Magento

I am trying to install Magento on my machine. When i get to the configuration page to insert base url it tells me “this url is invalid”. I am running the latest version of php 5 with mod_rewrite enabled.

I get the same error. Is there any way to diagnose?

I get the same error.
The problem occures with 1.0.19870.1 version

I get the same error :(

yeah, installer on the command line does not work either

Hello,

Same problem here ...

Tried some installation paths, and with / without mod_rewrite:

o Url “http://localhost/dom.xx/www/” is invalid
o This Url is invalid

and:

o Url “http://localhost/domxx/www/” is invalid
o This Url is invalid

I have debugged the code and ....... (drums’ music here...) ........... seems like a PROXY bug to me!

LINE 137 @ <PATH>\app\code\core\Mage\Install\Model\Installer\Config.php:

(...)

$client = new Varien_Http_Client($url.$prefix);

(...)

I don’t think this object “Varien_Http_Client” is using my proxy settings!

Correct me if I am wrong

I am making a comparative information between Microsoft Commerce Server, osCommerce and Magento, I am trying to install Magento for the first time and it does not seems very easy to install… well at this moment, is the one that is failing :|

same problem here. :-(

On that page try to do:
1) Select the checkout box to enable SSL
2) It will show you option to specify Base URL for the
3) Change that base URL to http instead of https
4) Remove the check mark for enabling SSL

lior,

Nope that does not work for me. It looks like a number of people cannot do new installs.

I either get url is invalid with a http://domain.com or illegal characters with just domain.com

Lior : thanks BUT your metod doesnt work.

During the last months, I made several installs from scratch (no upgrade):
- v.0.9.17740
- v.1.0
- v.1.0.19700
- and today v.1.0.19870.1

For me, the error “This url is invalid” is specific to this very version (v.1.0.19870.1), when installing from scratch (upgrade is not a problem).

I use a Pack Pro Standard (Linux, PHP5, MySQL5.0) on 1and1.

I tried several things (upload file /app/etc/local.xml manually with correct data, so that Magento skips this step, etc...), and finally decided to Google for “magento-1.0.zip”, (because the file is no longer available on the Magento site) and installed a clean v1.0 and immediately upgraded to 1.0.19870.1.
I didn’t have the time to wait for a next corrected release.
I worked fine for me.
HTH

@JFS77 camay, and Josue4ever
Can you PM me FTP or shell access information to your servers, I will check it out

Also, Is anyone using the downloader using PEAR? or install of full package?
Try to remove all the files.
If you are using downloader try to upload files again and run the downloader
If you wish to use full package, download one more time that latest version and use it.

I tried both full install and downloader (and for downloder, via web and SSH).
None of them worked.
So I installed v.1.0 and upgraded to last version, without any problem.

Can’t do that.  Test a clean install and I’m sure you’ll see the released installer is broken.

I tried downloading the files again and same result(s)

I have done the same
- v.1.0
- v.1.0.19700
- and today v.1.0.19870.1

My installation was ok in version 1.0.19700 but i made a mistake. Only followed the blog instructions about the secure URL. Then all was broken, the button “save configuration” doesnt work. Then i erased everything and uypload again (uhh 4 hours). Then i follow the installation and now have this…

If theres no other way to resolve i can give you the ftp information
