Additional info, since i noticed it just yet. The point at which the password breaks was a $ sign.

Maybe you have a duff installer as I did a new install and all went well

Thanks for your feedback and testing. Yes, that's the interesting part, to find out why it fails to me, and works for you. I already expected that this is nothing common. Else we would have much more reports about failing installs. Interesting problem.

On the other hand, it's one of thousand who reallly reports a bug. The others simply leave when the software already fails at install.

I did nothing uncommon for sure. It's the official package from this page. And i don't have any influence at how the basic_config.php file gets written by the installer script. I just see the result. And the result was a killed passwort part as shown in the image.

Some bugs have always been harder to catch than others. Maybe the environment plays a role too. PHP version, etc. . As told, it gots split at the $ sign in the password, and the $ was missing then. Which would speak for a problem in the text parser in b2evolution. My guess is that it interprets this $ sign as not being part of the password. Maybe just under some special circumstances. But here i have to wait for developer feedback what extra info is needed.

Since i don't use this password anymore, here it is: sd46f6d$4f6Ds4f6

Good catch. Let's see if this is of use for the developers here :)

As the owner of this topic maybe you can set the forum to General Support where more people may see it.
How did you fix the problem ~ did you just use a new password without the $

If what I've read makes sense maybe there is some code that uses the double quotes, but I can't be bothered to set up a new database with a password containing $ though it would be a good idea to see if I can replicate your problem.

As told in the first post, i have manually fixed the problem in the basic_config.php by removing the extra added comment, and using another passwort then.

I have unfortunately no idea how to modify the first post so that it shows in another category.

The category options are usually below the post. Maybe it's too late to change it ???

Done.
