Hi robse,

Welcome to the forums.

Although I haveno idea why you don't get the proper error message I advise you to edit the config file by hand. It's /conf/_basic_config.php and you want to provide the following information:

$db_config = array(
	'user'          => 'root',     // your MySQL username
	'password'      => '',     // ...and password
	'name'          => 'b2evolution',  // the name of the database
	'host'          => 'localhost',    // MySQL Server (typically 'localhost')
);

and

$baseurl = 'http://localhost/bzr/B2evoHEAD/blogs/';

and

$admin_email = 'postmaster@localhost';

All with your own details and not mine.

Now try to run the installer script again. If all is well it will suggest the data you provided in the config file and you (the installer script) can proceed with filling the database.

Good luck

Thank you afwas.

It was not necessary to do that after all. I had not tried the one thing you always, always have to try first: reboot the machine. worked fine after that
