Barebones Guide: 1and1.com Shared Hosting Installation (North America)

trailsofsmoke Total Posts: 9 Joined: 2008-02-06 Ignore user	I feel like I’m close, but this is happening. I’m working with clean installs on two different 1and1.com shared account.... Do you think the path to the modules have changed? ./pear install mage-core/Mage_Pear_Helpers mage-core/Lib_ZF mage-core/Lib_Varien Attempting to discover channel “mage-core"… unknown channel “mage-core” in “mage-core/Mage_Pear_Helpers” invalid package name/package file “mage-core/Mage_Pear_Helpers” Cannot initialize ‘mage-core/Mage_Pear_Helpers’, invalid or missing package file Attempting to discover channel “mage-core"… unknown channel “mage-core” in “mage-core/Lib_ZF” invalid package name/package file “mage-core/Lib_ZF” Cannot initialize ‘mage-core/Lib_ZF’, invalid or missing package file Attempting to discover channel “mage-core"… unknown channel “mage-core” in “mage-core/Lib_Varien” invalid package name/package file “mage-core/Lib_Varien” Cannot initialize ‘mage-core/Lib_Varien’, invalid or missing package file Package “mage-core/Mage_Pear_Helpers” is not valid Package “mage-core/Lib_ZF” is not valid Package “mage-core/Lib_Varien” is not valid install failed I’m guessing that there’s something that needs to be changed in the PEAR script. BTW, if anyone is curious, the PEAR that I’ve run on other installs of this in the browser just simply die after a few processes. AND, it changes my .htaccess file back to php4. Anyone?

Here’s the error: Error in file: "/homepages/26/d40567794/htdocs/magento/app/code/core/Mage/Sales/sql/sales_setup/mysql4-install-0.8.11.php" - SQLSTATE[42S01]: Base table or view already exists: 1050 Table 'sales_counter' already exists Trace: #0 /homepages/26/d40567794/htdocs/magento/app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Resource/Setup.php(278): Mage::exception('Mage_Core', 'Error in file: ...') #1 /homepages/26/d40567794/htdocs/magento/app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Resource/Setup.php(158): Mage_Core_Model_Resource_Setup->_modifyResourceDb('install', '', '0.8.25') #2 /homepages/26/d40567794/htdocs/magento/app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Resource/Setup.php(144): Mage_Core_Model_Resource_Setup->_installResourceDb('0.8.25') #3 /homepages/26/d40567794/htdocs/magento/app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Resource/Setup.php(111): Mage_Core_Model_Resource_Setup->applyUpdates() #4 /homepages/26/d40567794/htdocs/magento/app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Config.php(195): Mage_Core_Model_Resource_Setup::applyAllUpdates() #5 /homepages/26/d40567794/htdocs/magento/app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/App.php(208): Mage_Core_Model_Config->init(Array) #6 /homepages/26/d40567794/htdocs/magento/app/Mage.php(404): Mage_Core_Model_App->init('', 'store', Array) #7 /homepages/26/d40567794/htdocs/magento/app/Mage.php(423): Mage::app('', 'store', Array) #8 /homepages/26/d40567794/htdocs/magento/index.php(40): Mage::run() #9 {main} I added the following to the .htaccess file to force php 5 and allow rewrites: `AddType x-mapp-php5 .php AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php RewriteBase /magento/` phpinfo() reports that the php version is 5.2.5 and I have set up a MySQL 5.0 database Using phpMyAdmin I can see that 107 tables have been created by the install script before it failed, the last being ‘sales_quote_temp_varchar’. I’ve spoken to 1and1 technical support and they’re looking into if for me, but I don’t hold much hope! Is there really no way of getting the latest version of Magento working with 1and1?!

By checking phpMyAdmin again I see that all the database tables have been correctly generated. So my advice for anyone else if they experience this problem is to try a different browser! Unfortunately the speed I’m experiencing using Magento (both front and back-end) with the 1and1 shared hosting account is waay too slow, so looks like I’m gonna have to go back to using a more basic open-source shopping cart, such as QuickCart, after all…

trailsofsmoke Total Posts: 9 Joined: 2008-02-06 Ignore user	For whatever this is worth, I tried SimpleHelix.com hosting and the results were strikingly different. A nearly flawless process. Magento runs fast and the install was easy. I moved 900 products over from a CRE Loaded installation and....it just worked. I’m nowhere near technical enough to have a good explanation for it, but that’s where I am now. FYI: 1and1.com hosting - difficult to install anything through PEAR mediatemple.net - impossibly slow simplehelix.com - not a single problem Take a look, if you’re interested.... http://www.newurbanfarms.net/catalog/

Opinioneer Total Posts: 5 Joined: 2008-03-09 Ignore user	Are you using the Standard Hosting Plan at SimpleHelix? I checked the newurbanfarms.net site and it appears to run faster than my installation did at 1&1;, although still not as fast as another shipping cart script I have. I installed Magento on 1and1 in the US and it was running fine until last week when I upgraded via Magento Connect. I upgraded all available Extensions and that went fine, but when I continued to upgrade the Magento Connect Manager, even though it showed that the upgrade was completed successfully, the minute I clicked on another link I got an error. Since then I’ve been getting this error: Error 500 - Internal server error An internal server error has occured! Please try again later. With a change in the http file the homepage seemed to work, but all links continue giving the error. Any ideas anybody?

noelperlas Total Posts: 2 Joined: 2008-06-21 Philippines Ignore user	Hi guys, hope someone can help me out. I’m on a hosted 1and1 server (developer account) and I did follow the instructions. But during the installation wizard, when I am in the Database Connection page, I get this error: Illegal scheme supplied, only alphanumeric characters are permitted - followed .htaccess instructions - checked if database is empty or no tables installed - followed the database name, username, host and password in my 1and1 admin panel - host is something like db1234.performa.net - magento version: ver. 1.0.19870.1 I’m stuck.

Mokono Total Posts: 10 Joined: 2008-08-26 Ignore user	I am on a 1and1 dev account and am trying to get the shared ssl working. I have looked through several places in these forums that discuss how to get it working, I installed the cart and did not select SSL (i didnt have it setup at the time) and now i want to enable it. I have made the updates to the .htaccess file, but that still gives me the “loop” error. One of the last posts i read mentioned that it would work if SSL was enabled for both admin and front-end. Well, not only did that not work, now i cant get back into the admin since it is still “in the loop”. If I can get this working, I will add a page to the Wiki specific to 1and 1 hosting so that we have 1 place for all of this information. We need to get the other posts locked and / or removed once we add it to the Wiki… Signature Web Designer / Small Business Consultant Spaffin.com & DiecastEverything.com
