Magento

I uploaded all of the files.

When i go to the following page: /install.php ... I am redirected to /index.php/install/ ... and it does not like this.  It says, “No input file specified.”

Any ideas what I need to do to get this corrected?

Thanks,
Ben

The redirect part of your post is normal. 

The other part I’m not sure about - I haven’t seen that error, but my guess would be you are missing a file.  Try uploading again.

I uploaded everything again, and I am still getting the same error.  Any ideas?

If you trying to install,as I think, try both
http://www.your_domain.com/magento/index.php/install
http://www.your_domain.com/magento/install

I had problems with 1 link, but another - worked.

P.S. If you uploaded into subdirectory - use subdirectory name instead of “magento”.
If you uploaded in root, erase “magento” part.

If this is not what you are talking about - nevermind.

I tried both of those and still nothing.  Any more ideas?

What hosting company u use? And is magento in subfolder?

godaddy is the host.

Magento is in the root.  No subfolder.

In case you did not use Search - type Godaddy there. Here are instructions.

I’m having the exact same problem as benbonk, but i’m on dreamhost.  magento is installed in the root of the site.

any other ideas why i would be forwarded to http://www.site.com/index.php/install/? and why this would cause a

Redirect Loop
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

I came across the same question. input the full install url, such as http://www.yourname.com/install , and then IE will find the file. 
The following is key:
1. add
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php

to the php.ini

and change php.ini into php5.ini
2. edit .htaccess
modify rewrite base /magento/ to the real url, such as rewrite base /

3.add this line to php5.ini
cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1

Thank you. This worked perfectly for me on my godaddy shared hosting

Hi!

My problem is not solved. Still after going to instal I get http://www.mydomain.com/index.php/install/ with blank page (500 ISE).

I am running CentOs 6.0, Apache 2.2.15 (default configuration), Php 5.3. Magento files (1.7.0.2) in root of website.

Rewrite engine on in httpd.conf and in .htacces: no success

Deleting .htacces: no success

AllowOwerride All: no success

Permissions on 755/D 644/F: no success

Rewrite base / : no success

Memory 256M: no success

Adding AddType x-mapp-php5 .php...etc: no success

Any ideas?

Thanks!
