hello again,
the installation script generates and populates the new db tables.
i checked the tables. there does not seem any problem.
after all,
i succeeded to make the installation generate the localsetttings.php file.
i did this bu commenting some lines in the installation script.
however, when i browse the index page, i get internal server error on the browser.
by the way, i think i opened this topic in the wrong forum. it must be under php-mysql forum. i will be pleased if the admins can move this to the right forum.
thanks..
