HI
Thanks for the help
Re the errors I have sent them all many times, seems I'm sending them
to support
and they dont  show up.
I now realise you have to come here first.


Looking at the FAQ gives me a clue.


Here is the first attempt on my dev box server1
****************************************************


Fatal error: Table 'rokpadata.users' doesn't exist query: SELECT u.*,
s.* FROM users u INNER JOIN sessions s ON u.uid = s.uid WHERE s.sid =
'd473a5ff7145759a4777919c0fda44ab' AND u.status < 3 LIMIT 0, 1 in
/usr/share/drupal/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 125


***************************************


Is this telling me that the install script didnt build the DB?


On my Live server I get this:


**************************************


Warning: Table 'rokpadata.access' doesn't exist query: SELECT CASE WHEN
status=1 THEN 0 ELSE 1 END FROM access WHERE type = 'host' AND
LOWER('81.104.175.13') LIKE LOWER(mask) ORDER BY status DESC LIMIT 0, 1
in
/home/4858/rokpacardiff/www.rokpacardiff.com/public_html/drupal-5/includes/database.mysql.inc
on line 172


Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cookie - headers already
sent by (output started at
/home/4858/rokpacardiff/www.rokpacardiff.com/public_html/drupal-5/includes/database.mysql.inc:172)
in
/home/4858/rokpacardiff/www.rokpacardiff.com/public_html/drupal-5/includes/bootstrap.inc
on line 811


Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers
already sent (output started at
/home/4858/rokpacardiff/www.rokpacardiff.com/public_html/drupal-5/includes/database.mysql.inc:172)

/home/4858/rokpacardiff/www.rokpacardiff.com/public_html/drupal-5/includes/bootstrap.inc
on line 811


Warning: Table 'rokpadata.cache' doesn't exist query: SELECT data,
created, headers, expire FROM cache WHERE cid = 'variables' in
/home/4858/rokpacardiff/www.rokpacardiff.com/public_html/drupal-5/includes/database.mysql.inc
on line 172


*********************************************


I assume that this is actually logging in and finding a db.


The DB is rokpadata and the user is
rokpauser


I'm trying to get the charity onto Drupal so they can update the site
themselves, it's getting to big at:


www.rokpacardiff.com


Many thanks for your time


Bob

HI
I have tried 3 times installing Drupal and I get futher each time.
Thing is I can't seem to find any error docs or what the errors mean.


I stick them in Goole and search there.


I realize most of the install errors are mysql config, but wondering if
the developers can give some guidance on here
as to what the problem may be for other users to see.


Cheers
Bob

Well, no, we can't.  Not unless you show us what the errors are. :-)
