shani.

Ok, back to basic debug.
First thing we need is to know if you can connect to MySQL USING PHP, then please install phpmyadmin and check if you can connect to the
database with the user/password you are configured on TestLink.

After having the result of this test we can continue our debug
