Whoops, looks like something went wrong.
  • Hello.
    I can't install Newscoop and to be honest I have no idea what this error message means. I need help.


    Whoops, looks like something went wrong.

    Hey, 

    just run this sql query (in phpmyadmin)

    DELETE FROM `SystemPreferences` WHERE `varname` = "installation_id"

    and finish installation. 
  • Hello Pawel, I have the same issue but the sql query does not work (Ive used the entry values appearing on my error 'news-NULL' for key 'PRIMARY')

    PDOException: SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1062 Duplicate entry 'news-NULL' for key 'PRIMARY'

    and

    DBALException: An
    exception occurred while executing 'INSERT INTO `ArticleTypeMetadata`
    (`type_name`, `field_name`, `field_weight`, `is_hidden`,
    `comments_enabled`, `fk_phrase_id`, `field_type`, `field_type_param`,
    `is_content_field`, `max_size`, `show_in_editor`) VALUES ('news',
    'NULL', NULL, 0, 1, NULL, NULL, NULL, 0, NULL, 1),('news', 'lead', 1, 0,
    0, NULL, 'text', NULL, 0, 160, 0),('news', 'content', 2, 0, 0, NULL,
    'body', 'editor_size=500', 1, NULL, 0);':

    Any help would be appreciated.
  • Hi, Armando Nava, I have the same problem. Could you tell me, how  had you fix yours one? It would be wery helpful! (Sorry for my bad english)
  • I have the same errors, people all ask the same question of how to fix, yet no answers. Shouldn't a script be a lot easier to run than this? I have run into problems with each step. 
  • The work around for this particular error was to install the core.sql file manually. Then run the install script.
