Install Jamroom 5 - PHP System Error
Installation and Configuration
@bagpiper,
Make sure you add the whole path to the install config when it asks it on the install page.
Not sure if it's the problem but make sure you are adding all the info telling JR, where the user and the database is.
eg
Database
ROOTUSER_yourdatabase
NOT
yourdatabase
also in user
ROOTUSER_yourdatabaseuser
NOT
yourdatabaseuser
That has nothing to do with php.ini etc.
The database can be accessed without altering or adding that.
The only reason why you would add php.ini to your root ( may need to be recursive ) is for file upload sizes etc.
Jamroom works pretty much out of the box unless your server has restrictions or isn't set up right.
What are you putting in when you goto
http://yoursite.com/install.php ?
Make sure all your info that you set up beforehand ( USER AND DATABASE ) is correct when you put it in
eg. make sure you create your empty database and a database user before you install taking note of the full path to both.
eg.
bagpiper_myJr = Database
bagpiper_myjrUser - User
User Password = XXXXXXXXXXX
For the install page eg
http://yoursite.com/install.php
it must be precise ( All info as you see it ) to be able to Access and Populate the database.
