Pyrocms Installation on MAMP

[eluser]helloworldly[/eluser]
Not sure if the Codeigniter ignited code forum is the place for this type of Q - but I see Phil answering Q's here so here goes:

Was testing out Pyrocms on MAMP. Installation is hung up on final step:

"The installer could not add any tables to the Database. Please verify your MySQL user has CREATE TABLE privileges"

Though I'm looking at Mamp's phpmyadmin and I see it did indeed create the database, tables and that the user has 100% of all priviledges.

I've tried various times: creating db via phpmyadmin or via the Pyrocms installer -- and with and without the dummy text insertions.

Thoughts? Thanks much.

Sounds very strange,

I've been playing with PyroCMS on MAMP and I've never experienced this, although I usually create my database table ahead of time. When I tried to create the database using the tool it worked successfully.

Have you changed your MySQL user from root to something else in MAMP?

I usually don't mess with it.

[eluser]helloworldly[/eluser]
Yeah, I tried creating the database via mamp's phpmyadmin rather than have the installer do it, and no - all mamp settings = default: root, root etc...

Yeah odd...

[eluser]helloworldly[/eluser]
all mamp = default including mysql port = 8889 which i defined in step1 of the pyro installer process.

[eluser]Devon Lambert[/eluser]
hmmm,

I never had to change the port in the installer. Just left it at its default.

I also set server as "localhost".

It would make sense that the installer errors out if it can't create the database tables if they already exist...

If that was v0.9.8-beta1 then try downloading the bleeding edge version. There was an error in the SQL syntax that would cause errors flagging the error you reported.

Delete your database and try again. :-)

Btw I have just installed this on MAMP Pro running default extensions and it works fine. I did of course have to sort out the common MAMP sock problem but I think most of us sort that in our own way.

I just installed Pyro on MAMP and I'm having trouble accessing any of the urls. I get a 404 when I try to go to /admin or any other URL.

I installed with mod_rewrite and i have Indexes, Includes, SymLinks and ExecCGI and MultiViews all enabled.

Any idea what setting I need to change to get this working?

[eluser]abelafonte[/eluser]
ahh. I figured it out. For some reason, my htaccess file wasn't there. Such a breeze.
