Installation, can't get past the first page
I have installed Joomla to my directory, went to my url/installation/php and got the first setup page where you select the language. I try and click on the NEXT button, but it doesn't do anything to take me farther in the install process. Can someone help me?
Thanks,
Shannon

Re: Installation, can't get past the first page
Could you provide a screenshot as I am not sure what could be causing this?
Also are you using IE or Firefox or another browser?

This is probably happening because your server is setup with Mod-PHP.
If you change how PHP is running, to 'FastCGI' it will work.

I found a quick fix. If you are using php 5.3 try going back to version 5.2

Re: Installation, can't get past the first page
Not necessarily. Hence the need for information of the environment. And don't forget most people on Shared hosting don't have this luxury or possibly even the necessary knowledge.Nap wrote:This is probably happening because your server is setup with Mod-PHP.

Nice idea but as above not everyone has this option. It could also potentially lead to other issues later down the line.ntsolutions wrote:I found a quick fix. If you are using php 5.3 try going back to version 5.2

This is the PHP 5.3 version where the loop happens when click next after selecting your language.

Re: Installation, can't get past the first page
I had this problem too but using Safari's web inspector I noticed the javascript files were not being sent by the server, I was receiving the http 400 error. It turns out that you can leave mod_rewrite on in apache and my php 5.3.8 install is fine too as part of a default Mac OS X 10.6 server install. But you must turn off any of the "web Services" in the site definition (Wikis, Blogs, Calendar, Mail) and for good measure I removed all of the aliases listed in the aliases tab too for the site. Saved the config and now Joomla works as expected.

Re: Installation, can't get past the first page
My first idea of changing the php version does not work for me anymore. I fixed my continuous loop after the language selection by inputting the correct save session path in the php.ini file located somewhere around line #884. If you pay for hosting your provider should be able to give you the correct path.
