Help??? Endless loop

[xeronex]

Thanks in advance 

I've been trying to install Coppermine. on my NAS Qnap TS109-Pro i have used a older version which worked fine But when i install the latest version i get the following results 

====================================================================

Installation completed
Coppermine is now properly configured and ready to roll.

Login using the information you provided for your admin account. Do not hit back, do not re-submit the installer form!

Your server supports the following image package(s): GD Library version 1.x (gd1), GD Library version 2.x (gd2), the installer selected 'gd2'.

Important : older versions of the GD graphic library support only JPEG and PNG images. If this is the case for you, then the script will not be able to create thumbnails for GIF images.


Let's Continue
============================================================================


On clicking "Lets Continue" I get the following screen >>>


============================================================================

The installer is locked
• • • ERROR • • •
The installer has already been run successfuly once and is now locked.

If you want to run the installer again, you first need to delete the 'include/install.lock' file that was created in the directory where you put Coppermine. You can do this with any FTP program.


(Go to the main page)


===============================================================

This happens over and over again (Groundhog Day??).  If I delete the lock file and clear the tables out of the database (which are apparently properly set up during each loop of this install), I'm presented with a blank install form again, and the process starts all over.  I've tried it about 5 times now and cannot see any hint of the problem.

I'm at a loss because there is no indication of where the problem might lie.  I've checked permissions in the folders and for the database user.  I can log into the database as this user via the common MySql admin programs.  I can log into the site as any user and delete the lock file.

Not an option.

After install create include/config.inc.php manually using the sample config file as a guide.

Also

Code Select Expand

Apache/1.3.37 Server at 192.168.1.100 Port 80

That should not be displaying a private IP.

Any Ideas how or why it is showing the private IP?

Server setup is beyond the scope of this board. Is your initial issue solved?

[xeronex]

could you check again pls getting another message now  :'(

thx for your help nibbler

[Nibbler]

You need to enter the correct details in include/config.inc.php.

[xeronex]

// MySQL configuration
$CONFIG['dbserver'] =                         'localhost';        // Your databaseserver
$CONFIG['dbuser'] =                         'dbmaster';        // Your mysql username
$CONFIG['dbpass'] =                         'nottelling';                // Your mysql password
$CONFIG['dbname'] =                         'coppermine';        // Your mysql database name


// MySQL TABLE NAMES PREFIX
$CONFIG['TABLE_PREFIX'] =                'cpg1410_';
?>

should it look like this? i have changed the pass

[Nibbler]

Only you can know if it is correct. Did you create a database named 'coppermine'? If you look into it can you see tables with names starting with 'cpg1410_'?

[xeronex]

Nibbler you the man! sorted it was the cpg1410 bit , although i wonder why the installer never worked??  :'(

Thx for all your help

[Nibbler]

The installer was not able to create the config file but was able to create the lock file. I don't know why that would happpen.
