I just downloaded Version: 2.5.2 - Build: 20120606, from the downloads page.  I’ve followed the instructions, ensuring file permissions and db settings prior to running the installation (this is my sixth EE installation…it’s not my maiden voyage).

There are numerous errors, but they appear to revolve around a scripting error…the db environment variable being reset (somewhere) to include an erroneous slash.

The initial error reads:

A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Warning

Message: require_once(/my_server_path/system/codeigniter/system/database/drivers/mysql//mysql/_driver.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory

Filename: database/DB.php

Line Number: 129

Note the backslashes after the variable storing “mysql”.  I’ve tried to bypass the variable used in db.php, but that just leads to further, similar errors in other files.

Any ideas?  Any EE developers checking this forum?

Any takers?

Hi, Poultry in Motion!  Nice to meet you!

It looks like you might be missing some important MySQL drivers.  Have you run our Server Check Wizard? You can find it here:

http://expressionengine.com/overview/requirements/

and that should give us a look into what is going on. 

Failing that, in /system/expressionengine/utilities you’ll find a file called dbtest.php.  You can copy this to root, edit the first 4 lines, then visit it in your browser to do a very simple check of the database connectivity.

Please let us know what you find out from those!
