Re: cant progress past step 1: choose language
I have the same problem. I've checked and the server exceeds the recommended requirements.
PHP: 5.2.13
MySQL: 5.0.91-community
Apache: 2.2.15
When I hover the mouse over the next button the link is "javascript:void(0)";

Re: cant progress past step 1: choose language
Does the server need to have Apache: 2.2.15?
We currently have 2.0.63 running on our shared hosting. Can Joomla 1.6 still run on this?

I had the same problem on a test PC that was not connected to the internet by design. Using Wamp under WinXP. Had it connected to internet and completely updated to latest software versions and the problem was solved.

Re: cant progress past step 1: choose language
Hi all,
Just had the same experience today, I was trying to install a Joomla 1.6.1 packages, and could not get past step 1, same with the 1.6.0 package, but not with the 1.5.22 package.
I found out by manually putting index.php?=preinstallation in the link I come to the next page, but I didn't get past the database step.
All this was on my local webserver ( Mac OSX Server 10.6 )
I installed the same package ( 1.6.1 ) on a remote webserver running on linux, there was no problem there... Hmm, so I guess it is not the joomla package it self, but the webserver setup.
What system are you guys running ?
UPDATE:
Found the solution:
1. Go into you Server Admin
2. Click Web
3. Click Sites
4. Choose your site
5. Folder pane => Web Services
6. Disable wiki, blog and calendar

Re: cant progress past step 1: choose language
where is this server admin that you talk about? Do you mean the control panel (like cpanel) for your websites?xp3rienc wrote:Hi all,

Re: cant progress past step 1: choose language
I ran into the same problem today and fixed it by running the installation using FireFox browser instead of IE. The installation was done successfully.

I couldn't get past Step 1 either. I changed my browser from IE to Google Chrome.
It fixed the problem.

Re: cant progress past step 1: choose language
I'm on windows 7, tried IE 9, FF11 and Chrome17, didn't work. Went to work the next day, WinXP, IE8 and it worked?
Came back home, tried to log into the admin page, no go. I 've been reading all the blog on both instalation and no admin back end access..still haven't found an answer that works. About ready to give up on this!
