Error on step 4 of 5 "No DB LAYER found!"

[evans17]

I get to all steps but when I get here I get this error "No DB LAYER found!"\

Install Info
Select Language :: English
Database type :: mysqli
phpBB version :: 2.0.14
EasyMOD version :: 0.1.13
EM status :: New Install

It picks up that I am using mysqli extensions
I have mysql 4.1 installed along with php5
The board works fine, but where do I setup the account info for it to access the database?

Ok I got it now, Wow what a mess to install

First was mysqli does not have a case selection in easymod_install.php

I changed mysql4 to mysqli and got past this step now

Then I did the

easymod_install.php, Line 982 wrote:

fix

Now she installed and working. I wonder if anyone else noticed this, or am I the only one using the mysqli extenstins.

You are absolutely right! This bug should be fixed in the next version of EasyMOD.

[evans17]

Ok was this documented somewhere?

I wondering if I just missed it.

[GPHemsley]

Well, hey, what do you know. You weren't absolutely right. It turns out that MySQLi support was written specifically for the phpBB-PHP5 package, which is separate and independent from phpBB.

Since that is the case, this may or may not be fixed in the next version of EasyMOD.

I hope phpbb2.2 will support php5 with mysqli in the next version natively and I dont have to use pbpbb-php5

It will... in fact, I believe it already does. Oh, and it's 3.0 now.
