My drupal installation is not able to complete, though it provides no errors nor complaints. Every time I try to do the installation it does swimmingly until I get to database set up. Then it refuses to proceed further, though it has no specific complaints about database setup, and acutally seems to successfully create the database.
I've tried to do this so many times now, that I actually have a list of all the commands necessary. Starting with freshly downloaded drupal-7.15.tar.gz, here is an exact paste of the info just so you know I'm doing things right:
dan@ebony /var/www/gate $ rm -rf htdocs/
dan@ebony /var/www/gate $ tar xf drupal-7.15.tar.gz
dan@ebony /var/www/gate $ mv drupal-7.15 htdocs
dan@ebony /var/www/gate $ cp htdocs/sites/default/default.settings.php htdocs/sites/default/settings.php
dan@ebony /var/www/gate $ chmod -R o+w htdocs/sites/default
dan@ebony /var/www/gate $ mysql -u root -p -e "drop database if exists languagegate_drupal; create database languagegate_drupal; grant all on languagegate_drupal.* to 'languagegate'@'localhost' identified by 'xxxxxxxxxxx';";
Enter password:
dan@ebony /var/www/gate $
The INSTALL.txt gave different database privileges than the online instructions, so in desparation, I am here shown trying 'all' privileges.
