error while installing

[Audiomad]

Hi trying to install the cms on my hosting account and I'm getting this error any ideas?
libs/Initialize.php on line 98 Sorry, I can't open cache/debug_logs/error_log.php

I set permission on the cache directory and I'm getting this error

Warning: Error establishing mySQL database connection. Correct user/password? Correct hostname? Database server running?

It's not happy with the database details you've entered in your hotaru_settings.php file:

// EDIT THE FOLLOWING ONLY

// Database details
define("DB_USER", 'root');          // Add your own database details 
define("DB_PASSWORD", '');
define("DB_NAME", 'hotaru');
define("DB_HOST", 'localhost');     // You probably won't need to change this

define("DB_PREFIX", 'hotaru_');     // Database prefix, e.g. "hotaru_"

The template engine is that MySQL? I've also got other errors I removed them from the last post, its to do with the cache, saying it error on libs line 277.

I'm not sure what you mean by "template engine". If you mean DB_ENGINE in hotaru_settings.php, just leave those ones as they are:

define("DB_LANG", 'en');            // Database language, e.g. "en"
define("DB_ENGINE", 'MyISAM');                    // Database Engine, e.g. "MyISAM"
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');                    // Database Character Set (UTF8 is Recommended), e.g. "utf8"
define("DB_COLLATE", 'utf8_unicode_ci');        // Database Collation (UTF8 is Recommended), e.g. "utf8_unicode_ci" 

I also don't know what you mean by "libs line 277". Which file in the libs folder? What's the error?

And just to be sure, your PHP version is at least 5.2.6, right?

That's a bad idea because then nobody else can help you. If it's sensitive data, just asterisk out server path stuff.

The error you are getting is because Hotaru can't find the settings table in the database. You say you are "trying to install the cms", but you haven't told us which step of installation you get the error on. Please provide as much information as you can, and then we can be more helpful. Thanks.
