I am having a weird issue when installing PostNuke. When I get to the step for a new install to create the tables nothing happens. It prints out that there was no database created and it stops. I already created the database before I started the installation and I am pretty sure that everything I entered was correct since I checked it about 10 times. After a while I decided to go ahead with the manual install since I was having no luck. After I went in to the config.php and edited everything I tried to go to the homepage and see if it was up and working. Now I am getting a Blank Page. I read another thread about the blank pages to show the errors, but I still have to do this step. I don't have access to do this and will need to contact another person to contact his host to find the errors. My main concern is that it might not work on my current setup since I couldnt find a requirements doc. I am wondering if anyone has any ideas on why the tables weren't being created when running the install. Here are the specs of the host.

IIS, MySQL 5.0.16, PHP 5

Once I can get a hold of the errors I will post those too if I can get them.

Try using MySQL 4.x There are some other posts from people who reported having trouble with MySQL 5.x

You said you have already created the database...does this meain even the tables are created already? If yes then it wont create more tables....If No then check your config.php file...make sure everything is correct there.

I have no access to revert back to MySQL 4.x since it is a host and not even my host. I have read that there was a new authentication methed implemented after 4.1? Could this be the problem? I also read that I can set the password to use the old autentication so if this is the problem I hope this will fix it.

I created the database by hand using a MySQL gui. I then tried running the installation, but it got stuck on the step where it populates the database with the tables. So i tried to do the manual instal and imported the MySQL dump that was included in to the database. Right now the database has all the tables, but not until I populated the database myself.

Right so now you have the database installed but the PHP scripts can't connect ? If you want to change the password for the DB user to the old style password look here http://dev.mysql.com…/en/old-client.html
