Magento

I’m going through the install wizard, and I filled out the page where you enter the database name, user, password, etc…

Then I click continue, and the next page says:

Fatal error: Call to a member function isApplicationInstalled() on a non-object in /home/johnw/apache/domain.com/htdocs/magento/app/Mage.php on line 361

Can anyone tell me what is wrong, and how I might fix it?

Server is running Linux with PHP5

Please remove existing app/etc/local.xml and re-run installation wizard.

No need to clean database or remove files.

Let us know how it goes.

"No need to ... remove files”

besides app/etc/local.xml

OK, I deleted the local.xml file, then tried to re-run the installation wizard, but now I can’t even do that because when I go to http://www.domain.com/magento/install/

I get this error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function isApplicationInstalled() on a non-object in /home/johnw/apache/domain.com/htdocs/magento/app/Mage.php on line 361

We can’t reproduce this error, but please try this update:

in app/Mage.php on approx. line 363 replace

I’ve made a mistake in previous post.

it should be

Then it should show an error, please paste it here.

OK, I did that.  Here is what I get when I go to http://www.domain.com/magento/install/

Are you sure there’s no app/etc/local.xml file ?

OK, I deleted the local.xml file again....then I was able to go to domain.com/magento/install/ and start the install wizard again.  I got to the page where I fill in the database info like name, user, password, etc…

Then I click the button to continue to the next page, but I get this:

Got anymore ideas on what the problem might be?

I’m having the same problem. I’m running locally with:

Apache 2.0.54
PHP 5.2
MySQL 5.1

I followed the instructions given by Moshe in this thread and this is the error I get after the database info screen:

The problem seems to be outlined perfectly in this post:

http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/306/#t1982

Although I reinstalled PHP with the PDO MySQL extension checked and still no joy......

@john_wilson: Something weird, do you have any other applications that run on this MySQL server? it looks like PDO makes connection but is unable to run 1st statement.

@mycommerce: Actually you have different problem: “The mysql driver is not currently installed”, check that you have php_pdo_mysql installed.

Hey Moshe,

I grabbed the PDO DLL from here:

http://www.nolimitclubbing.com/lib_php/php_pdo_mysq.dll

And it works fine now (well my empty database now has 157 tables in it and I’m onto the next step!)

cheers

Jason

Moshe, I have an rsync running which copies the MySQL data from another server to this server.  Could that be the problem?

I got the problem solved by setting a shortcut so the mysql.sock appears in /var/lib/mysql/

Everything seems to work now, and I got Magento installed.

I’m now also having these same problems,

Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock’ (2)

I’ve followed the solutions given by other users both in this post and the “Go Daddy CGI installation problems?” , but am not successful.

Is there anything else I can do? It took forever to be able to get just to the installation page, and now this problem!

Help is greatly appreciated!!!
