Table Prefix Error after installation

[Mark]

I have downloaded and installed the current Alpha release, however I receive the following error when I try and access my completed FormTools installation (after deleting the 'install' folder):

Uh-oh.

Form Tools couldn't find all the database tables. Please check your /global/config.php file to confirm the $g_table_prefix setting. The following tables are missing:
ft_account_settings
ft_accounts
ft_client_forms
ft_client_views
ft_email_template_edit_submission_views
ft_email_template_recipients
ft_email_templates
ft_field_options
ft_field_settings
ft_field_type_setting_options
ft_field_type_settings
ft_field_types
ft_form_email_fields
ft_form_fields
ft_forms
ft_hook_calls
ft_hooks
ft_list_groups
ft_menu_items
ft_menus
ft_modules
ft_multi_page_form_urls
ft_new_view_submission_defaults
ft_option_lists
ft_public_form_omit_list
ft_public_view_omit_list
ft_sessions
ft_settings
ft_themes
ft_view_columns
ft_view_fields
ft_view_filters
ft_view_tabs

Huh... curious. I'll do a fresh installation and get back to you shortly.

Hi HTR,

What a pain. No, unfortunately it works fine for me. I did fresh installations using both the default prefix (ft_), a custom one and none whatsoever. All work fine. Did you download the alpha from http://alpha.formtools.org, or generate it through the custom build script? (http://www.formtools.org/build/).

One other thing: do you remember if you used your own table prefix, or left it as the default?

Would it be possible for you to email me the zipfile (if you still have it around)? I'd like to test it out myself. My email is ben.keen@gmail.com

btw, just so you know I introduced a pretty major bug into the Alpha in the last build: the accounts table isn't being created properly so you can't log in. I'll have this fixed in today's build.

Hi Ben,

Thanks for the reply. I do still have this failed installation available on a web server, but unfortunately I don't have the original ZIP download to hand. I downloaded the Alpha from 'alpha.formtools.org' rather than the Custom Builder.

I have downloaded yesterday's Alpha build and cannot progress past the same error.

I have sent you a PM with login details to my server so you can investigate the failed installation.

Many thanks,
Mark H

Just to sum up this thread, this was due to there being a hyphen in the database name & PHP getting confused.

This is fixed in today's Alpha build.
