More install problems: "testconfig.php (and everything else) says Error try with Firefox"

Asked by Kirk Parker

More install problems. I've got the database connecting now (I *think*) using 'pdo' as the database type and 'mysql:host=localhost' as the HOST string. (I could NOT find anything that made the old mysql extension actually appear on my system.) But should work, right? ADOdb hides all the low level differences.

But now "testconfig.php (and everything else in Admin) displays the menu on the left panel, but just says "Error, try with Firefox" on the right panel. But I *am* using Firefox (with all extensions turned off) and get the same results with Chrome anyway.

Dear Kirk,

Please try browsing directly to the testconfig.php page :

i.e. http://localhost/quexf/admin/testconfig.php

And see if that gives you some more information on the issue.

That solved it, indirectly. It turns out that ADODB_DIR really needs to be an absolute path (because of the way things in, e.g. ./admin include the config file as ../config.inc.php.)

It might help to mention that requirement in the setup, which right now reads simply:

5. Modify the configuration file

    1. ...

    2. Make sure the path to ADOdb is correct

Thanks!

Dear Kirk,

Thanks for the suggestion. I have updated the documentation to say:

Make sure the path to ADOdb is correct (complete path such as /usr/share/php/adodb/ not a relative path)
