Details

Type: RuntimeException
Message: Identifier DB not initialized yet
File: /.../recovery/install/src/ContainerProvider.php

Is there is some configuration file where I can set DB params? I had insert all params via installation wizard.

There are 2 versions of shopware. From git repo and zip version from official website. Which one do you have? – Nanine

Zip version from official site. . . Is version can be different depending on zip or git? – Odette

Zip version is more like for show off to see how shopware looks like. And git version is for further development. So for zip version you need to create a database and you need to have a user for database who has all rights on to it. And then you can start the installation – Nanine

I had only created database without new user, only root. This look to me as problem? Can it be? – Odette

Not 100% sure. But try to create a new user and grant all rights to that database – Nanine

Did you make it? – Nanine

@Nanine I had remove php and reinstall again. This had done job. Mysql user was not problem. – Odette

Btw, after composer install, project not working again. It is working with ziped vendor folder. – Odette

Yeah I had a lot of problems too.... zip version breaks with any composer command. You need to git clone the version from git repo and install ant and then it will work – Nanine

Answer 1

In file recovery/install/src/ContainerProvider.php Add 2 strings:

1. In use-section

use Shopware\Recovery\Update\Utils;

2.Inside the register-function:

$container['db'] = function ($c) {
            $conn = Utils::getConnection(SW_PATH);

            return $conn;
        };

Would you mind submitting that as a Merge Request to the Shopware Code? It does seem like a nice fix – Gaptoothed

I was facing the same issue and this suggestion helped me install Shopware on my hosting provider! Any reason why we would not have this fix in in the Shopware source code? – Kinnard

This helped a lot, it still was a problem in the current shopware6-version – Litigation
