Topic: Installation Error
I've seen a number of similar posts but none that are identical. I've successfully added a forum to my GoDaddy account but am having problems with a different SQL server. After running install.php I get the message:The file 'config.php' already exists which would mean that PunBB is already installed. You should go here instead. According to phpMyAdmin in cPanel, there are no tables installed in the database. The index.php page with debug turned on shows:
File: /home/domainname/public_html/forum/include/cache.php
Line: 84
PunBB reported: Unable to fetch forum config
Database reported: Table 'domainname_forum.bb_config' doesn't exist (Errno: 1146)
Not being a sql person, I don't know what this means. Is there something you can direct me to that I can discuss with the db admin?
Note: I replaced the real database name with domainname.
A sanitized config.php file is shown below.
<?php
$db_type = 'mysql';
$db_host = 'localhost';
$db_name = 'domainname_forum';
$db_username = 'domainname_myname';
$db_password = 'mypassword';
$db_prefix = 'bb_';
$p_connect = false;
$cookie_name = 'punbb_cookie';
$cookie_domain = '';
$cookie_path = '/';
$cookie_secure = 0;
$cookie_seed = '5dbcb548';
define('PUN', 1);
