[TYPO3-linux] can't select database in install tool

[Marcus Raphelt]

Hi Darryl,

usually I do upgrades in a separate web space. If possible, you should
try to archive both sites (tar / mysqldump) and install them inside any
other webspace or, which I prefer, a local VM. This allows you to set
Typo3 and php as verbose as possible and examine all log files if
needed. After you've upgraded, you can then re-upload the site.
As far as the symlink warning is concerned - are you sure that your web
root looks like that?

index.php -> typo3_src/index.php
typo3 -> typo3_src/typo3
typo3_src -> typo3_src-x.x.x

Cheers,
Marcus

Also strange to be getting the symlink warning in the install tool when everything is as it should be with symlinks (and has been for the last 15 years or so).
