"Creating page table... FAILED: Already exists?"

Warning: mysql_query(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /setup/inc/functions.inc.php on line 111

Adding/Updating default page HomePage... FAILED

With 1.1.6.3, no problem

(In [548]) closes #510.

$dblink and $config parameters were forgotten in one call to update_default_page(). Problem should have occured only when upgrading from version prior (or equal) to 1.1.5.3

problem not solved, but issued figured out by Nils at  http://de2.php.net/function.session-start.

The problem is session data getting lost when redirecting to another page. The workaround is to write those session data (session_write_close(), which is available since PHP4.0.3, thus, no problem with our requirements) before any call to Header('Location: ...');

Thanks Nils :)

The bug is due to register_global = "on" Local variable $config and $_SESSIONconfig? are in conflict. Maybe change $config variable name in setup/index.php

[DotMG]

(In [570]) Conflict variable names when register_globals is On.

Renamed _POSTconfig? to _POSTpconfig?, _SESSIONconfig? to _SESSIONsconfig?.

fixes #510

(In [572]) Forgotten to change name="config" to name="pconfig" in setup/inc/functions.inc.php refs #510

Doesn't appear to be a problem in 1.2 branch. Marking as ported/resolved.
