Don van Hal	Wednesday 21 July 2004 3:56:49 pm Hi just tried installing ezPublish 3x in a row, but I keep on getting the "kernel (50) no database connection could be made, the system might not behave properly" message. Went through the forum messages, but couldn't figure out how to solve it. - system is Linux - chmod all mentioned directories with FlashFXP (indicated option all subfolders and files so should be -R) - system is running on safe mode, so skipped finetuning step 2 + 3 - put in data for database etc - changed .htaccess_root to .htaccess. - finished the installation succesfully. But then got the error message. Putting the database username and password in the site.ini file did not work. What can I do? Don
Stuart DH	Wednesday 21 July 2004 4:42:51 pm Not setting CHMOD 777 for settings/siteaccess was causing this problem for me...even why I used FlashFXP to 777 the settings folder http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk

Don van Hal	Monday 26 July 2004 7:59:19 am Reading from the past messages more people have this problem. My ISP has no idea what to do and I can't find an answer on internet. I hope someone who reads this can help us. Looking forward to a reply from a ezPublish expert Don
Don van Hal	Monday 26 July 2004 12:21:06 pm A little more info: during installation the file site.ini.append is not written to the relevant subdirs (settings/override and /settings/siteaccess/plain and ../plain_admin.). So none of the database access info and other info is stored and thus cannot be read when the site starts. If I add a file site.ini.append.php with database info to settings/override it doesn't give the kernel (50) error anymore. But it gives lots of kernel (3) object not found issues. Is there anyway to ensure the installation process WILL write all info to the right ini.append files (dirs are all 777)
