Recieving this error when going to index.php after install

[wleguy]

I am recieving this error loading the index.php


Fatal error :
There was an error while processing a database query


Any help would be appreciated.

this usually means that the database hasn't been created properly. Use a tool like phpMyAdmin to browse your database, look for the table cpg11d_config (prefix may be different, depending on which one you chose during install) and change the entry "debug_mode" - change the value from "0" to "1" and hit save. Then browse coppermine again (http://yoursite.com/coppermine/) and have a look at the debug info that should show underneath the output of the error message. Copy-and-paste it, post it here (plus a link to your site)

I have this very same problem, I have followed the above directions and this is what it came up with.

Fatal error :

There was an error while processing a database query.

While executing query "SELECT id as user_id, name as user_name, mgroup FROM `ivasion`.ibf_members WHERE id='0' AND password='*'" on 0

mySQL error: Table 'ivasion.ibf_members' doesn't exist

I think the problem is this, but I want to check here first.  My database name is "invasion" not "ivasion" as stated in the error.  I have installed mulitiple times, and this error occurs every time.  But I dont know how to change the database name and keep all my board settings.  Thanks for any assistance.

I don't get the point - what's the point with the ibf_ stuff? Are you trying to use your invision board user table with coppermine? Try a clean install without mofidyfing the prefix (and delete all mySQL tables that belong to versions that are not working before).

Thanks for your reply  

I did 3 clean installs.  And in none of them did I change the prefix.  After I posted here I tried a clean install of both invasion board and coppermine on a different machine and came up with the same result.  And with each install I deleted the relevant tables and/or database.  However I tried a fresh install of both inv. board and coppermine but this time I used the database name that coppermine was substituting in the original installs, and it worked    
Smooth sailing so far.  Although I am curious as to why it was removing the "n" from the database name "invasion"...but no matter, I am now happy.  Thanks guys for the great product!  Cheers

Hi, I am having this same exact problem. I've noticed a pattern. Here is what I get from debug mode:

Code Select Expand

While executing query "SELECT (ug.group_id + 5) as group_id FROM `detmusic_MySQL`.phpbb_user_group as ug LEFT JOIN `detmusic_MySQL`.phpbb_groups as g ON ug.group_id = g.group_id WHERE user_id = 2 AND user_pending = 0 AND group_single_user = 0" on 0

mySQL error: Access denied for user: 'detmusicgallery@localhost' to database 'detmusic_mysql'

The last user who posted here said that the code was calling for the wrong database name. That is the same problem I see with my code above. My database name is not detmusic_MySQL. It is detmusicgallery_MySQL. I have done several fresh installs with the same problem every time. Is there some problem with coppermine reading the database name correctly? What do I have to do to fix this? Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the help. didnt even have to ask.

I had a similar problem and after reading this post was able to get into debug mode (table ibf_members does not exist) and found that I needed to change my invisionboard.inc.php (bridge file) so that it used the correct prefix. My board uses no prefix.

By default the (coppermine) invisionboard.inc.php file is set to a prefix of "ibf_ ", but the latest Invision forum (1.3) has "no" prefix by default.

be sure to double check your prefix.

Hope that helps
