Install creates all empty tables (v2.8.1)

[jsherk]

I just tried to create my first application using v2.8.1-stable (both
with and without plugins) and I entered all information in Step 8 and
it appears to have completed succesfully, but when when I try to go to
the application, it redirects to install.php again.

Upon checking the tables, they are all created but they are all empty
which appears to be the problem.

Thanks

Did you check that the user given to PHPDevShell has all the needed
rights? that may sound dumb but "create table" right is not "update
table" right, so you might be authorize to create an empty table but
not filling it with content...

Yes the user has ALL permissions... I just figured out the problem
though:

I had changed the default table prefix from pds_ to mag_ (in config
file and on install page) ... apparently there is a bug that will
create the tables but will not populate them if this is changed.

I changed the table prefix back to pds_ and then the install went fine
and the tables were created and populated ok.

Thanks
