Subject: Installation: Default values not workingQuote this post in your reply
The installation script for 1.3.3 is truly great and intuitive. The only problem I saw (using Konqueror), was that when I didn't select radio button default values (intending to just go with the defaults), I got parsing errors in the config.inc.php file, as the corresponding define statements were left empty.

For example,line 48 looked like this:
define('EMAIL_NOTIFY', );

This landed me in an "install loop" where I was informed that ATutor had not been installed (though it had). Uncommenting the suggested lines 32 to 36 in include/vital.inc.php yielded "Unable to access db". The solution was to go back and redo the installation, making sure either yes or no was marked (or editing the config file directly).

Of course, these error messages are missing the actual problem, which seems to lie with undefined default values, and the situation can be quite confusing. Users could either be forced to make a choice, or the default mechanism made to work.
