Installation of 1.5.6.1 freezed at 12%

[Maxima]

I am facing the same problem from last few days, i am installing ver. 1.5.6.1

 

i have repeated everything fresh (deleting all database files....)

but still...

My installation has freezed at 12%

Permissions on folders is 755

max_execution_time = 240

There are 220 tables created till now

But it's not moving on beyond 12%

 

BTW i am using Linux shared Hosting

 

Any help would be appreciated...

I've seen another one around the forum with more posts but can't find it right now. the issue was the files got corrupted during upload

You could try installing a MyISAM database instead of an InnoDB database.

 

This solved my problem and the installation was successful.

At my end installation at step 5 is not showing "Database Engine" option

 

Help me out!!!!!!!!!!!!

You might have to delete your database using PHPMyAdmin and create a new one. Then try to install again and you should get a dropdown option to change the database engine.

I've tried it still no success.................

 

its so frustrating.......

sorry Maxima - I'm not a prestashop expert and have run out of suggestions. I hope you find a solution soon.

First of All thanks reflectiveoffice for your suggestions and all help you've provided.

Then thanks to Nemo1 coz your suggestion in some way worked for me...

 

So the solution to all my frustration is

I have just start fresh (ofcourse once again)

and this time i changed my browser (from firefox to chrome)

and it installed all fine

HURRA!!!!!

I have tried everything possible after reading a bunch of threads on this subject.  My set up is in Rackspace Cloud Sites.  After a couple of tries working with the super powerful tech, Justin, we have solved this issue ... at least for me.

 

It appears it is a time out issue as everyone suspects.  What we did:

 

1.)  Uploaded an HTACCESS file to the root, which contains:

php_value max_execution_time 240

php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off

 

2.)  Updated this install file:  /install/models/install.php

 

Go to line number 169 and just above the line that has this:   if ($clear_database)

 

Enter the following:

 

// timeout prevention

ob_end_flush();

 

// timeout prevention

print(" ");

flush();

 

Attached, is the file for you to review.

 

That's it!!!

I hope this works for all those out there that are pulling their hair out, like I was!
