    Howdy people. Having a bit of a problem, and I’m not exactly sure why. I’ve been having problems with Events Manager not finding tables for bookings, but I’m discovering now that it also includes any other plugin that tries to install a table on phpmyadmin, the installation of the plugin goes smoothly, but when i try to create bookings or events, there is a DATABASE ERROR: the prompted tables do not exist, and going into phpmyAdmin I can see the same thing. Only possible thing i can think of to prompt this is a problem with the sql version, I’m getting these messages on the mainpage for phpmyadmin:

    The additional features for working with linked tables have been deactivated. To find out why click here.
    Your PHP MySQL library version 5.0.90 differs from your MySQL server version 5.1.54. This may cause unpredictable behavior.

    Could this be the problem? Is this were I should be looking. Would very much appreciate some help, am putting things up on a bit of a deadline.

  • i think you should resolve the db issues with your host and then see if EM still doesn’t work. If not then it’s probably an upgrade or installation issue, where the tables weren’t created.

    Marcus, first, thank you for all your help. I so appreciate it, and can’t help but feel that I’m not entirely sure what the problem is yet. how do I resolve the db issues with my host? I’ve contacted the server host now to try to see if they can help me. I’ve looked at permissions, tried installing other plug-ins, but from what I can gather, the tables just aren’t being written. This said in my half-state of ignorance.

    Cheers, d

    you should forward your comments about your phpmyadmin to the hosts

    did other plugins add tables correctly?

    thanks marcus, just did that, it seems that not all permissions were enabled, since tables weren’t being created at all. So (sigh) finally, em is up and running. Many thanks for all the help.
