1.7.2. installation hangs on language screen
Hello,
First of all sorry if this has been solved already, but after searching all day today I gave up.
Basically installation gets stuck after choosing language and clicking [next] button, with the circle in the middle going and going forever.
I am installing fresh 1.7.2. on a remote host which is at home.pl - It has php 5.3
I am using latest firefox
I upload joomla zip file together with akeeba kickstart file into the subfolder, which I want to use for this site.
Then I:
Point the domain to the subfolder
Extract zip using kickstart,
Edit the libraries/joomla/filesystem/path.php line179 (replace JPATH_ROOT with '/')
Change the name htaccess.txt to .htaccess
Go to domain.com/installation/index.php
press [next] and then it gets stuck
I searched the forum and googled for clues but unsuccesfully. I would appreciate if anyone knows the solution to this issue.
Thanks
edit:
Just tried unzipping 1.7.2 locally and uploading all the files. Result is the same. installer stuck on step 1, language selection.

Re: 1.7.2. installation hangs on language screen
I forgot to mention, it's not my first joomla install. I maintain, backup and restored already a couple of sites within last few years. Now I am doing some tests before I upgrade one of the sites from 1.5 to 1.7.
I actually dont know why this happens because I installed 1.7.0 few weeks ago without any problems doing it exactly the same way.
I re-read the manual. Uploaded joomla172.zip file to the root/folder, unziped it using akeeba's kickstart.php. Installer shows up and gets stuck at first step. To make sure it's not akeeba's fault I unzipped it locally, uploaded painfully slowly all the files, got the installer running, and got stuck again at the first step.

Do php on your server have JSON support?

Re: 1.7.2. installation hangs on language screen
They say it does. I checked it by running script that i found:
<?php
$json = '{"a":1,"b":2,"c":3,"d":4,"e":5}';
var_dump(json_decode($json));
var_dump(json_decode($json, true));
?>
and got the result:
object(stdClass)#1 (5) { ["a"]=> int(1) ["b"]=> int(2) ["c"]=> int(3) ["d"]=> int(4) ["e"]=> int(5) } array(5) { ["a"]=> int(1) ["b"]=> int(2) ["c"]=> int(3) ["d"]=> int(4) ["e"]=> int(5) }
so I gues they're telling the truth.
They also advised me to switch off the statistic counting script available from configuration panel and that solved the issue for me.
Thank you very much for help and pointing me in the right direction.

Re: 1.7.2. installation hangs on language screen
This is also hanging for me on a fresh install using IE9 and Firefox. I have Json enabled, the version is 1.2.1. PHP Version is 5.2.17. Linux, Apache 2.0.52 (Red Hat)
I unpacked the files on my harddrive, then uploaded them with ftp. Pointed url to installation files. The language page comes up and then it won't go any farther. I too, get the waiting circle when I click Next, then nothing happens, just the circle going round and round forever in the IE or Firefox browser.
However, it installed correctly using Google Chrome.

Hi, same problem. My solution was to deleted the temporary files in Google Chrome.

Re: 1.7.2. installation hangs on language screen
Did anyone figure this out yet??? Not only does my install hang at the language step of the installation in firefox, chrome and safari but it has a bunch of error codes in the background of the installation. (see screenshot)
I have had Joomla 1.7x running on my server before when I installed with godaddy but I need to do it manually though ftp so I can install a specific template. Please advise, this is very frustrating.

Re: 1.7.2. installation hangs on language screen
Can you explain why? You can install Joomla and than install a template or are you trying to install a template as a package installer with samples?jjph wrote: but I need to do it manually though ftp so I can install a specific template.
You can see from the errors that the 'session_save_path' on your server are incorrect set. Is this on 'Godaddy'?

Re: 1.7.2. installation hangs on language screen
yes using godaddy
I'm trying to install that way just because thats what the instructions for the template from theme forest said to do. Im trying to install the template with the sample data, I was told I can't do it in the backend of joomla. Any ideas?
