Install issue

[JohnnyQuick]

I followed the install process as indicated, but when I run the
install, and enter what I think is the correct info, it says it has a
database connection issue. I tried to run the manual method, but
phpMyAdmin gives me an error on importing the .sql file "#1286 -
Unknown table engine 'MyISAM1' " This occurs during the operation:
CREATE TABLE 'gel_feeds'

Any ideas? I have the config pointing to the right places, and user,
and db name... did I miss something painfully obvious?

Cheers
JohnnyQuick

What version of gelato are you trying to install?

[echo]

I am trying to install Gelato Vaniglia ALPHA — grabbed from this URL:
http://gelatocms.googlecode.com/files/gelato1-0-ALPHA.zip — and this
is the error message I receive when I load install.php:
"Error establishing a database connection

This either means that the username and password information in your
config.php file is incorrect or we can't contact the database server
at localhost. This could mean your host's database server is down.

* Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
* Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
* Are you sure that the database server is running?"

The hostname, username and password information in config.php is
correct and the database server is definitely running. I didn't try
anything but the browser install, but it looks like I would have run
into the same problem as JohnnyQuick.

could you please give us an example of your config? of course DO NOT INCLUDE real data.

Oops! I believe I accidentally hit "Reply to author," instead of
"Reply" — sorry about that!
Let me try this again ;)

Here is the config.php with sensitive data removed:

<?php
if(!defined('entry') || !entry) die('Not a valid page');

define('DB_Server', '[********]');

Ok, I found the problem, yuo must remove the brakets [ ] should be:

define('DB_Server', '******');
define('DB_name', '******');
define('DB_User', '******');
define('DB_Password', '******');

define('Table_prefix', 'gelato_myprefix_');

Hi to all!
Well im trying to install Gelato CMS but theres a problem.Im using the
Automatic install but I don't know what should I type in the
Installation URL field.The files are in my root directory.
So if you can tell me I would really appreciate it!

Hi, the URL of your site, for example http://www.example.com

Oh dear! I can't believe that slipped right past me. (Actually, I can,
but that's another story.)
With brackets deleted, installation is completed and testing can
begin.
Thanks!

It would be a good idea remove the brakets [] on the config file on the future release, because is confuse.

It happened to me too with the 1.0 version.

Regards.
