My installation process stalled at entering database information.

Posted by dpaanlka on September 7, 2008 at 1:07am

I've gotten to the "Database configuration" page of the Drupal install file, but when I enter my database information and press Save and continue, it just takes me back to the same page with no error or anything - as if I didn't do anything.

My database is on a different server so I typed it in the box as sql.bradleyscout.com - I'm not sure if that's where my problem is coming in. Dreamhost doesn't allow me to set up a SQL database on the same server using their utilities.

I have same problem for drupal 6.4. Though my database is also on same machine. It just takes me back to same page again and again without displaying any error.

Solution: Go into settings.php and change $db_url on your own. it will solve your problem. I am not sure why drupal code itself is not overwritting $db_url

I hope this helps.

Thanks,
