Error: Can't select the database

Setup:
WinMe
PHP 4.3.5 RC2
MySQL 4.0.15
Apache_2.0.48

Yesterday I had downloaded last version of storyteller and tried to install it. I don't know why, but

- only 15 tables is always created by install script:

`esselbach_st_categories` , `esselbach_st_comments` , `esselbach_st_faq` , `esselbach_st_faqcat` , `esselbach_st_faqqueue` , `esselbach_st_links` , `esselbach_st_linkscat` , `esselbach_st_linksqueue` , `esselbach_st_pages` , `esselbach_st_stories` , `esselbach_st_storyqueue` , `esselbach_st_userqueue` , `esselbach_st_users` , `esselbach_st_version` , `esselbach_st_websites`

- config.php is always clear after install
- and after I trying to login as admin, I receive message "Error: Can't select the database"

What's wrong? Could you help me?

Ok, thank you once more.
I want to test your CMS locally with integration with vBulletin and after that run it on a Unix server.

You might need to comment out the flock lines at cadmin/mod_templates.php as well. This limitation is on Windows 9x/ME only.

Yes, that's fine for the freeware version:

1.6 freeware version = 15 tables
1.6 licensed version = 48 tables

Perhaps an issue with Windows ME. Windows ME has no file locking (flock) feature.

Please try the following:

Download the  cfix script and change:

    if (flock($file, 2)) {

                         fputs ($file, "<?php $estc = "$estc"; ?>");

             }

to:
        //if (flock($file, 2)) {

                               fputs ($file, "<?php $estc = "$estc"; ?>");

             //}

Then follow the instructions in  post #35
