Damn. > global $_CONF, $_DB_dbms, $_TABLES; [...] > @mysql_connect ($_DB_host, $_DB_user, $_DB_pass); Question of the day: What is missing here? Yep, the "global" statement is missing the $_DB_host, $_DB_user, $_DB_pass variables, hence the mysql_connect will fail. Not sure why this hasn't been noticed earlier. Maybe it's because you're running MySQL 4 - it may be handling this differently. In any case, it's a bug in the install script. Add those three variables to the "global" statement in function INST_createDatabaseStructures() and see if that helps. Thanks for your help finding this. bye, Dirk -- http://www.haun-online.de/ http://www.macosx-faq.de/
