[Typo3-install] Database problem. Turn on logging?

[Thomas Willert]

Hi!

The problem of the Install Tool not being able to write correctly to the 
  MySQL database seem to be caused by one or more of the PHP 
magic_quotes_ settings being set. After I set both 'magic_quotes_gpc' 
and 'magic_quotes_runtime' to 'Off' the problem went away.

Either in php.ini set 'magic_quotes_gpc = Off' and 'magic_quotes_runtime 
= Off', or if inside your Apache virtual host section for your Typo3 
virtual host add these two lines:

    php_admin_flag magic_quotes_gpc On
    php_admin_flag magic_quotes_runtime On

There might be other ways to accomplish this. Perhaps in 'localconf.php?

I don't know if this solved everything because now my left menu is 
missing all the icons, but I will described this in a seperate post.

Cheers!

Thomas Willert
