Magento

when pressing next to step 2 it happend.
Url “http://www.nooko.net:80/” is not accessible
hosting with dreamhost
what can i do?

Right so I’m having same issue, and I know the exact reason why its happening.

Dreamhost like a lot shared hosting dont allow file_get_contents and insist you use Curl.

Dev’s need to change the installer so it uses Curl instead.

so , what can i do?

Nothing, I’m looking at the code a minute I might post a hack.

thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Broke my site lol, trying again now.

It’s to do with the paths you put in, well it was in my case, I had to remove the ‘/’ at the end and it worked…

have no / in the path end.

Sticky, this has nothing to do with paths, it is 100% down to how dreamhost have there server config’d.

can i ask them to change something if yes? what?

Sorry, I havent been able to spend a hour and do this yet. Dreamhost wont change the server setting, though you could in theory if you feel brave compile your own php distro. Details are on wiki.dreamhost.com

I’ll also email the devs.

so, do you know about hosting where the magento work of the box?

There is a list of hosting providers that will install Magento for you here - http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/Magento-Web-Hosting/

i install magento on dreamhost with some hack .
that what i done!
in file /core/mage/model/installer/config.php
set line 93 to - $checkRes=true;
set line 101 to - $checkRes=true;
it is you risk , but if you know you enter the right host (http://www.XXXXX.com) it is ok , just my way to install it!.
i know this is not the right way to solve the problem it is just a way to do what need at the moment.
thank you!

In next release it’s done by checking “Skip URL Validation” flag on Install wizard configuration page.

good!
