3.0.2 Hangs on Step 1 of Install

Post by carterx » Thu Nov 08, 2012 11:51 pm

I have the correct server specs according to the requirement for version 3 here http://www.joomla.org/technical-requirements.html and I've tested the install with FireFox, Safari, Chrome with no luck.

I've also gone ahead and re-downloaded the install pack in case the issue was a bad download but still no luck.

I see Topics reguarding version 3.0.1 but I had no issues with this version when I tested not too long ago.

Anyone else?

Want to PM me the database details ? I can try and see if the same happens with my computer. There was a similar problem a few days ago but it installed OK from my computer.

I got the PM with the url. Same problem from this end, tried FF, IE and crome No Avail. All it does is stick a hash tag on the end of the url, even when not entering details the pages just winds and does not through an error of not filling in the boxes. Have seen this in the forums before and it was a missing module in the php.

Please run the http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=621&t=582860 and post the results here.

I have a solution to this issue, after facing the problem of not being able to move on to step 2 of the joomla 3.0 installation aka. hanging on step 1. My iis server was running iis 7.0.6 and after unzipping the files to install joomla 3.0, it hung on step 1. I looked at the php .ini, magic-quotes etc. and all the settings were ok, but my installation still hung on step 1.


MY FIX:
---install joomla 3.0 locally using xamp and mysql workbench
---make sure the mysql database has the same user and password that you will use later on the IIS server.
---After installation and the instillation folder have been removed, copy all files to your IIS server.
---Back up the database you used locally, and remember the user name and password for connection to the database.
---Import the backed up database to the mysql workbench or server on your IIS server.
---Copy the files from your xamp htdocs folder to the hosting location on your IIS server.
---Browse to the location on your browser for testing.


Hopefully, this fixed the problem. It worked for me! :)

For anyone trying to install joomla3 or joomla2 on a hosting where PHP 5.5 is running

If your installation hangs at step 1 do the following

open libraries/joomla/filter/input.php

find the following
$source = preg_replace('/&#(\d+);/me', "utf8_encode(chr(\\1))", $source); // decimal notation
$source = preg_replace('/&#x([a-f0-9]+);/mei', "utf8_encode(chr(0x\\1))", $source); // hex notation
replace with the following

Code: Select all

$source = preg_replace_callback('/&#x(\d+);/mi', function($m){return utf8_encode(chr('0x'.$m[1]));}, $source); // decimal notation
$source = preg_replace_callback('/&#x([a-f0-9]+);/mi', function($m){return utf8_encode(chr('0x'.$m[1]));}, $source); // hex notation
source github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/pull/1309

used it on both joomla 2 and joomla 3 installers and can successfully get to step 2.

PHP will warn you about this problem with the following error either on screen or in the error_log

Code: Select all

preg_replace(): The /e modifier is deprecated, use preg_replace_call back instead
To the joomla development team, your work is great however PHP 5.5 has been around for quite some time now, time to get rid of this deprecated modifier ;)

gingir,
Thank you very much worked for me.

For others I am installing on localhost with XAMPP.
I was getting stuck on the install screen page 1.
edited the page as suggested (made a back up file first and used notebook, was a little messy)
and it worked fine...
at least now I am on t he 2nd page...
see what happens next.

gingir:

I have the same problem and found the same link you mentioned above in my personal search for an answer before turning to Joomla forums. I modified my input document as described by the original author and yourself. For me it made issues worse. The outcome was that the website installation refreshed and dropped all of the information I inputted into the cells e.g. website name, email address, admin name and password. I received a error saying that I need to fill in the cells. I tried three times before I considered the that the the original author does not know what he is doing, made an error in coding or is pulling everyone's leg.

By the way, I reverted to xampp-win32-1.8.2-2-VC9 and it worked with Joomla_3.1.5-Stable-Full_Package.

Just wondering if others are having the same behavior after changing editing the input file.

Thank you G for your help.

Thanks so much gingir!

I'm no stranger to Joomla, but relatively new to xampp and Ubuntu, so I wondered if that were the issue - especially since I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 13.04. I had it working on a previous installation, so I couldn't imagine Joomla was the problem. Now it's all working better than ever :)

Thanks again!

Thanx ginger.

Your solution worked.

A little perplexed as to why the developers overlooked this.

Best,

After posting my previous post, I have found the solution to this problem. The solution is to increase the maximum_execution_time to 300 (from 30) in php.ini.

Doing so everything goes very smoothly. I think, Joomla Engineers should put this a pre-requisite for joomla installation and should be flagged as not met in the second stage of the installation.

Thank you very much, that worked for me.

After trying gingir's solution I still can't get any further but I have a slightly different outcome. This is what it shows me when I click next: (See attachment)

Th hole process happened to me as well. Using MAMP, LAMP, XAMPP or whatever on mac 10.8.5 and Joomla 3.1.5
First, no way to pass step one, and after the modification the weird outcome...

Day 2 of something that used to take me 10 mins...

Is there any work around?

Perhaps you should run phpinfo to tell us something about your setup. To run this, copy this code in a text file and save it in htdocs folder (save as test.php). You can then run it by using the browser URL as:

localhost/test.php

the code is:

Code: Select all

<?php phpinfo(); ?>
Good luck.

OK just checked your file and I have noticed that you have this:

max_execution_time 30 30

Change 30 to 300 for both items and you should be OK.

While you are at this, you should also change this:

max_input_time 60 60

Here change 60 to 300 for both entries.

Generally there should be only one entry for both but I don't know why you have two entries like 30 30 and 60 60 when it should only be 30 for first and 60 for send.

any way change the values, save the file and re-start the server. Very important to restart the server so that new settings are loaded.

Good luck and post back what happens.

You need to change this in php.ini

It is located at this link in your configuration:

C:\xampp\php\php.ini

Good luck.

Hello. I got the same issue. I have tried the change the input.php as gingir sugessted. But that does not work, the information in the fields just dissapears.
Then I tried to ini file as xfsgpr sugessted. Nothing changed, the fields still just drop the information.
So I reverted the fix gingir made and now the process hangs up like before.
Please help.

EDIT: The new 1.2 Alpha works fine, but that does not really solve the problem since I would like something stable.

Didn't work for me either. Still get the exact same error as in my previous post.
Will try and install the whole thing on my laptop to try if it probably works on another machine but would really have preferred it to work on my PC.

I have the same problem as carterx, but with Joomla 3.1.5 for a localhost development environment. I've reinstalled XAMPP and Joomla using different mirrors - several times - to no avail.

Looking for php.ini in localdisk/xampp/php, I find no php.ini but php.ini-development and php.ini-production instead, so I have not got as far as testing xfsgpr's solution. Which do I edit? After 11 months, is there a stable solution?
