Zenphoto Error

MySQL Query ( SELECT * FROM ``zp_albums` ) Failed. Error:Table 'db251161969.zp_albums' doesn't exist
It looks like your zenphoto tables haven't been created.You may need to run the setup script.

by advance, thank you

We have had one other report of a problem like this. In that case it was a problem with zenphoto trying to set the colating sequence on the Database. Unfortunately that person has not been active so we do not yet know what the problem is. You can run setup.php?debug to get output of the database actions setup has tried. Also you can try the nightly build where setup will display error messages if it fails to create a databasse table.

in fact, i have taking mysql5 option and its ok zenphoto run. but i hope than my database choice don't create other problems.
for this moment no problems
thank for you reply,

What option did you change to make this work? I am sure others will want to know.

Hey guys,

I got the same Problem at 1&1 and my only idea to solve it was to change database from mysql 4.xx to mysgl 5.0 as well. Now it works.

regards
Jacques

What version of MySQL did you have originally? That syntax is supposed to be in MySQL 3.23. I don't have any versions prior to 5, so I cannot check. Maybe the folks having this problem can list their MySQL versions. Then we can put a check in on the version.

According to 1&1 Control-Center it is version 4.0 -- but I´m not sure, if one should believe that

Thanks for the info. Seems at least two people report the problem on 4.0, so I am guessing that the documentation lied. We will change the code to only use this syntax when MySQL is version 5 or greater.

Users with version < 5 will have to set their collating sequence manually if they care.

Hi,

I'm having this same problem -- same error message as outlined in the first post, I have 1&1, and my assumption is that my mySQL is 4.0, but quite frankly I have no idea because I'm not super tech-savvy. Thus, I don't exactly understand what it means to set a collating sequence manually. Can someone please give me steps on how to do this?

use the nightly build.
