Any idea what is causing this now? Demo software - Error creating user account on the main page so I can look around at the software and test it as a user. Looks like your SQL tables might have an error of some sort. You should have a Demo section for all the Demo users asking questions.

Invalid query
INSERT INTO dating_accounts (id, username, `password`, city, county, country, zip, childrens, mail, nickname, onecouple, approved, createdate, newsletter, favorites_ids, favorites_req_ids) Values('287446', 'Jocco', 'password', 'Middleboro', '4190', '239', '02346', '0', 'jocco@jocco.com', 'Jocco', '1', 0, Now(), 1,'','')
MySQL error: Field 'who_visited' doesn't have a default value

I have passed this to the developer team to check.

Perhaps they could write a short guide to a manual install that would help with some basic steps, since the automated one doesn't work for the Demo. I would almost prefer to do a manual install.

1, Create MySql database and user (name and user permissions?)
2, import .sql files in the following order (which files?)
3, set up apache and php properly (what config is required in these?)
4, create directory for g-dating and put files in it (which files?)
5, test this stuff to ensure its working properly (what stuff would we check?)

This is an example obviously, but it would be very helpful to see a manual install. I read all of the documentation I could get on the software from your site but its not very deep. I would like to see this software work properly...

Automatic instal should work, but yes, could be fail on a different settings like usually most of the shared servers are prepared.

In the DOCS folder should be an installer manual, where it was a manual install detailed, should that help.

THERE IS NO MANUAL INSTALL IN YOUR DOCUMENTATION.

I took the time to write a post telling you what I need, you could at least look at your own documetation and read it so you know whats in there(and what's not). The documents are very BASIC, I need a manual install procedure as I listed above, so I can install and test it.

Your software may be low priced, but if this is the way its going to be trying to get help for it just to get a DEMO up and running then its not worth it.

Please check again page 8 at GDating Installation Manual. There is what need to create manually, the database, user and pass for the database, the folders to make it 777. I will copy from the manual. Better anyway to see the PDF, because of the formatting.

MANUAL CONFIGURATOR It is highly important to make write able (chmod 777) the confi g.inc.php file and the image folder
(and all subfolders in it) on your server. The installer wizard will alert you over the next steps if permissions were not correctly granted.
Changing permissions is usually a snap with all FTP clients (WS_FTP, CuteFTP, etc.) and major File Managers included with Control Panels like CPanel. If you are using WindowsXP and/or Macromedia's Dreamweaver you don't need to have any additional clients. Usually you just have
to right click on the file or folder and choose that option. If you need further assistance login to our Trouble Ticket system and we will try to help you out (Don't forget to include core information such as the names of the FTP client you're using and ftp info of your server.
CREATE MYSQL DATABASE Create now one MySQL database on your server. The name you choose for the database as well
as the username and password for it will be used to complete the configuration of the next file. This may be done very easily in Cpanel or PLESK or on any other Control Panel system, provided by your hosting company. If you are not sure about how to do this, ask your hosting
company. Open the config.inc.php on your server, edit it and save it. If you cannot edit files online, edit it on
your local machine and then upload it. DEFINE URL AND PATH
Fill this only if not generated automatically from this wizard:
define(INDEX_URL, "http://www.yourdomain.com/"); define(INDEX_PATH, ""); // NOT TO INCLUDE ANYTHING HERE.
ASSIGN DATABASE AUTHENTICATION DATA Enter here your DATABASE CONNECTION info:
define(DB_USR, ""); //database username define(DB_PWD, ""); //database password define(DB_NAME, ""); //database name
define(DB_HOST, "localhost"); //database host, usually localhost, but in some cases is not

ACCESS RIGHTS ON DIRECTORIES The INSTALLATION WIZARD checks whether certain key directories have the proper access
rights granted. The following directories should have 0777 rights: • images/publ_images/ • tmp/

Please check your config.inc.php. If everything seems OK there, please ask your server administrator about your server configuration. On many shared hosting, define(DB_HOST,
"localhost"); is not LOCALHOST but a domain name that could look something like db5.domain.com.
