Magento

Hello.

I followed this tutorial (http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/mediatemple_installation_guide_-_grid_service) to install magento in the GS MediaTemple’s server.

I first tried the full-installation; i got an error in the creation of the admin’s account, but i fixed with the help of the section “Known Issues” in the tutorial.
The solution was to run the sql code to create and populate the database.

In the light-installation i have the same error when craing the admin’s account:
“Not Found
The requested URL /magento/install/wizard/administratorPost/ was not found on this server.”
What is wrong?
Where could i find the sql file to create the entire database to the light version (without the data example)?

Thanks

Hi bajolo,
if your server supports mysqladmin (most servers do) the sql dadabase can be edited in there.
All you need to do is, figure out the URL of your mysqladmin interface. Commercial hosts will send you this path together with all other instructions and information.

Hope that helped,
Max

Thanks for the response, but that doesn’t solve my problem. :-(
Anyone could tell me where could i find the SQL file of the database used by Magento - the light version?
I have the SQL file for the full version, but that has example data that is not wanted…
Thanks in advance.

Hi bajolo,
Could you post here a text of the error message you get ?

During installation, when creating the admin’s account, i have this error:
“Not Found
The requested URL /magento/install/wizard/administratorPost/ was not found on this server.”

Can yoo delete app/etc/local.xml and try to go through the installation wizard again ?

Yes, but i still have the same error upon the creation of the admin account. :-(

I had the same problem. Are you using a ftp? I fixed my by uploading the files again. and then reinstalling magento. And did you fix the “Observer.php” file? If that doesn’t work try changing your php.ini file. But it seems like not all of the database tables were made so i would try upload everything in the app folder and lib folder again.

Thanks but…
I uploaded a new Observer.php file from this thread (http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/1522/).
I uploaded the files again .
But when installing, the last part of the installation - the creation of the admin account - is not finished with success.
An important thing: the admin account creation screen is not properly rendered by the CSS. And when i submit the information, gives me the same error i listed above. :-(
What is wrong?
Thanks

It seems like your still missing files. Are you install the full ver. ? I may know the problem but am not sure yet. Magento is a weird script to work with and really weird with media temple. Good Luck tell me if you get anywhere.

I still don’t have magento running.

The full installation (with the example database) has a problem when i try to create the admin account. In that stage of installation i have to create the database manually using this script (http://www.magentocommerce.com/support/mt-gs/database_reinstall.sql).
Then, i have to refresh and create the admin account twith success and magento is installed with success.

But with the installation of the normal version of magento, i have the same problem when i create have to create the admin account.
Sadly, i don’t have the correspondent sql file to create again the database.
So the problem persists.

What can i do?
Thanks

hi
what urls did you have on the previous steps ? could you provide full urls please (just replace the domain name if needed) ?

well… url for magento: magento.webrunch.com
it gives me an error in http://magento.webrunch.com/install/wizard/administrator/
how you could see, the page isn’t tendered by CSS.

PS: in the full version of Magento, it gives me this error. But when i reinstall the database and do refresh i create the admin account and everything is ok.

Looks like you give wrong configuration for web URLs on previous page.

Your Base URL should be “/” , not “/magento/”

I have put only / and not /magento/ but when i try to create the admin account gives me the error:
--
Not Found

The requested URL /install/wizard/administratorPost/ was not found on this server.
--
The URL that is shown when the error happen is “http://s28046.gridserver.com/install/wizard/administratorPost/?SID=ffd64c3fdcd4318ef50c6bcc1111168b”

What is wrong?

I’m confused too

before you had host magento.webrunch.com, and now it’s s28046.gridserver.com…

the question in reply #11 meant: “What URL are you going to, when you just start the installation and see the first wizard page”

From this URL we’ll be able to help you to set correct Host and Base URL.
