Hi,
Just installed php4dvd latest version and cannot get it to work. I cannot find why because no information can be found anywhere on why php4dvd is not working. I'm using Desktop: Cinnamon 5.6.8 tk: GTK 3.24.33 wm: muffin dm: LightDM Distro: Linux Mint 21.1 Vera base: Ubuntu 22.04 jammy and MYSQL 8.1 with PHP 8.2.7 .

The problem: After logging in The first page is blank with a swirling circle.
php4dvd1

Then I try to add a movie and do get results.
php4dvd2

When I try to save the movie I get localhost is currently unable to handle this request.
php4dvd3

I believe I have all the requirements required to run the program. I even may sure the mysql PDO driver is working. Have I missed something during the installation? One install requirement was not clear to me which is, Create a database for php4dvd on your web server, as well as a MySQL (or MariaDB) user who has all privileges for accessing and modifying it. I'm using root as the user. Do I need to use a different username?

Can anyone help with troubleshooting suggestions/steps so I can get php4dvd working. With these suggestion then one can add them as a a help file for troubleshooting tips as part of the distribution.

Thanks

php4dvd don't support PHP 8.2 at this time, so could be simple as that. Try PHP 8.0 or 8.1.

root have access to all databases, you can use it in development, but should not be used in production.
