Magento

Install Seemed to go well untill I went to admin

I am on hostgator and did the php 5 update with the cgi file and such .. It finally allowed me to install the software . I added my database
go to the end , I went to the front end and it appears to work right (first install so not sure what I should see) then when I clicked on the admin and entered my info I got this

Fatal error: Call to a member function setActive() on a non-object in /home/myhand/public_html/app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/Controller/Action.php on line 67

any thoughts ?

I have the same problem

magento 1.0

I am having the same problem with the same error.  Has anyone solved this yet?

It doesn’t look like the install was complete, the menu block is missing, this might be because of memory limit during PEAR installation.

Is it possible to do what you suggested without SSH access?

Yes, in MagentoConect Manager try installing ‘magento-core/Mage_All_Latest’ extension key, if the browser times out without showing successful “Refresh” button under the console frame (make sure that it actually DID timeout - no loading progress indication anymore, because it can take long time) - so, after it times out, refresh the page, and repeat ‘magento-core/Mage_All_Latest’ installation, until all packages were downloaded and installed and you have success “Refresh” button.

Well, before I got your last response I deleted /magento/app/etc/local.xml and installed Magento again.  It’s working fine now.  Thank you so much for your help.
