Magento

Hi,
In cPanel i found out the followingL

PHP version 4.4.2
MySQL version 4.0.27-standard

MySQL is outdated which is probably why magento wont work. I will request my host to upgrade but is there a workaround this.

Hi,
I did a reinstall but still the same problem. Once i get into the wizard, i specify the database settings- i created the database using phpMyAdmin, and after specifying the user name db settings, etc and when i clicked next i got the error again. URL is: http://www.dhattgroup.co.nz/dgtech/magento. I guess ill have to wait for my host to upgrade or change hosts.

So what MySQL server version do you have now?

Hi,
Currently MySQL version 4.0.27-standard

I am in the process of changing hosts and am uploading magento to another host already which supports php5 and MySQL version 5.0.45-community

Hi,
I was very excited to try Magento. i downloaded and tried to install magento-1.0.19870
Unfortunately I get

Fatal error: Call to a member function children() on a non-object in /home/content/l/i/n/mydomain/html/magento/app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Config.php on line 158

This is line 158
$modules = $this->getNode(’modules’)->children();

Sorry I posted this in another thread but am getting no response.

Thank you in advance.

Another installation tutorial in spanish:

http://www.elblogdemagento.com/como-instalar-magento/

Aha so it seems there is a lot of installation problems… I use lunarpages and had them updgrade me to the php5 server…

followed all the instructions to no avail… i figured its the htaccess issues… but the documentation on
http://www.magentocommerce.com/knowledge-base/entry/installing-magento-on-a-php4-server

is not accurate or not easy to read because the htaccess file is so confusing.

I’m only looking into Magento< what version would you suggest me to go for?

Hi All,
This is my first post here.  Excited about transitioning an existing site over to magento. 

Anyone here have any experience installing Magento on MediaLayer Application Hosted configurations?  I am currently trying to install full version 1.0.19870.4 and am having issues with the installer redirecting to localhost (my machine!?) for some inexplicable reason.  I’ve attached the HTTP header session (some host / server names have been changed to protect the innocent )

FYI - I ran magento-check php script and it had no complaints..

Apache 2.2.8
PHP 5.2.5

Any help will be appreciated - I can’t wait to get this sucker running!

ON MEDIA LAYER (don’t know about other hosts)

check: Skip Base URL validation before next step

and try installing.. it worked for me, still setting up though.. dunno what else await me..

It would be beneficial to have a Linux virtual machine created with Magento pre-installed and working

I’ve been working with Magento for a couple of months now. I just tried the magento-1.0.19870.4 version. This is the FIRST version of Magento that I’ve been able to install without issues of one kind or another. After all my b*tching (to myself, mostly), I want to give credit where credit is due. Great job, guys!

Hello,

Could you help me anybody?I couldn’t install the script, because I got “PHP Extension “pdo_mysql” must be loaded” error.

First I did run the magtchk.php and I got this: Congratulations! Your server meets the requirements for Magento.

I uploaded the Magento to my server and I wanted setup, but I got the error.

I did run again the magtchk.php and I got this:

“Your server does not meet the following requirements in order to install Magento.
The following requirements failed, please contact your hosting provider in order to receive assistance with meeting the system requirements for Magento:

* You are missing the pdo extension
* You are missing the pdo_mysql extension”

If I delete the Magento the check is good. I don’t understand it.

The server use PHPSuExec.

This is the php info without Magento: http://webbolt.info/info.php

And with Magento: http://webbolt.info/magento/info.php

What is the problem? Thanks a lot!

Lookingh at the 2 links shows that there are using different php.ini. Presumably the magento one tells something about pdo…

You might consider:
1 - Making a backup copy of magento’s php.ini
[SIDENOTE: since you have cpanel and if space is not a problem, I would recommend that ypu make a backup copy of your magento file-tree. And if space is widely available, do a backup copy before doing any significant change… you will save lots of time!]

2 - editing the lines handling pdo.

General note: There are cases where magento-check diagnoses a bad configuration, but where magento runs anyway. So do not just rely on the message from the chack, try launching magento itself
