I recently bought NewsCenter and I have not been able to get it to work yet.
I started off trying to install it on top of my Drupal but soon understood that was the wrong thing to do.
So I am installing it now off of an empty site. I have provisioned the database.
If I do an install of the latest version of Drupal, everything works right away with no problems.
I then whipe db and drupal off the machine and start the news center install.
I go through the install, input db information, the last page asks for username and password
and that one takes a while to complete but eventually does
I have tried some of the fixes I found such as
ini_set('max_execution_time', 560);
ini_set('max_input_time', 60);
ini_set('memory_limit', '256M');
but nothing helps.
I can re-install current drupal with no issues, over and over again
but I cannot get the newscenter version to install.
(and yes I whipe the db everytime I try to reinstall)
I am hosting this on dreamhost.com where I have other drupal sites running as well.
Error
The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later.
Uncaught exception thrown in session handler.
PDOException: SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'newsnormalizerdrupaldb.sessions' doesn't exist: SELECT 1 AS expression FROM {sessions} sessions WHERE ( (sid = :db_condition_placeholder_0) AND (ssid = :db_condition_placeholder_1) ) FOR UPDATE; Array ( [:db_condition_placeholder_0] => BJ-kyCW0x2bKrSGBkjJ0LXEsnWvrhOAgjzfnt1ija6o [:db_condition_placeholder_1] => ) in _drupal_session_write() (line 209 of /home/newsnormalizeruser/newsnormalizer.com/includes/session.inc ).
Is there a way to manually populate the database?
What else should I try?
hello!
in some cases the execution(basically extraction of the database) is not complete and the php times out:-
The most important step. Increase PHP.ini timeouts: For doing it, look for the php.ini file that rules your server. Once there, "search" for line where "max_execution_time" variable appears. 900 would be a better value.
max_execution_time = 900
But since you have tried to change it:-
a lot of times simply uninstalling and trying again can fix bugs like this. It's possible that there was something wrong with the installation of maybe you gave it some incorrect information.
here is one of Jorge's solution
Please Reply If it still does not work
Thanks!

Hi there,
I have attempted to uninstall and reinstalled newscenter drupal many times over 3 days.
It still does not work.
As stated above I have already set the max_execution_time, memory_limit and it has not helped.
I am disappointed with the support offered.
I managed to fix this, by installing news center on a local pc, grabbing the database
manually exporting it and then manually importing it at the production site.

hello!

thanks!
I recently purchased the Newscenter theme. After many, many attempts and hours following the install process as documented, I'm unable to successfully install.
After finally getting past the initial errors by applying the various workarounds discovered by others here, I'm now getting database errors during the config step.
Example:
Table variable already exists.
Please assist.
Hi Brian:
As you have tried installing a few times, maybe your database already has some previous tables for the initial attempt.
Do this:
1 - Using phpMyAdmin, clean up the database tables. Leave it without any table.
2 - Susing the same phpMyAdmin, restore the SQL file located in /profiles/newscenter/newscenter.sql in the same newscenter installation.
Let us know.
I bought cardealer theme three days ago hoping that my site will be up and running in a matter of minutes, the support appears like it does not exist. This is not expected for a paid theme.
The installation always stops at level six and then generate the following error "PDOException: SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'example.semaphore' doesn't exist: SELECT expire, value FROM {semaphore} WHERE name = :name; Array ( [:name] => variable_init ) in lock_may_be_available() (line 167 of /home/example/public_html/cardealer/includes/lock.inc). ".
I followed the hints in the forum but nothing works. Now I set my server max_execution_time = 20000
memory_limit = 384MB. The new error I get when it fails is error 500 accompanied by "PDOException: SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'example.users' doesn't exist: SELECT u.*, s.* FROM {users} u INNER JOIN {sessions} s ON u.uid = s.uid WHERE s.sid = :sid; Array ( [:sid] => aIrdqZEsPxy-wp7yY8d-3Dw5bTKLYLIcGi_wyzl56lQ ) in _drupal_session_read() (line 102 of /home/example/public_html/cardealer/includes/session.inc)." I get the same error results from two different servers (Linux and Ubuntu).
Please help to fix this problem
Hi Omakoni:
I have just replied your mail. Sorry for the late response but we ussually provide support from Monday to Friday in the morning.
Using PHPMYADMIN: Clean the database of tables, leave it with no table and then restore the file /profiles/cardealer/cardealer.sql
It will load the exact same database you would deploy using the installation profile.
Let us know.
