Bug #80115

Updated by Andreas Wolf about 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.
