    Here is the error from MySQL:

    Code:
    |     24 |    NULL | 2012-07-18 14:33:37 | /account/services/admin/          | 184.162.42.151 |                                                              | Failed loading Admin(2)                                                                                                                                                            | Exception Am_Exception_Db_NotFound

    Zend_Controller_Front->dispatch [ library/Am/App.php : 1518 ]
    Am_App->run [ index.php : 43 ]
                                        
    We have two installs. One from a few months ago, which works fine and this new one from today. If I switch the new installation config.php to point to the older database, the new install works fine with the older database.

    Presumably the install is not going quite right and something is missing. We've tried several times, in different locations, using different MySQL tables, changing the prefix name, and we triple checked we have the latest version of aMember pro, and have installed it clean on each run. The same error keeps appearing.

    A bit strange since we have managed to install it correctly recently.

    Any thoughts of things I can test?

    Arg. Spent 2 hours trying to solve it. Finally gave in and posted here. Then a thought struck me, and poof, solved the problem. Wrong permissions on the data folder.

    Resolved.
