Habari install database setup

[avdmeers]

Hi,

For a while I've been stuck at the database setup for Habari. Details:

- The database has been setup (MySQL), a database has been made and
access given to a user with all the required privileges.

- The rewrite_module is loaded and working.

- The specific error I get is:
--------------------------------------------
Installation Issue

The installer couldn't verify your settings, possibly because your
server is not correctly configured. See the manual for information on
how to correct this problem, or continue without database
verification.

All help is appreciated, since I'm hopelessly stuck for the moment.
Thanks in advance.

I was stuck in the same spot for quite awhile. On the Habari
installation page there is a section about "My .htaccess file wasn't
written!". I copy/pasted the the following into my .htaccess file and
was on my way. Hope it works for you as well.

### HABARI START
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule . index.php [PT]
RewriteRule ^(system/(classes|locale|schema|$)) index.php [PT]
### HABARI END

Thanks, but it doesn't seem to do the trick, the .htaccess was already
configured. When I press "check database connection" after giving the
database info, it seems to overwrite the .htaccess file to the usual:

### HABARI START
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/favicon.ico
RewriteBase /blog
RewriteRule . index.php [PT]
RewriteRule ^(system/(classes|handlers|locale|schema|$)) index.php
[PT]
### HABARI END

Solved, when installing Habari, I used the svn repository to get the
latest files, when I went to download the official 0.7 archive on
habariproject I got to install it.

This issue may have been fixed for svn checkouts with r5101 (
http://trac.habariproject.org/habari/changeset/5101 ).
