Cannot write to database

Recommended Posts

Using a fresh install of 2.2.2, I am able to visit the admin area, and see the default 'sample'values... but I cannot change those values. When I try, the page refreshes with the just-changed formfield now in a blank state. Seems that my update of the db is only partially successful... I can get to the db, remove the old data, but not add data.

 

I have searched both here and in the install forum, and have not found this issue discussed... does that mean I win a prize? ;-)

 

Anyhow.. if there are any clues, I would sure like to hear about them!

Well, here's a clue: set up the admin config.php file correctly. had my buddy Richard at GoliveHost take a look at things (I suspected permissions on the server) and he found that I had done 'url' rather than 'filepath' a few times. My bad.

 

Leads to a question, tho: why does the installer take care of the /catalog/ config.php file, but not the /catalog/admin/ config.php file?

Hi, I'm having the exact same problem here. I did a fresh install, and when I try to update any values from the admin panel, I just get blanks where the new values should be.

 

I looked at the reply but didn't understand it fully. Can somebody give more specific guidance on what settings to change to get the values to save to the database? Thanks so much!
