Re: [Tiki-users] Upgrade Problem with failing installer.php - persistently losing contact to database

Dear Torsten,

I’m seeing some issues with the installer those last 3 or 4 days on Tiki24 from git. 
Version are really different (15.x ???) so I can’t say if this is related, but I posted a workaround to complete the installation manually and may be this can help you.

Really hope you get that fixed,
Bernard

PS: Man… we have to discuss about your travel in east Europe, I’m totally curious on what you’ve seen there. 🏆 🍻
