Bonk Message During New Install

annie

Hi everyone:

I am trying to run a basic install of vanilla(2.0.17.8) on Redhat5, php5.2.16. I am getting the mysterious "BonkSomething funky happened. Please bear with us while we iron out the kinks." message after I enter in all my setup parameters, such as db name/pass.

I checked conf/config-defaults.php, based on another forum thread, but it looks like my settings are set to show verbose error messages:
*************************
$Configuration['Garden']['Errors']['LogEnabled'] = FALSE;
$Configuration['Garden']['Errors']['LogFile'] = '';
$Configuration['Garden']['Errors']['MasterView'] = 'deverror.master.php'; // Used at installation time and you should use it too view when debugging
*************************

I checked the database and it looks like no tables have been created. I double checked the connection parameters and they are right.

Any help would be much appreciated.

-thanks

Comment out $Configuration['Garden']['Errors']['MasterView'] = 'deverror.master.php';
This will reveal the error message.
