Magento

Ok so at first I was getting the “no input file specified” when I would go to http://www.mypage.com/magento/install
I did the godaddy fix’s to the htacess file and the php5.ini file..

so now it gets to the Welcome install page. I click next and I get the same “ No input file specified”

it trys to go to index.php/install/wizard/beginPost/

What am I doing wrong?

i used the FTP program with godaddy.com / changed the premissions to 777 in the file manager

Please somebody help

rename php.ini file to php5.ini. if there is no php.ini file in the root directory please copy php.ini.sample file from your magento directory to root directory as php5.ini

Good Luck

If you are still having the problem of “no file input specified” after changing the htaccess and php5.ini files as posted everywhere in this forum… and are using GoDaddy, try this:

Login to your Godaddy Account.  Click on your hosting account. 
Go to Settings > File Extensions Management

and change .php and .php5 to run under PHP5.2X (instead of PHP5.2xFastCGI)

I had tried everything posted in the forums and kept getting the “no input file selected” even after getting to the installation page and clicking continue.....for an entire week and the above fix is what finally worked for me!!!!

This problem generally occurs with GoDaddy web hosting
This Problem can be solved by following Guidelines provided at
Blog Link : Magento coders

i have magento installed in a deluxe hosting plan in its own directory.

by root is the php5.ini file supposed to be in the web root or directory it is installed in?

(*godaddyAbsoluteHostingPath*/html)/php5.ini

OR

(*godaddyAbsoluteHostingPath*/html)/magento/php5.ini ?

thanks in advance.

A common error, which usually comes up if you’re hosted by GoDaddy, is the no input file specified error.

If you do not have Magento setup in the root of your server, make sure to add the following to your .htaccess file.

In your web root directory, there should be a file called php.ini. Rename this to php5.ini.

If there is no php5.ini file. Create the file and upload it to your root directory.

If that doesn’t work, add the following to the end of your newly renamed php5.ini file:

And if you’re still getting the error, add the following to the top of your .htaccess file:

If nothing above worked, call GoDaddy up and have them either rename this for you, or make sure you’re on PHP 5.

Wow! This worked! I tried everything suggested to edit .php5 and .htaccess file. And I was still getting error in installing Magento on GoDaddy. The moment I tried this solution, it worked! Thanks a lot dear!
