Install Step 2 Database engine invalid

[craicit]

HI I have installed timetrex 1.4.2. when i run the install.php every
thing checks out ok except for the message \'database engine: invalid
. I am running on XP sp2 with PHP 5.2, MYSQL 5.0.27. Apache 2.0

Can anybody give me an indication of what could be causing this.

Also if i load up the databaseconfig.php the datbase type dropdown is empty.


regards
conor

Database part of timetrex.ini.php
[database]
type = mysqlt
;type = postgres8

host = localhost
database_name = timetrex
user = timetrex
password = timetrex

Hi,

Another way of installing apache, php, mysql is by using the package from Xampp (http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html).
It was just a few clicks for setting up the whole thing including timetrex 1.4.2 and everything works without any issue.

Of course I did have my share of issues with installing each of the s/w independently. But this xampp stuff really is cool.

Try it out for later installations.
