After i create the db and user and i add user in db...
I check in cpanel and i see them there... then i add them in elxis installation...hould i add it WITH the SOMETHING_db? or like db???

[babis1]

I am also having this problem, but the username and password I am using are both correct. If I create the database manually before trying the installation, I get a PHP error: Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /path_to_elxis/installation/install2.php on line 94. If I don't create the database before installing, it tells me the username and password are wrong. But they are not. I've tried it on MySQL 4.0.12 and 4.1.22-standard, on both Windows/Apache and Linux/Apache.

You have old version of MySQL.

[Ivan Trebješanin]

Could be your server setting. You can try this:

Create DB before installation, go to your phpMyAdmin and see how is your DB called (Probably: username_dbname)
Enter exact DB name into your elxis installation.

Tell me what happened.

Thanks - I know the db settings are correct (I have installed literally hundreds of copies of mambo and joomla over the last few years), so I guess Elxis demands a newer version of mySQL. I use old versions for development so that I know my users can run my code even with old versions. Still 4.1.22 is not that old! Can you tell me what the minimum requirement is for the mySQL version?

MySQL should be 4.1 or greater (not the client but the database itself!).

Notice that even if you manage to install elxis your server environment is not ideal for Elxis CMS.

I said I tried it on MySQL 4.1.22 - which is greater than 4.1. I read that topic you link to, but I don't see your point - I haven't told you what my server environment is, only that I tried on both Windows and Linux with Apache. I don't have safe mode on if that's what you were thinking of.

Read what I wrote about commenting certain lines of code. I am sure that you have an old version of MySQL (MySQL is consisted by the server and the client, each one may have different version).
Even if you comment the lines I write you will stuck exactly afterwards because of the old version. You can comment again the next lines and finally install elxis but your server environment  won't be good for Elxis.

Please post the full name of your database.
I have see problems that was caused from the DB name.

Also do the following as Datahell say:
