    Tried several different clean installs, but can't get the database to be created (tables, etc.). The install looks like it completes fine but when I attempt to open the admin or index.php I get the error that the tables have not been created.

    the database and user with all permissions are correct and in the plog_config.php file.

    I am at a loss! Any suggestions???

    bkmacdaddy,

    I'm not sure what is going on. Do you have any specs for your server (OS, PHP version, MySQL version, etc.). However, it looks like at least one other person is experiencing similar issues.

    Linux
    PHP 4
    MySQL 4.1.20 (I think)

    I haven't had any issues like this with any other PHP scripts I've installed. I'm guessing it's something relatively simple...?

    I don't know. You didn't receive any error messages? I can't see anything straight away by looking at the code for the install_functions.php. I really don't know what could be going wrong. I'll keep looking and let you know if I find anything.

    bkmacdaddy,

    Did you click the "Proceed" button at the end? I just noticed that the tables are not created until that button is clicked (even though it says that setup is complete). I'll try to clear up any confusion in the SVN trunk for future releases

    I did try to click proceed but nothing happened. So I manually entered the url for the admin and for the home page. So that's probably the problem. I'm thinking it might have something to do with Firefox (because sometimes buttons become disabled in that browser in similar situations). I'll try reinstalling using IE and see what happens.

    hmmm . . . I'm not sure. I actually installed mine on Firefox as well. Go ahead and try in in IE. Let me know if it just sits there, of if any errors are printed out.

    Also, what webhost are you hosting on?

    Yep. That did it. IE worked. How frustrating! :|

    Thanks for the clues that helped me solve this. It's probably on my end with my version of Firefox (although I have the latest version...)

    Anyway, thanks! Problem solved. I'm off to set up the gallery! ;)

    I have exactly the same problem. I tried installation proccess in Opera 9, IE6, IE7, FF2, FF3. Unfortunately it doesn't work.

    kukluk,

    Can you click the "Proceed" button at the end? If not, can you view source and post it here (removing any sensitive information that you don't want posted) or email it to me?

    Nothing happend - when I click on "proceed"

    But my solution is:
    I've created all tables manually!! Then reinstall.
    And now - it works.
