Cannot Complete /cerb4/install/index.php?step=3

[npanno]

Fresh install of Windows 2003 SP2, IIS, PHP 5.2.4. After entering database settings and clicking Test Settings, IIS throws a 500 Internal server error. I don't see any specifics in the browser window.

However this only happens when correct credentials are entered for the database. If anything is entered incorrect, we recieve the following error:

Database Connection Failed! Please check your settings and try again.

This occured using build 378 and 381 I believe.

Go hunt through your server logs, there's got to be a specific error message the server throws (with your proper database details entered). I imagine this is the same problem that's plaguing the rest of us but I can't be sure until you look at your logs.

Hey there!

Which database driver are you using during installation?

I've tried the lastest versions of both MySql and MySqli. Attached is the server logs from IIS. There is no more diagnostic information that I can see from here and the windows event log doesn't have any additional information.

Try testing the database using pure MySQL functions:

dbtest.php:

<?php
require(getcwd() . '/framework.config.php');

if(false !== ($db = mysql_connect(APP_DB_HOST, APP_DB_USER, APP_DB_PASS))) {
mysql_select_db(APP_DB_DATABASE, $db);

if(false !== ($res = mysql_query("SHOW TABLES", $db))) {
echo "Success!";
exit;

} else {
die("ERROR: " . mysql_error($db));
}

} else {
die("ERROR: " . mysql_error($db));
}

?>


Just drop that file in your /cerb4/ directory and open it with the browser. It will help isolate where your 500 (Server Configuration) error is coming from.
