Magento

Hi there, I told you I would be back

I’m installing the full version of magento ver 1.2.1 onto a vista platform running :
wamp 2.0
php 5.2.6
MySQL Ver 5.0.51b and
apache ver 2.2.8

I’ve done everything in the installation for windows post.

I’m now in the install wizard and I can get to the configuration stage. I leave everything as default (as I’m installing locally) and all the options are exactly what I need.

However when I click continue, it doesn’t. It just brings me back to the configuration page without any warnings.

Please help

I truly am stuck and have been at this issue for 5 hrs now.

Thanks!

i am having the same issue. i dont know why you release a new version that has a bug right at the installation point.

Having same problem as above with XAMPP and loop during installation on the configuration page.

I’ve got the same problem as well.

Using XAMPP on Windows XP, all settings on the Configuration page are pretty much default.

Might be worth a shot?

I got past it!

You need to chmod 777 your base directory, or in my case using WinXP just set all files and subfolders of the base directory to not be Read-Only. Went to the next step.

Any other possible solutions for this?  I’m in the same position. Magento is loaded into a folder called “cart” and “cart” has it’s permissions set to 777 already.

Got the solution !

Create a database in phpmyadmin, and it should be able to pass the configuration step by now...hope this help!

Turns out my problem was that I was leaving the database host as “localhost” but that wasn’t the correct address.

Anybody else still having this problem?  I’m having this issue as well and my directory has full permission and i’ve created the database as well bbut I’m still getting this loop redirect.

Enable innodb sir .

xampp/mysql/bin/my.cnf <-- use editor to open

#skip-innodb
# Uncomment the following if you are using InnoDB tables
innodb_data_home_dir = C:/xampp/mysql/data/
innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:10M:autoextend
innodb_log_group_home_dir = C:/xampp/mysql/data/
innodb_log_arch_dir = C:/xampp/mysql/data/
# You can set .._buffer_pool_size up to 50 - 80 %
# of RAM but beware of setting memory usage too high
set-variable = innodb_buffer_pool_size=16M
set-variable = innodb_additional_mem_pool_size=2M
# Set .._log_file_size to 25 % of buffer pool size
set-variable = innodb_log_file_size=5M
set-variable = innodb_log_buffer_size=8M
innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit=1
set-variable = innodb_lock_wait_timeout=50

don’t know why session/install not show any message

I have this problem too. I create dataase include all necessary dlls. But cant past configure step....
and cant chane locale on previous step. My os is winxp sp3. Web servers are danwer 3.5, vertrigo, wamp.
But on all this webservers simillar trouble. What i can do to path this step?

Me too facing this problem for my local, I have created db and also imported sample data, then changed the chmode to 777 for main folder as well as needed sub folders, In configuration page I have provide host as “localhost”, db name as “magento” (which was created), username as “root” and password as “” (empty) , but If I submit continue button it shows the same page without any error notification, kindly let me know any solutions.

Yes just had the same issue using WAMP but changing permissions from read-only and getting the correct mysql details worked. But your right it doesn’t give any error messages if your mysql connection details are wrong or the directories are read-only…

Hi, I am having the same problem! I am using Uniform Server as my local server and I cannot pass through configuration stage as well. I have tried the suggestions above but none of them worked.:(

Any other suggestions?

Thanks.
