  • Hello Dani and Eric,

    also I have had a lot of problems with installing Newscoop. I was running into the same problem like you.

    It's strongly recommend to set the user to 'newscoop_user' and the password to 'newscoop_user_password' like suggested in the tutorial. And do not create a new database with a different name.  During installation Newscoop will create a database named 'newscoop'. Take this database. There you have to change nothing.

    Only with this steps I was finally successful to install Newscoop.

    For your information : I installed Newscoop via terminal on Ubuntu.

    But the next problem will come soon. If you try to delete an article.
    The solution for this you can find here :

    And it works !

    Best regards and good luck.

    Peter

  • Hello Peter, I put the user and pass you tell me but I´m only get a blank page. I´m trying to install via web on my hosting. I copied all the files and run the install typing www.mydomain.com/newscoop. Is this correct, isn´t it?? I don´t touch the apache configuration due to I don´t have permission to it. 

    Sorry for my English.

  • Can anyone help me?
  • Hello Dani,

    I'm also new to Newscoop and sure not a specialist. I also tried first to install Newscoop on a shared server and was not very successful.
    Then I got a dedicated server from my web-host provider and finally I managed it.

    To get a good result you've to made some settings in Apache for  a perfect Newscoop installation I think.

    But read this. Maybe it will be helpful for you :
