Fatal error: Call to a member function GetRow() on a non-object

[Peter Bradley]

When I run the installation for 1.3 I get the error message “Fatal error: Call to a member function GetRow() on a non-object in C:\wamp\www\KS\cmsmadesimple\lib\classes\class.contentoperations.inc.php on line 354”

My setup is Apache 2.2.28, PHP 5.2.6 and MySQL 5.0.51b. I see (from forum posts) that at least one other person has had the same problem, but with 1.2.4. Suggestions please.

Thanks.

354 is this:

$row = &$db->GetRow($query);

GetRow is a member of adodb, seems adodb is not loaded or no database connection.

I've used the same connection details successfully for several other cmsms installations without any problems. I've checked the details umpteen times and I can't see anything wrong with them. Surely there's a "proper" installation error message if it can't make a db connection using the details I've typed in.

I've tried it choosing MySQL for the db type and also MySQL (4.1+), but the result is the same - that error message.

Hello,

broken download ? broken explode of tar.gz ? broken copy to wamp location ? hence broken adodb install ?

or something with the database ? can you connect to it with another soft like phpmyadmin ?

also, check your httpd error log for warnings and notices.

Everything else that I'm running under WAMP (using the same db connection details) works fine. I tried to install 1.2.4 and got exactly the same error message, so it's obviously not a 1.3 issue.

Okay, I just started testing the installer and encountered this probllem.

It took a while to chase down, but for me, it only happened when
a) I had extra modules (other than core modules) installed in the modules folder
b) one of those modules tried to access the database in its constructor or in
    methods called from the constructor.

(Calendar was the first culprit I found, but I'm sure there are more).

My temporary workaround was to add a line that would tell the installer to only install system modules.

Here's the diff to install/lib/classes/CMSInstellerPage5.class.php
