i just try to install commentrics,
did all this:
1. Download and unzip the programme.
2. Create a database for Commentics on your server.
3. Open comments/includes/db/connect.php and enter your database details.
4. Upload the programme (comments folder) to your website root.
5. Change the permissions of http://www.domain.com/comments/includes/db/connect.php to 444.
6. Rename the admin folder http://www.domain.com/comments/admin/
7. Run the installer http://www.domain.com/comments/installer/

but by point 7 the installer stops after:
A system check is now being performed ..

PHP version is 5.2 or higher Pass
MySQL version is 5.0.7 or higher Pass
Ctype extension is available Pass

any idea?
best regards


ps. no database been build, as i see in phpmyadmin

Try navigating to http://www.domain.com/comments/installer/install_1.php and tell me what happens.

Note to Steven: Why do I have to wait ~3 minutes after posting? What's the reason for the limitation?

EDIT: and the installer doesn't create the DB itself, you need to create it through phpMyAdmin or an alternative.

hi. i have almost the same issue. Tried to install, but next page shows error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_set_charset() in /home/la01/7887012/comments/installer/install_1.php on line 54

Magic Quotes is enabled though.

Checked the mySQL settings:
MySQL charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)
MySQL connection collation: utf8_unicode_ci

Tried to modify line 54 with several different settings, nothing changes.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi,

What PHP and MySQL version do you have?

You might find this post useful.

The line numbers won't be accurate anymore, and I forgot to mention the installer files.

yes, I found a solution from there.
I changed "mysql_set_charset('utf8'); //set utf-8 charset" lines with "mysql_query("SET NAMES 'UTF8'"); //set utf-8 charset" in all the mentioned files plus install_1 and install_2. That worked.
Thanks.

I'm glad the solution worked for you.

The next version of Commentics will use 'SET NAMES' if mysql_set_charset() is undefined.
