  Dictionary driver '/www/includes/classes/adodb/datadict/datadict-.inc.php' not available
  
  Fatal error: Call to a member function ServerInfo() on a non-object in /www/includes/pnobjlib/DBUtil.class.php on line 2930
  
  I keep getting this when I try a fresh install. It's just after I select the basic installation, and after I get this, if I try to go back through the install it fails on the database info screen saying to verify database information. I'm almost certain it has something to do with my server setup, since I get it on everything since RC1... Any ideas?

  I'm getting this too, exact same error. Immediately after successful permissions check on installation. This is a new server, wiped clean and Ubuntu 8.04 LTS installed. Everything I've installed so far seems to be functional, including horde, phpMyAdmin, mailman, etc. This is the first zikula/postnuke installation I've tried though.

  Somehow I got it to work. The only thing I think I did different was select innodb instead of MyISAM.

  often this issues is based on problems with connecting to the database - double check the DB-setup and especially the DB-permissions.

  Yes, that was one of the things I looked at but didn't need to change. Obviously there's a variable somewhere that determines the name of the file to be loaded, and it's not being set since there isn't anything following the "-" in the file name. So I check all the files and permissions to see that they could be read by apache. All was OK.
  
  And I think the database type is set by dropdown rather than typing. So I might have used incorrect capitalization here in typing MyISAM, but I don't think that would have been possible in the actual installer.
  
  It is mysterious. I am transferring a *bunch* of postnuke installations to this server, some will be upgraded to Zikula and some not for a while. I'll report any other problems.

  Dictionary driver error relates to your database connection incorrect username, password, database name etc.
  
  Check for a typo errors and in particular the correct database name typed. Some database names require the username_databasename rather than just databasename.
