Magento

LoL - so let me get this straight - the newest release of Magento doesn’t even install?  Aka: it doesnt work?  Maybe you should test a release before releasing it!  Come on now!

When will this be fixed so I can use your software… i dont really feel like deleting and uploading an old version… can we just get a patch to fix this?  Why has no team member addressed the issue ... its obvious noone can install the newest version. lol.

Same issue here trying to install the latest Magento version.
If this is really a bug (which it seems) there is not one single excuse Varien can make for this bug to appear in a stable production release. Let alone let the community wait for several days to fix this issue…
This is more than a shame for Magento

Hi to all, This is a possible solution

I have checked the changes from the 1.0.19870 to 1.0.19870.1 in the SVN repository to search the problem, I have found that the problem is the file app/code/core/Mage/Install/Model/Installer/config php in the lines 136-141. When the unsecure URL is checked to validate it with a Response test in the line 75, the result is “File Not Found” because the url checked is e.g http://localhost/magento/install/wizard/checkHost/ but this url don’t work, the url that work is e.g http://localhost/magento/index.php/install/wizard/checkHost/ . note the index.php.

For that reason a temporaly solution to this is change the line 138 from the file app/code/core/Mage/Install/Model/Installer/config php

to

I hope that magento developers will be found a better solution.

Hi, to install 1.0.19870.1, please edit app/code/core/Mage/Install/Model/Installer/Config.php on line 139, replace:

UPDATE: missed the post above, use either

This works for installation.
Now, once Magento is running, only the home page works. All of the links lead to error pages because they need to have that “index.php” in the url, but they don’t. For example the sample store button ‘electronics’ links to “example.com/electronics” which is dead. However, “example.com/index.php/electronics” works.

@brolaf:

Go to Admin > System > Configuration > Web > Search Engines Optimization

Set “Use Web Server Rewrites” to “No”

Go to System > Cache management, set “All Cache” to “Refresh” and click Save.

@Moshe:

Thanks. That works.
Is this how the url should be displaying? With the index.php/ in there?
Or is this something that I will need to change back sometime?
I appreciate your help.

If you can enable mod_rewrite in your apache, you’ll be able to take advantage of URLs without index.php.

tried both suggestions but i still get problem : url is invalid . any ideas?

I’ve followed this through and it all works correctly and I get to the “You’re All Set!” screen.

However on clicking the Go to Frontend, or Go to Backend buttons I get blank pages with no output. I have earlier builds of Mageno working on this server without any issue.

Does anybody else have this problem? Should I just wait until an updated Magento installation package is released?

David.

Why disable mod_rewrite? Just follow this thread http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/8589/

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

with

$client = new Varien_Http_Client($url.'index.php/'.$prefix);

It was actually in line 137 of that file in my install.  FYI, the vi command is 137G for those who are VI challenged like me today.  - Ray

Is there a fix coming up soon?

Oddly enough on one machine this invalid url error occurred, which lead me to this thread on my error search. I just tried to install it on my other machine and it worked.

When I do the above named changes I get the following message after the connection times out:

Too many redirects occurred trying to open “http://localhost/webstore/index.php/default/install/”. This might occur if you open a page that is redirected to open another page which then is redirected to open the original page.

Thanks Cris

Had the same issue with the 1.0.19870.1.zip version for a fesh installation.
Did the above alteration and then it went very smoothly. So far so good.

This fix works but, just as an advice, the download package should be corrected…
Everyone who’s downloading this new version is getting this error… that’s not good at all for magento…
