DB access problem after install

Topic:	DB access problem after install
ShakaZ Freshman Posts: 4 Posted: 20.Mar 2006 - 21:13	Hello all :), due to the failure of this forum yesterday my account got deleted & the topic i started got flushed too. So the problem was i had a DB access error after completing the installation, when clicking on Configuration. I was told to look at config.php for incompatibilities with my system, so here are the results : I checked config.php and the only wrong option i found was that the system was set to Linux instead of windows. After fixing that i was able to login as administrator. However some of the text on the page is displayed incorrectly (_SEARCH, _SELECTGUILANG, .... ) and when clicking on Administration this warning shows up in a red rectangle: _ADMININSTALLWARNING _ADMINPSAKWARNING _ADMINCONTINUE Clicking on _ADMINCONTINUE brings up the same warning, stuck again :?. I left the encoded value to '1' as the DB user & password are encoded : $pnconfig['dbuname'] = 'cm9vdA=='; $pnconfig['dbpass'] = '';

(I understand that the _XXXXX means that a define can't be found which means some language file is likely missing.) -- Peace ______________________________________ The commonest cause of problems is solutions.

ShakaZ Freshman Posts: 4 Posted: 29.Mar 2006 - 11:21	Solved :D i added the French & Spanish language packs, then removed PSAK and the install files & it works fine now. Also impressed to see that there was a warning message reminding to do just that. The only glitch left is that the language selection dropdown box show the languages in Spanish even though all the rest is in French. There are also 4 warnings : Notice: magic_quotes_gpc is off! Notice: register_globals is on! Notice: config.php is writable (hint: chmod 644 or chmod 444)! Notice: config-old.php is writable (hint: chmod 644 or chmod 444)! Should i worry about n°2 ? What about the last 2, should i make the files read-only (i'm using WinXP)?
