MAIAN MEDIA

Hello,
When trying to install Maian Greetings, all I get is a red band on top saying "Database Error. Check software log for more details.".
I did everything as in the instructions and here is the log file:
"Date/Time: 3 December 2023 @ 05:46:57

And here is _cfg.php:

If more information is required, please ask.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry, but I'll be honest with you, I'm completely speechless. I guess you did not read the instructions at all? lol.

Oops, yes, I must have been millions of miles away.

However, I've corrected all that but the error is srill there.
What now, please?

Your connection info or the parameters are still wrong, this is why you receive the "php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed" error.

Are you 100% sure it is correct?

I got there now (at the moment I am sitting at home fighting off pneumonia, so the head isn't working full blast either).
However, what I have now is "where has my text gone"?
Take a look at this screen shot: [img=Image Test]https://www.vlaamseradio.co.uk/img/maiangreet.png[/img]
Once I have set it all up, the Dutch translation will be with you soon.

Merry Christmas.

That image means the language files are not loading correctly, so either they are edited incorrectly or they are missing. Any error log in the 'logs' folder?

Hi, David,
Merry Christmas to you too.
I just started from scratch,

So, to cut a long story short, I re-uploaded everything, set permissions etc. and then ran everything again from the install/ directory.

The only thing that happens now is that I get a popup that not all DB tables installed, and indeed, there is one missing (don't know which one but instead of 18 there are now 17, and no logs to find).

Any further ideas, please?

Cheers.

Enable install logging in:
install/control/config.php

Then run the installer again and view the logs folder, there should be a log with the error why the table couldn't be created.

Same to you too, Happy New Year.

Ok, so no errors there, so I assume it is stopping when adding the default data after it creates the tables. I notice it has created a table called 'ecards_ecards_poems', with the prefix twice, so I'm guessing it stops when it trying to add the default poems.

Let me check the installer and I'll get back you soon.

I ran it through offline with no issues, so not sure at the moment. Sorry for the delay btw.
