In the nutshell
I have been trying to install qbds on localhost but it does not work. Instead of "Installation successful" which I understand should be the desired message i get an empty page with "Quotes Database Installation" and link to Install page.

Background:
I am running Linux Mint 6 (Felicia)
Apache2 - 2.2.9-7ubuntu3
Mysql 5.0.67.-0ubuntu6
qdbs_110

I want to install it on localhost.
I copied files to /var/www/ as root then...

In Mysql I did the following:
mysql> CREATE DATABASE `qdbs`;
mysql> GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'root'@'localhost';

When I open http://localhost in firefox I get Site Installation form
Installation Type: Script
Database Username: root
Database Password: [my root password for mysql]
Database Name: qdbs
Database Server: localhost
Database Table Prefix: qdbs_
Page Title: Salty Quotes Database
Page Heading: QdbS
Quotes Per Page: 50
Template: ./templates/default/
CSS Style: style.css

I click install and I got an empty page
http://localhost/install/index.php
with Quotes Database Installation written across.
Any ideas how to make it working?
thx

Does anything get written to settings.php?

If not try setting the permissions for settings.php to 777 (change back to whatever they were after installation)

If it still doesn't install then, there is a .sql file included which you can use to manually import the SQL tables. Then you'll need to create your settings.php file with the following:


<?php

// Generated settings file, DO NOT EDIT!

$_qdbs[server] = '<sqlserver>';

$_qdbs[user] = '<sqluser>';

$_qdbs[password] = '<sqlpassword>';

$_qdbs[db] = '<sqldatabase>';

$_qdbs[tpfx] = '<sqltableprefix>';

define('INSTALLED', true);

?>

If you haven't figured it out yet, changing the settings.php file to chmod 777 resolves your issue.
