OK, ignore that last post. the cfg file was pretty self explanatory.
Still having the same problem, though. The permissions on the folders don't seem to make a difference. I've manually added zenphoto.cfg.php to /zp-core and I get the same string of errors.
When I look for zp-data/zenphoto.cfg.bak.php there isn't anything there. I guess these files are suppose to be auto-generated during setup?
But I think I should back up a step. I do have one other thing popping up when I try to run the install.
On the initial setup screen, I have the following:
(red and white circle)PHP MySQLi support [is not installed]
(red and white circle)PHP PDO_MySQL support [is not installed]
(red and white circle)PHP MySQL support [is not installed]
(red circle with an X)Database credentials in configuration file. (so it isn't reading my info)
Error! Database setup reported: No supported databases.
Setup doesn't allow me to chose which database engine to use. I've filed in the cfg file appropriately and was hoping it would populate. No dice.
PHP and MySQL were just added to our site. When I look in phpmyadmin everything looks just fine. I ran a php test file on our site and that works just fine.
