After much time spent yesterday trying to figure out why this template wouldn’t connect to SQL (after having it working for a week) – it appears an install of the latest XAMPP 1.7.4 was causing the problem.

XAMPP 1.7.4 completely broke the template resulting in screens and screens of Strict Standards errors. Upon a fresh install of the JA Events and hitting step 4 in the installation I was then met with:

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘TYPE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=9’ at line 29 SQL=CREATE TABLE `jos_banner` ( `bid` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `cid` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT ‘0’, `type` varchar(30) NOT NULL DEFAULT ‘banner’, `name` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT ”, `alias` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT ”, `imptotal` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT ‘0’, `impmade` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT ‘0’, `clicks` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT ‘0’, `imageurl` varchar(100) NOT NULL DEFAULT ”, `clickurl` varchar(200) NOT NULL DEFAULT ”, `date` datetime DEFAULT NULL, `showBanner` tinyint(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT ‘0’, `checked_out` tinyint(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT ‘0’, `checked_out_time` datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT ‘0000-00-00 00:00:00’, `editor` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL, `custombannercode` text, `catid` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT ‘0’, `description` text NOT NULL, `sticky` tinyint(1) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT ‘0’, `ordering` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT ‘0’, `publish_up` datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT ‘0000-00-00 00:00:00’, `publish_down` datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT ‘0000-00-00 00:00:00’, `tags` text NOT NULL, `params` text NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`bid`), KEY `viewbanner` (`showBanner`), KEY `idx_banner_catid` (`catid`) ) TYPE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=9

Rolling back to XAMPP 1.6.7 solved all installation / SQL connection errors.

I searched everywhere for an answer and could not find a solution anywhere. I hope this post can help someone in the future.

Please use an earlier version of MySql. There have been some big changes with MySQL 5.5.8 and at the current time the template does not support it.
