    I downloaded beta5 for a fresh install.

    After i got to /setup/ and enter my credentials for mysql, i pressed " Test database server connection and view collations." and got the green result "Connecting to mysql server: Success!" but nothing happened when i pressed the next "Create or test selection of your database." so i tried changing some information and noticed no mather what i wrote it would still say "Success!", even if i wrote "localhost1".

    Is this a bug? Something wrong from my side?

    Thanks,

        I would suggest you first delete the directory tree and start completely over. Re-download the normal Revo5, follow the directions, and start over. My first guess is that all of the files were not in place or you had not set the correct permissions on files and folders before you got started.

          Ok, im sorry for my late reply and that i missed to include this:

          Linux 2.6.18-6-686 with Apache 2.0 and PHP 5.2.0-8+etch16 with mysql 5.0.32 (pdo & pdo_mysql running) and im running Google Chrome & Firefox latest

          Edit:
          wshawn: I already downloaded revo5 and did a fresh folder and used several different mysql-users with diff permissions.

            1. Is gpc_magic_quotes disabled?
            2. What is both your mysql client and server versions?
            3. Does the MySQL user have permissions to actually CREATE DATABASE?
            4. Are you behind any proxy?
            5. Are you running eAccelerator?

                  Ive turned magic quotes off now but still doesnt work.

                  If i use localhost and press the first link in setup, i get Connection success and on the second link nothing happends and the next-button is still hidden, but if i use localhost1 instead then i still get Connection success on the first link but on the second link i get this error:
                  Checking database:Could not connect to the mysql server.

                  If it is to anyones help

                  Edit: Also, I just checked this.
                  When i change the database-name to "blabla" it prints the same message and it creates a new empty db with that name but it doesnt create any tables.

                    I bet it’s your PHP version: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=35793

                    Might need to upgrade.
