Re: Error during set up
Yes, you possibly might. But no, you don’t need to change file permissions for, nor during, the setup, as Textpattern doesn’t create any files nor folders during the “amazing” installation (actually even it wouldn’t require permission changes as server can do it with out any hazzle). TXP just inserts couple tables and columns to your database. But if you want to upload images / files via TXP backend, you must change permissions for images and files directory – but it has nothing, read zero, to do with your installation hazzle & puzzle.

Re: Error during set up
OK so back to the database. Upload the cnx.php file to avoid any confusion. Here are a few possible explanations for whatever errors you encounter:
- Your user does not exist.
- The user password is incorrect.
- The user does not have appropriate permissions.
- The database does not exist.

Open the uploaded cnx.php with your browser, but also remember to change the values in the script to correspond your details. Then, paste the outputed error here or use your brainz. :)

Re: Error during set up
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user ‘helen62_text’@‘localhost’ (using password: YES) in /home/helen62/public_html/myblog/cnx.php on line 3
Access denied for user ‘helen62_text’@‘localhost’ (using password: YES)
Thats my database name. I chose TEXT during the wizard set up and it told me the full name was helen62_text

Re: Error during set up
I just tried to install Serendipity and had the same problem it looks like my provider has done something so I cant upload my own stuff. I had to put a bomb under his butt not long ago because when I bought my space again he had removed Fantastico. I had to get quite aggressive to get him to reinstall it because after 2 months of promises it wasnt done.

Have you considered switching to a different hosting company?

Ruud is right. It may take more money, but good host or service isn’t cheap. Cheap is in most cases reseller or one person with one server that is absolutely too loaded. Couple dollars more per month isn’t bad deal, if it brings better service aka a real company with a good and friendly support. If some cheap or almost free host says that they provide 100 GB space and unlimited bandwidth, it’s possibly a full lie. In reality their website is awesome, brizes are awesome, but they have only couple servers, 10 000 sites hosted and no real support service that can keep up with their clients. Also, every week new host pops out and then after a year goes goner…

Textbook: Web hosts. I’d add your current host to the “Hosts to avoid” list.

Re: Error during set up
Hi all. I’ve successfully installed Textpattern a number of times, but for some reason, when I hit I reach the point where I get “That went well. Database tables were created and populated. You should be able to access the main interface with the login and password you chose. Thank you for your interest in Textpattern.” I get stuck at that point. I click on the “main interface” link and instead of getting the login page, I get sent back to the set up page where I’m asked to choose which language I want from the dropdown menu. I have tried EVERYTHING that I can possibly think of. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled, deleted the database and recreated it. Nothing works. I keep getting directed back to the set up page, despite that the URL is /textpattern/index.php. If anyone could shed some light on this, I’d appreciate it

Re: Error during set up
Did you delete the ‘setup’ directory?

Re: Error during set up
john, can you check if the tables were actually created using PHPmyAdmin?
Is your config.php file still where it should be (in the /textpattern directory)?
What happens if you visit: http://yourwebsite.com/textpattern/index.php?event=admin

Re: Error during set up
Els, Ruud: Thanks to you both for the quick response. To answer your question, Els, yes I did try deleting the setup directory several times, and the error I get is “No such file or directory in /home/siteid/public_html/textpattern/index.php on line 29…”.
Els, yes I did check the config.php file and it’s where it should be, and I’ve checked the database in PHPmyAdmin and all the tables are there. I just can’t get into the login page. I’m continually redirected to the set up page with the languages select list. I can’t figure this out.

Re: Error during set up
Thanks again, guys. I managed to figure it out late last night. The paths were preceded by the root folder in the download file, textpattern-4.0.6. Dumb, newbie mistake.
