Install fails on 1.5.2

[Solutions]

Downloaded, check with MD5, install files to server, started installation process, everything smooth until it starts populating tables. Fails at 38% each time.

 

I removed the database and set it fresh using different names . . . with the ps_ prefix and without and get the same results. HELP!!!

• Create settings.inc file
  
• Create database tables
  
• Create default shop and languages
  
• Fails - Populate database tables
  

None of the suggested fixes in this thread below helped.

SOLVED Prestashop 1.5.1 problem with instalation

Edited November 26, 2012 by Solutions (see edit history)

I had the same problem with Prestashop 1.5.2.0.

 

Every step had worked fine until step 5 when installation stopped exactly at 63% (while installing the modules). Being not a professional, my range of solution trials was certainly limited (reset database, rename of prefix, increase CHMOD rights) but I knew that installations of previous versions had worked fine with my host and my present configurations. A comparison with a former installation (version 1.5.0) shows that the following tables have not been created:

 

ps_cms_block

ps_cms_block_lang

ps_cms_block_page

ps_cms_block_shop

ps_favorite_product

ps_homeslider

ps_homeslider_slides

ps_homeslider_slides_lang

ps_linksmenutop

ps_linksmenutop_lang

ps_newsletter

ps_pagenotfound

ps_reinsurance

ps_reinsurance_lang

ps_sekeyword

ps_statssearch

 

Just mentioning it in case this might be of importance to anybody.

 

I "solved" the problem now with returning to previous version Prestashop 1.5.1.0 - installation works quick and smooth as it should.

Hello Raimu, I suggest that you download the 1.5.2 version again. Sometimes you have a bad download file, it is rare, but it happens. 1.5.2 should install fine. Also, 1.5.2 fixed many previous issues and is a updated release. Furthermore, 1.5.3 will be released in the next two weeks, you can also be on the lookout for that.
