I complete the form, except for the sqlroot that I don't have, and he does not like it. I go on the site and I create the database, and the user, and the password.
How exactly did you do that? What privileges did you grant to the user account?
SO now those things are created from outside. I go back to my form... and he stills asks me for the root password. I try to give him my user password, but he trats it as a random password (unpleasent after all the time I needed to think that up!)
Could you please give the exact error message?
Now, it seems that the problem comes here: I tried both: $IP = "/wiki"; $IP = "/wiki/includes";
$IP must be the complete pathname on the filesystem that you are installing to. For instance, "/usr/local/www/data/wiki" or "/usr/home/ourpieee/public_html/wiki".
Also, if you use the command-line installer, you MUST NOT install to the directory you are installing FROM.
BTW, the frontend panel of the sql has all sort of privileges that can be granted to users:
User: ourpieee_wikiuse Db: ourpieee_wikidb Privileges: ALL ALTER CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES CREATE DELETE DROP SELECT INSERT UPDATE REFERENCES INDEX LOCK TABLES
That's probably ok. What was the error message when you tried to use this account with the web install?
