I've encountered what I assume is a small bug whilst installing Gossamer Forum 1.2.3.
I have MySQL 4.1 installed and was trying to install Gossamer Forum 1.2.3.
When I entered my SQL server details and hit submit I was returned to the same page with the message:
Please fix the error below and try again:
No error message was displayed.
I started hunting down the cause and arrived at the connect() method in GT::SQL::Driver. A call to DBI->connect() is eval'd and either dies with $DBI::errstr or returns true. The next line:
...fails to write the error message to the log file and appears to fail to set $GT::SQL::error and so the error message is not displayed to the user.
I was playing about with a few ideas and decided to try and print a few warnings to the log. I put:
$self->warn(CANTCONNECT => "Ye devil!");
...ABOVE the eval() and low and behold, the error message I'd been looking for appeared!...which was:
...which incidentally seems to be related to DBI not supporting the MySQL 4.1 libraries.

Anyhow, it looks like perhaps it is something to do with GT::Base, but I've now lost the will to live so I'll let a staff member hunt down the cause - hehe!
