Description
Situation
- LocalConfiguration.php contains (incomplete) database credentials: some missing information (e.g. password) and there is no database with the configured name
- Install Tool is invoked and asks for DB credentials
- no matter what credentials are entered, an error is shown; basically, the user is deadlocked at that point w/o manual intervention in the config file
Observed behaviour
- after entering (correct) credentials, an error "Database connect not successful – Connecting to the database with given settings failed. Please check." is shown
Expected behaviour
- Proceeding to the next step where the database can be chosen or created
How to reproduce
- Take an existing, configured installation
- Open LocalConfiguration.php, delete the "password" entry of the default DB connection there and change the database name to something that does not exist
- Open the install tool. It should ask for database credentials.

Could you provide some more information on how you end up with a broken LocalConfiguration.php?
Is it created during some automatic setup process and then you manually perform an Initial installation on the site?
Updated by Thomas Hohn over 7 years ago
One of the "problems" is that the installation is not considered as an initial installation since it's more an upgrade instead of an initial installation
