Install page not working ?
 

I uploaded the files, and started to create the database (there's also an extra table not pertaining to the adoptables system in there).
When I go to the install page, I get:

What could be causing this ?

Also, when I add the adopts_adoptables table, the MySql doesn't allow it...?

RE: Install page not working ?
 

The Internal Server Error may be caused by the .htaccess file. Make sure the file is either not on your server or is named htaccess.txt and not .htaccess.

Also, what do you mean MySQL doesn't allow it? You get an error?

RE: Install page not working ?
 

Okay, I'll see what I can do with the htaccess file.

And the error is:

Changed the .htaccess file, so now I'm able to start the process. However, now I get the following warnings:

How do I CHMOD in File Manager ? I have Mozilla Firefox with FireTT (or whatever it's called), but for some reason I have no idea how to make it work?

RE: Install page not working ?
 

To CHMOD select the file(s) you want to CHMOD, it will take you to a page, and make sure each one is:
777

RE: Install page not working ?
 

The only way to select a file is to check the box next to it, but even then (in FTPmanager), there's no option to CHMOD it. I opened FireFTP and uploaded the files, but again, it doesn't have anywhere to edit the CHMODs (unless I'm missing something...?)

Thanks for your help, btw :)

RE: Install page not working ?
 

right click on the files you want to edit, and CHMOD will be an option....tick all the boxes and that will change them to 777

RE: Install page not working ?
 

I can't right click on them, considering they're not links:

When I rightclick on FireFTP, the choice to CHMOD isn't shown:

RE: Install page not working ?
 

Click on properties, then in there somewhere there should be some checkboxes for file permissions you should select. :)

Do I check the 'read-only' box as shown ? Or am I missing something ?

There's also 'Properties (incl. contents) under the right-click menu, but it's not selectable.

RE: Install page not working ?
 

You need to click on the Properties option for the file on your server, not on your computer. I think files on your computer are on the left and ones on the server are on the right. :)

If I fill in the information in that dialog, it should connect me to the server, which will then import all my files into FireFTP, where I should be able to CHMOD the necessary files, correct ?

Also, I still haven't managed to be able to add the adopts_adoptables table, but the rest of the tables are set up & ready to go.[hr]
Alright, I CHMODed the necessary files (I think I did...):

Yet, I'm still getting those errors. When I CHMOD it with my FTPclient, are the files changed automatically or is there something I need to click to save the changes...?

RE: Install page not working ?
 

That looks correct, either 0777 or 777. Make sure to click OK and then refresh the installer page once you've CHMODDED.

Once you fill in the info you can transfer the files to your server using the FTP program. :)

It looks like the permissions are right, but I'm still getting the same errors...? I refreshed the server, and clicked 'Change' next to my host, yet still no difference.

Also, I haven't been able to add the adopts_adoptables table, either sofar.

RE: Install page not working ?
 

You add the database tables using the installer. :)

Does your host have PHP's safe mode enabled by chance?

RE: Install page not working ?
 

I use PHPMyAdmin to add the database tables...is that the same thing or no ?

And as far as I know, PHP safe mode is not enabled. I can't even find the place to enable/disable it for that matter. :)

RE: Install page not working ?
 

You shouldn't have to manually add the tables. The installer will do that. :)

Did you upload the files to the right place? What is the link to your installer?

RE: Install page not working ?
 

They're under the same server.

The installer can be found at:

http://acanthaer.leadhoster.com/index.php

RE: Install page not working ?
 

Why is your installer at http://acanthaer.leadhoster.com/index.php ???

It should be at: http://acanthaer.leadhoster.com/install/index.php

Keep the files in the install folder, don't move them to the site index. :)

Also, those forced ads on your account will interfere with parts of the script. :(

RE: Install page not working ?
 

Alright, I'll fix those files & see what it does.

RE: Install page not working ?
 

Alright, I fixed those problems, got past that part of the installation, but now I get:

On line 13 of inc/functions.php is:

RE: Install page not working ?
 

You probably entered in the wrong database details when installing the script. Please re-install and make sure that your database details are correct.

It may also be a host issue as that error can sometimes mean that the SQL server is down on your host, so if the installer completed successfully with the database details you gave it then it may be the MySQL server is down. If you have CPanel you can go into your CPanel and view the Service Status or System Status link (something like that) and it should tell you if MySQL is up or down. If it's down, that's the issue.

RE: Install page not working ?
 

The database is up, I re-entered different details which I'm pretty sure are correct (I was using the wrong host/server), but now I'm getting this problem:

RE: Install page not working ?
 

That error means the details were incorrect. :(

It's attempting to connect but something is incorrect in the info you entered.

RE: Install page not working ?
 

Alright, that'll help :D

Haha, thankss.[hr]
Good news ! I figured it out, and I have it working. It says,

Before I do something I may regret, let me just be clear:

I delete the WHOLE file, 'install', & all the components in it ? That won't affect the site?

And thanks so much for all your support :)
