phpMyFAQ

Hello,

I am trying install phpMyFAQ onto the ubuntu webserver with sqlite3 database, and got the "error: invalid server error" no matter what I change in the setup form.
My other php web applications are working fine with sqlite3 database on the same server. Please let me know what are fixes to get phpMyFAQ install and run.

Thank you!


Below is my system information.

root@srcweb:/src/www/faq# sqlite3 -version
3.7.3

Hi,

do you use the latest phpMyFAQ 2.7.9 version?

Yes.

The cause is from the following codes in setup.php file, but I don't know how to fix it.

// check database entries
$sql_type = PMF_Filter::filterInput(INPUT_POST, 'sql_type', FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
if (!is_null($sql_type)) {
$sql_type = trim($sql_type);
if (file_exists(PMF_ROOT_DIR . '/install/' . $sql_type . '.sql.php')) {
require PMF_ROOT_DIR . '/install/' . $sql_type . '.sql.php';
} else {
print '<p class="error"><strong>Error:</strong> Invalid server type.</p>';
HTMLFooter();
die();
}

Thanks,
