Problem during install

[pureskills]

I am at the step of the install where you put the database info.  After I put in the info I get the following error Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/medtra/discountmobilityusa.com/html/installation/includes/elxisinstaller.php on line 831

Just incase becuase I have been at this a couple of hours I tried installing it to a database on another server.  I get this error
ErrorAt least one fatal error occured during the previous step. You cannot continue. Please go back and correct the database settings. The Elxis installer error messages follows:

  • Could not connect to the database.

Hi pureskills,

and welcome. Can you provide some environment data (MySQL version, PHP version)

EDIT: Have you created DB with utf8_general_ci collation prior to install?
