Then hit the installation URL i.e : http://{{URL}}/{{TO}}/{{MANTIS-FOLDER}}/admin/install.php and hit install button However I do get the following error under 'Checking URL to installation' i.e : BAD What could be causing the issue ? . I checked under URL to your installation as well and the correct URL is shown. I have attached the error screenshot and config_inc.php file for your kind reference . Please check.

Try again without this step. Do not create config_inc.php. Just follow the steps described in the Admin Guide |

@dregad maybe we should remove |

Hello @atrol , Thanks for your kind reply.
Yes it does . Following are the contents : <?php $g_db_table_prefix = '{{DB_PREFIX}}'; $g_default_timezone = 'America/New_York'; $g_crypto_master_salt = '{{SALT}}'; $g_path = '{{URL}/{{TO}}/{{MANTIS2261}}/'; But want to use these details as well like $g_webmaster_email, $g_from_email, $g_return_path_email, $g_from_name, $g_window_title, $g_cookie_prefix and $g_default_language. |

prashantt, please start reading the Admin Guide. This is not a bug or feature request for MantisBT (you are asking for help on how to configure the system). I am therefore resolving this issue as "no change required". Please use the forums to get support on customizing and using MantisBT (refer to https://www.mantisbt.org/support.php for links and further details). |

Considering that the installer has been generating a minimal config_inc.php file, I agree that the sample file is somewhat redundant nowadays. I don't mind removing it, but if we do I think it it may be worth adding information about those basic configurations that are recommended to override. This could be done either in the config_inc.php file generated by the installer, and/or in the admin guide. And we also need remove the reference in Admin guide section 2.6 |
