Installer does not create database

[moisseev]

After pressing install db only or install db and write cfg in Step 2: Database Settings
the installer does not create database or config file and shows blank window just with header:

Welcome to the web2Project Update Manager!
This system will help you perform ... then we'll load the system.

I have the issue with release 3.2 and later including master.

 # uname -mrs

The system does not create the database on its own. See Step 3 of the installation instructions: http://wiki.web2project.net/index.php?title=Installation (linked from the README)

Of course I have created a blank database before run the installer:

mysql> CREATE DATABASE web2project;
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON web2project.* TO web2project@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
mysql> flush privileges;
mysql> quit

Are you getting any messages in your PHP error logs?

Alternatively, can you turn on debug mode and share the error?

Change the zero to a one here:

I have set ini_set('display_errors', 1); in base.php
After 'Step 2: Database Settings' was completed I got this page:

No errors has been written into web-server log.

Mysql driver had switched to mysqli after 3.1 release. In later versions installer hangs with no error if mysql driver is used instead of mysqli.
