      Installation Problems
      Installation breaks website

      I'm having serious problems getting the vaultwiki to install.

      I followed the steps on your installation page to install the software but there are some inconsistancies there.

      The first problem is my Mysql version, i'm running 4.1.20 not version 5 so that failed right away, it appears that the installation process is dependent on v5 as all the modifications to the tables are not happening which makes uninstalling a complete nightmare

      i changed the required mysql version to see if it would work and the process seemed to install but the page flashed up so fast and was gone that it was impossible to see if there were any errors..

      I then went to my forum home page and found following error:
      Code:
      Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in [path]/includes/init.php(293) : eval()'d code on line 26
      When I tried to uninstall i received several database errors telling me that tables were missing etc. This has also caused my admin panel to stop working as i now receive a database error whenever i try to go there. I'm now re-uploading my backup mysql dump so that i can restore it (i'm so happy i did that haha)

      From reading through the special_install.php code it seems that you need to have nuwiki installed first? and following your install instructions you need to create 5 forums which have to have "Enable wiki in the forum" selected, which you cannot do unless you have the module installed in the first place...

      So, I'm about to re-import my database and hopefully that should restore it back to what it was before the attempted installation.

      I think you need to check this on a virgin installation that doesn't have nuwiki installed prior to installing this and make a new set of instructions that a user can follow to install correctly, also it may pay to put a "system requirements" in the descriptions of the downloads so that users like myself know that you need version 5 of Mysql before we download product that we can't use.

      I also think that the uninstall process needs to do checks on the database to see if particular tables/columns exist before it tries deleting/editing them as this is what causes all the errors for me when trying to uninstall..its' looking for tables that are not there....reinstalling doesn't replace them either.....

      Are there any plans to make this work with version 4.120 of Mysql? As it is I am unable to use it and have paid $40 for something I can't use as there was no warning of the required version before I downloaded

      Hi, I will go through the special_install.php again and try installing it when NuWiki doesn't already exist. Normally you wouldn't see these database errors on install/uninstall, but when the product is marked "Beta" I try not to suppress errors so that people can report them.

      I believe that the only thing that requires PHP 5 is the NuWiki importer, which is not a part of the installer.

      These confusing parts about the installation may need to be clarified:
      You only need to modify NuWiki settings if you have NuWiki installed. Any of the other settings you mentioned confusion about are added by the product that failed to install.
