Issue Summary

Hello everyone,
I entered all the data correctly, but when I import data users appears to me to a page with this text:

Unsupported type database

The database type is unsupported. Please use either mysql for MySQL 3.x & 4.0.x databases, mysqli for MySQL 4.1.x + databases, or pgsql for PostgreSQL databases. The database information is in your settings.php file.

For more help, see the Installation and upgrading handbook. If you are unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your hosting provider.

What would you suggest to do?

There was a bug in older versions of Xoops Import that could lead to this problem. Are you running the latest version?

If yes, what database type are you using? If you can see it in the settings.php file, the first part of the database URL.

I'm using the xoops import's latest version and the database type is mysql.

I did look into this briefly and I could not find an obvious problem. Will dig some more.

Hi,

I had the same problem: test site worked fine on PHP 5 and MySQL 5 with the mysql setting.
But when installing the real site I did get the same message:

After looking in the webserver log I found:
[Tue Jan 08 00:59:43 2008] [error] PHP Warning: include_once(./sites/default/settings.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/vhosts/httpdocs/site/includes/bootstrap.inc on line 243

Problem was solved after changing the security to 755 on settings.php and the directory.

I think the message should be changed.

MarcDo, are you sure this related to the Xoops Import issue report here?

It does not sound related to me.

This helped me I changed the file permission on settings.php to 755 (rwxr_xr_x) and every thing works fine now. Error message is not helpfull at all.

It might not be related, it's just the error message that triggered me to write a response. It doesn't seem to be very helpful when something general is wrong.
