Topic: Installing Postnuke on SME 6

[markanthony]

I have tried installing Postnuke Phoenix Release (0.7.6.1) onto a SME 6.0.1-01 test machine.

Have been following the instructions at http://www.vanhees.cc/index.php?module=ContentExpress&func=display&ceid=25&newlang=eng but when running .../install.php.  I get an error message at the 60% point.  If I tick "Create the Database" I get "Unable to make database".  If I don't tick "Create the Database" I get:

No database made.
pn_admin_category made.
pn_admin_module made.
pn_autonews made.
pn_blocks made.
pn_blocks_buttons made.
pn_group_membership made.
pn_group_perms made.
pn_groups made.
pn_headlines made.
pn_hooks made.
pn_module_vars made.
pn_modules made.
pn_queue made.
pn_realms made.
pn_related made.
pn_session_info made.
pn_stories made.
pn_stories_cat made.
pn_user_data made.Unable to make pn_user_data

Can anybody help?

Hey markanthony,
just finished doing a test install for PostNuke-0.761 and here is what I did.

Test server is SME6.5rc1, with an ibay named "pn",
1) installed e-smith-phpmyadmin-2.6.0-12.noarch.rpm,
2) created a database "pndata",
3) created a user "pnuser" with password "pnsecret",
4) gave "pnuser" full privileges to "pndata",
5) reloaded MySQL (within phpmyadmin),
6) http://<server>/pn/install.php
7) followed the instructions,
removed the install dir and the install.php file
9) logged into my new PostNuke site.

I also got the error about the "no database made",
 but it did create the appropriate tables for the installer to continue.
This may be caused from
the database already being there.
 Did yours stall or choke at
this point?
Good luck
Joe
