problem installing joomla 3.3.3 on hostgator

Post by paulb1 » Fri Aug 22, 2014 10:55 pm

hello,
I'm trying to install Joomla 3.3.3 on Hostgator using Quickinstall without installing sample data but I don't have the option to do this. It only installs with sample data. Is there a way to get rid of it? When I delete the articles I get this:

Thanks very much,

Joomla! - the dynamic portal engine and content management system.
Version: 3.3.3
Install Size: 20.28 MB
Official Site: http://joomla.org/

Application URL (where you will find the app in your browser):
http:// /

I dont know how hostgator works.
If you deleted article, you face this error, bc. home page point to article which does not exist, its no error, its normally.
If you have no article, nothing then Joomla can not display something. So just create one testing article or whatever and link home page menu item to that.

Compare the inserts of joomla.sql with those from the demo sql. Delete the rows that are not in the joomla.sql for all tables. Start with the demo sql because not all tables are populated with demo data.
Issue with migrating? Include logs/joomla_update.php in your report!
Blank screen? Verify pagesource for HTML code (javascript error)
Installation failing on populating database? Install with set_time_limit(0)
Document your customizations!
