Hello,

after trying to install Mahara I get the following error:

I use PHP 7.1.26

Any idea what's going wrong?

Hi Peter,

Hmm it sounds like you database is not empty for the install.

This error normally arises when doing an upgrade and the 'multirecipientnotification' plugin is not active.

A thing you can check in database:

SELECT * FROM config;

If that returns rows then there are (at least) some tables already installed so you will need to clear the database fully to do install.

If you are tying to upgrade then do:

SELECT * FROM module_installed WHERE name = 'multirecipientnotification';

If the 'active' column is '0' then run:

UPDATE module_installed SET active = 1 WHERE name = 'multirecipientnotification';

Cheers

Hi Robert,

I'm noz upgrading Mahara in this case. What Iwanted was installing a complete new version of Mahara. Everything seems ok but the install always fails saying " core update failed".

This is the error protocol I get:

What can I do?

Cheers

Hi Peter

Is the error from your first post the error you get when the install fails?

Hello,

Did you find how to get past this error? I'm getting the same thing from a clean install. It should be straightforward, but is failing for some reason.

I'm installing 19.04.0 on MySQL8. I'm thinking I'll try MySQL5.6 instead.

thanks,

Simon

Hi Simon,

Yours might be a separate issue to Peter's. The version of Mahara you're installing is different. Are you getting the same 'multirecipient notification' error?

If not, please post a new topic and include the errors you are getting. Which version of mysql8 do you have? We have some issues with 8.0.17, so if that's the version you have, using 5.6 could resolve it, but the error message you are getting would indicate if that's the issue or not.

Thanks,

Rebecca
