DB_DRIVER

[onyxnz]

I am having trouble installing latest version on localhost, where I do all my dev work;
LinuxMint18.1 with Nginx and PHP7-FPM with MariaDB.
I get to /install/index.php?rt=install&runlevel=1 after submitting the config form, and it starts the progress scroller, then this:

Following error has occurred during installation:
OK:
Name   Info
10000::database error
Error: Could not load database file DB_DRIVER! in /home/onyx/htdocs/AbanteCart/public_html/core/lib/db.php on line 46


Config.php is writeable.
I have tried by Mysqli and PDO options for database, but it is still just using the POST field name DB_DRIVER to search for the database driver...wot the?

did you tried cli install? i mean file https://github.com/abantecart/abantecart-src/blob/master/public_html/install/cli_install.php
see comments for run command

[onyxnz]

Yes I did, and noticed that the comment documentation in the header of that file is very wrong, too.

php cli_install.php install --db_host localhost --db_user onyx --db_password mariadb --db_name abantecart --db_prefix hk1_ --admin_path onyx_hkadmin --db_driver mysqli --db_port 3306 --username onyx --password mypassword --email myemail @ gmail.com

had to remove --http_server directive for this post due to defeat inability to post external links! and added spaces to email address
results in:
FAILED! Pre-installation check failed: Invalid E-Mail!
   Error: Could not load database file 1!

[onyxnz]

is there a sample config.php file somewhere ?
I want to try with that written manually

[abolabo]

you have error in command.
should to set

Code Select Expand

--db_driver=amysqli

[onyxnz]

Tried that with same results -
FAILED! Pre-installation check failed: Invalid E-Mail!
   Error: Could not load database file 1!

AHA!

So the '=' are required, which is totally different from the documentation inside cli_install.php which says:

* Command line tool for installing AbanteCart
*
* Usage:
* cd install
*
*    php cli_install.php install
*                               --db_hostname localhost
*                                --db_username root
*                                --db_password pass
*                                --db_database abantecart
*                                --db_driver mysqli
*                                --db_port 3306
*                                --username admin
*                                --password admin


So now I have managed to install, thanks.
