Another installation stuck at step 1

[ROED]

Hi guys,
I have searched and read a great deal of posts regarding this matter and every solution suggested is now tried but still no go. I have edited php.ini, installed new services on the server etc. But the installation only blinks a second and then stays on page one of the configuration.

It is a VPS so I have full control of the server.

Please any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi there.

Do you use wampserver or xampp ?

Go into the c:\wampserver\apps\phpmyadmin4.4.14

Make a copy of the file called config.smaple.php and save it as config.inc.php and the follwoing line of code.

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysql';

This should end your error. I hope that you setup my sql server correctly ?

No I run Apache on the VPS.
MySQL is 5.1.73

Here is my FPA:

Hi there switch over to wampserver. And first run the mysqli terminimal and the msqli line. And create a config.inc.php first from the config.samples.inc.php.

And joomla should install now 100%

[ROED]

That's not an option!

[ribo]

disable eaccelerator

[ROED]

THANK YOU Ribo!!
Just the answer I needed. Now the installation can run without problems.

Thanks

[ribo]

you welcome

Which was the answer?

I don't use eaccelerator, but I use Xcache, so I tried disabling it, but same thing, stuck on step 1.

Joomla 3.4.3, on Centos 6.4 64-bit, Apache 2.x, nginx, mysql 5.5.

Many many other Joomla sites running on this server, all upgraded to 3.4.3 no problem.

[flaxton99]

Well this is embarrassing, but I found the problem.

php's session.save_path was set to a non-writeable directory. Changing it to:

Code: Select all

session.save_path = '/tmp'

fixed the problem and the rest went with no issues as usual. *Whew*.

I will write this in my notes for next time!

every one 's solution is different. it depends from server configuration.
