Error after installing phpbb3

Hello

I'm trying to get phpbb3 to work on my PC.
I'm using wamp for this.
The installation worked out well but I can't get on the forum.
When entering I get the following error.

Code: Select all

General Error
SQL ERROR [ sqlite ]
SQL logic error or missing database [1]
An sql error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact an administrator if this problem persists.
It seems something is wrong with the connection to my database.
As a test to see if wamp is working I also installed phpbb2.
This didn't cause any problems.

I'm trying to install the forum on my PC so I can do tests with mods before I will use them on the live forum.
Can anybody help me with this issue?

It mentions missing database... I just want to make sure that the database component is turned on in WAMP? I haven't used WAMP myself, but many of the home servers allow you to turn on and off the database, PHP, etc.

I did start all services and phpbb2 works fine with it.
To me it looks something in the connection is "missing" but I don't know how phpbb3 and a database work together.
I have tried reinstalling wamp a couple of times and also phpbb3 with no results.
Downloaded a new version of wamp and phpbb3 that also didn't give me any results.

Did you create a database?

I haven't been able to get SQLite to work with WAMP 1.8. I'm not really sure what the problem is with that. I'd suggest using MySQL if you can.

I solved the problem with installing xampp instead of wamp.
It isn't a solution for the problem with wamp but atleast I'm able now to work on the forum in a test zone.
Thanks for helping me.
