Comments.Text: OK, not used that. The error messages indicate that at least some DB tables appear to be missing. I'm wondering if the install process has worked properly. Can you see all of your database tables using something like phpmyadmin?

Comments.Text: @Graham No, it looks like the Civi tables are not being written during the install process, something is stopping it. I assume this is when they should be created, right. During the install process, just not sure what is stopping them from being created I guess. Maybe once I get that figured out they would install and the installation process would move forward.
