trying to understand... / #3960

Am I right that you have actually two problems?

1. upgrading from v0.0702
2. Fresh installation of v.079x

Please let us not intermix these problems. Both things should work and and should be fixed separately.

Some questions:

1. Why and how exactly does the fresh installation fail?
2. Why do you create the admin manually?
3. What's the precise problem when upgrading from v0.0702?

Please provide an e-mail address so I can create an account for you. Then please upload you php.ini, phpInfo() and my.ini (sql-setting) files to this task.

Thanks for your help. And sorry if things are not working for you.
