Whoa...  your database is all screwed up.  There's no member, online, or mailbox tables.

You could try to re-install the board on top of itself.  Just copy the install.php file back, and enter all the information again.  The installer shoud recreate any tables that aren't there.

If that doesn't work, you'll have to empty the tables with a database tool like phpMyAdmin, or just delete the database and start over.

If problems persist, I can install it for you with the required info.

Just installed the board as well and got the exact same errors.  Reinstalled it and got the same.

I don't get it.  Those kinds of errors occur when the tables either don't exist or aren't responding correctly.  Some tables exist and others don't.  Did you get any messages in the installer after you submit all the install information?

Do you have access to a database tool like phpMyAdmin?

I'm afraid I'm only available between 3am to 6am most nights, so this might not be working until the weekend.

Wax Poteto probably won't work, either, as it makes the databases the same way as Wacintaki.

Check your MySQL security permissions.  If you create a user specifically for your OP database, the default permissions may only allow you to create tables manually, rather than allowing the script to do it for you (some SQL commands may be disabled).

This shouldn't be too hard if your server has some admin software like CPanel.  Doing this directly in SQL is tricky.

Also, once the database issue is sort out, make sure the "URL to Oekaki Poteto" is correct.  When I tried to register, the e-mail I got pointed to the root of your website, rather than the /oekaki folder.  The installer tries to guess this URL, but sometimes it doesn't work because some Apache servers are kinda weird and don't give the required information to Wacintaki.

Got the same message and I've successfully installed several database driven programs in the past.  Checked phpmyadmin and it shows nothing was created, but the script shows that it ran the process.

Now I'm getting that @______________@;  Which I'm really confused ... the db user has all privileges, and I put down a valid mySQL db too.

Hi, hate to but in but I'm getting the same error as well. Although the dbuser is set with full rights, the oekaki is not building tables. I'm probably missing something simple but on the off chance do you have blank tables that I can maunally ad or a mock up of what they should look like? I hope I'm making sense. thanks for your time.

@PokéJungle:  Possibly.  I've heard CPanel automatically puts on extensions and can cause some confusion.  You don't really have to re-install the board.  Just change the value of $dbname in the dbconn.php file, if that's easier.  On my server, I have to put the CPanel prefix before both the database user and database name.

@Kapi:  I must admit I messed up the installer for 1.2.4, as it has one of the debug flags turned on.  Use this new installer.  I updated the archive on Sunday.  Sorry for the mix-up.

Wow! 

...that's all I had to do XD  Weird though; because when I added the prefix in the install.php, it wouldn't work 0o;

Thanks for all the help!  ^_______________________^

Oops. Please ignore the previous post. Turns out I forgot to assign the user to the DB.. ^^; Sorry..
