Have you made sure that all of your file permissions on your C5 install are set at 775 or 777? I use FileZilla FTP to access my site and I simply right click on my root directory where my install resides and I get an option for file permissions, set them to my desired level click ok and away it goes.
Yes I have made sure my file permissions on C5 install are set to 777 Translates everyone has ( Read, Write Execute) permissions
What should I check next!
I am out of ideas HELP!!

Sorry for a late reply, been pretty busy. Have you fixed this yet? The only other thing I can think of at this time besides making sure the permissions are set (and recursed throughout all subfolders/directories)would be to talk to your hosting company and see what they suggest.
I honestly have not used 1and1 for hosting and personally do not like Windows based servers.
Sorry I couldn't have bee more help, I'll keep an eye on the thread until you figure it out or if I think of something else.

Im not certain but I think all this is entered into the database so its potentially an error at this stage?
If you think the DB details are correct then check you have the right permissions to create the DB tables. Don't know if its the cause but in theory would cause that problem.

I am using the MYSQL root account like i did in the other successful installations
Did just that 1and1 server tech's are saying the dynamic cloud servers are more or less metal just virtual with full root access hence I should not experience undue permissions issues over which I have no control
I have installed a few instances of concrete5 on metal in our R&D environment seamlessly, only when trying to replicate this on the 1and1 dynamic cloud server the issue arises!
It’s as if no “data base exist”, is their some kind of debugging in could which would help me better pinpoint what’s not communicating with what or which permissions ,read write access is been denied?

If you are getting all of those errors, then it isn't a database issue.
More likely, it is some kind of session issue.
Try uploading a file called test.php and adding the following code to it:
First time you load the page you should get the text saying 'No session variable here yet. Try clicking refresh...'. Hit refresh and you should get 'Session vars are working just fine'. If not, then you have a session issue...
Simple test - give it a try and post the results...

I'm running into the same issue and have tried all the above. Looks like I have a session issue. My test file states "No session variable here yet. Try clicking refresh... " after refreshing. What should I do from here?
