What issues are you running into?
Errors being created?
Blank white screen after install?

Did you try searching the forums?

a search for 'ipower' pulls this result:
http://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/installation/hereand039s_...

which says:
My website is hosted on iPower and its setup was a bit unique but perhaps my answers can help someone else with the install for database novices...

The name of my database and login username both require a prefix with an underscore (determined by the first several letters of the website name. This, unfortunately, was not immediately obvious for me. When I created the database initially, there was nothing in the instructions to indicate this. But since I have another database on my site, I had something to consult.

For most people, "localhost" or "Localhost" will be the server requested in the setup screen. But mine was something else entirely. On my server was a little note below the database information that the database was located on mywebsite.ipowermysql.com (where "mywebsite" was the abbreviated url of my site - the first several letters).

I had some frustration since concrete5 was unable to connect to the database until I pieced it all together. If you're having trouble connecting, double-check with your host and MySQL database settings. It's worth trying to figure it all out to get it installed.

Thanks for creating this CMS. I'm really looking forward to using it.

Hope that does it for you!

cannonf700,
This suggestion didn't work for me.

Thanks!

I've tried to install it multiple times. I've gotten "can't connect to the database" a few times and then a couple of times..it seemed like it was connecting and i got a blank white screen.

Thanks for your help.

Phil,
I think I'm getting closer...it looks like the db is connecting. I'm now getting this error-

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'ADODB_Exception' with message 'mysql error: [1146: Table 'concrete.Config' doesn't exist] in EXECUTE("select cfValue from Config where cfKey = 'ENABLE_CACHE'") ' in /hermes/bosweb/web248/b2486/ipw.tatum/public_html/concrete/concrete/libraries/3rdparty/adodb/adodb-exceptions.inc.php:78 Stack trace: #0 /hermes/bosweb/web248/b2486/ipw.tatum/public_html/concrete/concrete/libraries/3rdparty/adodb/adodb.inc.php(1037): adodb_throw('mysql', 'EXECUTE', 1146, 'Table 'concrete...', 'select cfValue ...', false, Object(ADODB_mysql)) #1 /hermes/bosweb/web248/b2486/ipw.tatum/public_html/concrete/concrete/libraries/3rdparty/adodb/adodb.inc.php(993): ADOConnection->_Execute('select cfValue ...') #2 /hermes/bosweb/web248/b2486/ipw.tatum/public_html/concrete/concrete/libraries/3rdparty/adodb/adodb.inc.php(1605): ADOConnection->Execute('select cfValue ...', Array) #3 [internal function]: ADOConnection->GetRow('select cfValue ...', Array) #4 /hermes/bosweb/web248/b2486/ipw.tatum/public_html/concrete/concrete/l in /hermes/bosweb/web248/b2486/ipw.tatum/public_html/concrete/concrete/libraries/3rdparty/adodb/adodb-exceptions.inc.php on line 78

PHP-MySQL is looking for table "Config" and not finding it. Can you look at your database with phpMyAdmin and see a database called "concrete" and if there is a table called "Config".

It may be a MySQL permissions issue.

From the Basic installation guide:
http://www.concrete5.org/documentation/installation/installing_conc...

5.Create a new MySQL database and a MySQL user account with the following privileges on that database: INSERT, SELECT, UPDATE, INDEX, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, ALTER

Thank you for your help.
Yes, there is a table "config" in the db and my permissions are set. I'll attach a pic of the table...not sure if that will help or not..

I think I see the problem. c5 is looking for the table "Config" (notice the Upper-case C) and your table is named "config". I have seen something like this somewhere else in the forums. Let me see if I can find it.

ltatum is the user and the privileges are attached.

I found this:

Anyone out there got a "magic mysql script"?

I would bet the "lower case table names" setting in MySQL is incorrect. Should be 0, not 1. See attachment.

you are awesome! that worked...i'm in..now i'm getting "page not found", but i think that may be an issue with my "site.php" file...correct?

Thanks so much for getting me this far!

Thank you so much!

WOOOOHOOO! Congratulations! Your site looks very very nice. Well done :)

you are awesome!!!!!
Thanks again for you help!

Maybe. What is your domain name and what do you have in your site.php? Did you install c5 in s subdirectory off the web root?

I am really confused in which company i will host my site. So i asked my friends they gave me the option for unlimitedgb.com.Now am really happy while working with them.

please don't spam the forums.
