Hi,
I have installed 1.3.8 three times and it creates tables adding the password as prefix, i.e.
address_book is created as passwordaddress_book
tried three times... exactly the same problem
Any quick hack here?
Sensei
what are you entering for a prefix?
Zen Follower
Nothing as a prefix. If I enter a prefix, it works. I tried to debug it by checking the value of getConfigKey('DB_PREFIX') in the function dbLoadProcedure (installer.php):
echo 'prefix'.$this->getConfigKey('DB_PREFIX');
Even if there is no prefix entered, it returns the entered password value
Sensei
Puzzling. I've never seen that happen.
I would suspect file corruption but would expect different symptoms if files were bad.
What version of PHP?
What hosting platform?
Zen Follower
php 4.4.2, freeBSD
I have installed over 50 1.3.7 carts and never had this before.
Sensei
Agreed - definitely bizarre. I've never seen it before either.
I can only guess that somehow the GPC data is getting mangled by PHP once it gets into memory.
Sensei
Are Register Globals on by any chance?
Zen Follower
yes, Register Globals On
Sensei
Can you turn them off and try again?
Zen Follower
ok, give me some time as I will have to reinstall it on another subdomain, because, I have already installed this one with a prefix (the only way I could get rid of the password as a prefix):lookaroun

tried to reinstall it with Register Globals Off - exactly the same problem. Note that I have Globals On for all the zen sites all the time and never had such a problem with 1.3.7
Somehow, ConfigKey('DB_PREFIX') is equal to the password field. I tried digging into a code thinking that it has a simple typo error somewhere mixing up the fields, but could not find any

Same here.
Most bizarre.
