    What is the password and database name,i get to that stage and am stuck.
    • Himani Gupta
      Hello Joel,
      The database and password name should be your MySQL credential.
      I would like to request you to share the screenshot at support@uvdesk.com where you’re stuck so that we can provide you the solution accordingly.
      Kind Respects

    Hi

    Is there a way to bypass the PHP mailparse extension requirement? I want to host the solution on a shared platform and unable to enable the exertion.

    • Himani Gupta
      Hello Donald,
      Nice day to you!!
      Since PHP mailparse extension required for parsing email message in order to create a ticket. To do so, you have to enable this extension with the help of your server provider.
      For further help or any assistance you may reach out to us at support@uvdesk.com
      Thanks & Regards

    I face the same issue as Joel with the webinstaller. I made some mods to debug, since I am not so familiar with symfony. It looks like, that the db connection can not be made, even the db and the user is created correctly in PLESK. Plesk uses mariaDB, but this shouldnt be the problem. I have seen, the driver is set fix to: pdo_mysql , Is there maybe the issue ? I also have followed the suggestions to use simple pw w/o any special chars. But it still throws error from: ConfigureHelpdesk.php and return around line 122 (the catch block)

    For me also still not clear, why it throws the error. Is there a bug in the webinstaller procedure ?

    BTW: to install mailparse is also a bit tricky. almost all tuts just showed to install, and restart apache & php . This did not solved it completley. I also added in php.ini the extension ! All w/o success. After server reboot it was working then, but not before ! Strange things.

    Hope there are not much more hidden bugs. I have some doubts to use it, when the install procedure stucks directly.

      Hello Marquez,

      Hope this solution will help you to get started with UVdesk community helpdesk – https://github.com/uvdesk/community-skeleton/issues/290
      Also, make sure you are not using special characters in the database password such as #,&,$
      If still the same issue exists then email us complete details at support@uvdesk.com
      Thank You!!
