Hi all,

Apologies if I'm posting in the wrong forum, but I'm having an issue getting through Step 2, Database Configuration. I've created the database and corresponding user with correct rights, entered said database name, username and password into the Basic Options section, click Save and Continue and always get this error.....

Fatal error: Call to undefined function validate_mysql_connection() in C:\xampp\htdocs\kalturaCE\install\general_info.php on line 12

Can anyone recommend what to do? I'm stuck.

Best,
Chris

Hi I am also running into this issue as well. I can confirm that I can connect to the db I created and confirm that the user has been granted the correct privledges. Did you find out an answer?

This worked for me and i was able to move past the error message.

In the file kalturaCE/install/general_info.php, I had to move the validate_mysql_connection() function declaration to right before I make the actual call to the function.

false hope.....

moving the validate declaration did not work after all. It only allowed me to move to the next page in the setup..
