Another basic newbie install question - danswan - 08-07-2010

Hi

Forstly, apologies for my lack of knowledge about MySQL, PHP and the like. I'm trying to learn as I go but have tripped up at the first hurdle. I am interested in using this software at work,it seems just what I need but am trying to install it at home on a VM and am running into problems.

The WM is running XP SP3. I have installed PHP, Apache webserver and MySQL 5.1.49, and copied opendocman into the webserver successfully (I think)

Here's what is happening when I try to install opendocman with the root user.


Checking that templates_c folder is writeable... OK
installing...
Database Created
Database Selected

Could insert new version into db user

I have searched the forum and found that Stephen suggests creating a new user in the MySQL database. The problem is that when I try to create a new user in MySQL I get the error "ERROR 1146 (42S02): Table 'test.user doesn't exist"

Now when I check the tables in the database I see that this table doesn't exist; before running the opendocman install it was there, but it appears to have been removed, and replaced by the opendocman tables (all starting odm_*). When I try to create a new MySQL Database this has no tables in it at all.

I'm sure this is dead simple, but unfortunately so am I, so I would appreciate some pointers!

Thanks

*edit* Since I posted this I have kind of resolved it by installing MySQL v4.1.22 rather than 5.1.49 and this works, I would like to be running the latest MySQL though so appreciate feedback.

Thanks
