Configuration problems - Please help

Post by testlink »

Hi,
I have installed test link 1.7 on Win2003 with mysql 5.X and php 5.X.
After installation I get the following
TestLink setup will now attempt to setup the database:

Creating connection to Database Server: OK!

Checking MySQL version: OK! (5.0.51 >= 4.1.0)


Connecting to database `testlink`: OK!
Creating Testlink DB user `admin`: OK! (ok - user_exists ok - grant assignment)
Dropping all existent tables:Done!
Processing:sql/mysql/testlink_create_tables.sql

Importing StartUp data OK!
Writing configuration file: Failed!

TestLink couldn't write the config file. Please copy the following into the ../config_db.inc.php file:
<?php
// Automatically Generated by TestLink Installer
define('DB_TYPE', 'mysql');
define('DB_USER', 'admin');
define('DB_PASS', 'admin');
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_NAME', 'testlink');
?>
Once that's been done, you can log into TestLink by pointing your browser at your TestLink site.

I did not see any config_db.inc.php so I created one, copied the above contents and saved it in my testlink directory.
However when I point the browser to my testlink directory, it displays a blank page.
Please help.

Your apache must have access to testlink directories. Unsecured way but probably easy solution:
# cd <directory where is TestLink root directory placed>
# chmod 777 testlink -R

See apache error log for more information if need.
