Question Fatal error after installation - WAMP

Hi.

I get the notice that the install was successful, then when I go to the Kunena control and there are several tables with information, and the message:

Fatal error: Unable to load messages.\nDB function failed with error number 1146
Table 'joomla_kitty.jos_fb_messages' doesn't exist SQL=SELECT * FROM jos_fb_messages WHERE parent = 0 AND hits > 0 ORDER BY hits DESC LIMIT 5
SQL =

SELECT * FROM jos_fb_messages WHERE parent = 0 AND hits > 0 ORDER BY hits DESC LIMIT 5

in C:\wamp\www\joomla1\components\com_kunena\lib\kunena.debug.php on line 37

(Using WAMP on XP for development)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do you know what version of php and mysql that WAMP is using?

PHP is 5.2.6 and MySQL is 5.0.51b

I don't know if it has any relevance but I had to install/uninstall Kunena prior to this install due to timeout errors (I had to increase the max_execution_time in php.ini).

It sounds like the install might have timed out in the middle of creating the tables. If you have access to phpamdmin, you should drop all jos_fb_xxxxx tables and do a fresh install. The can only happen on a brand new install.
Unfortunately the installer is rather slow for a file of 1MB and will not finish in 30 sec on many platforms.

Make sure you have the timeout set to at least 60-120 sec.

Hope this helps!

That fixed it - it's up and running now, thank you very much fxstein

I did get one install error though - "Creating version table" - is that anything to be worried about?

Hi,

I have just had something similar, but it is not timeout.
When clicking on the Recent Discussions tab, I get a page without formatting, no joomla content, only Kunena. Looking at the source, it is not a complete page with header, css etc., only Kunena html in it. And at the end this same SQL error message.

What is interesting: my tablename prefix is not 'jos' but 'fm', still in the error message it says it is not able to find this xxx.jos_xxx table.
