Bug #80115
Updated by Andreas Wolf over 7 years ago
*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.
