Step 4 - Configuration Problem.

[WiFan2012]

What it is and how to fix it:

I recently uploaded PrestaShop (awesome shop by the way!) and when trying to install it I could not get past step 4. The "Next" button was dead.

That is when it hit me, I forgot to set file permissions to write, or in a FTP client, "777." According to PrestaShop, you must do this:

While you have your FTP connected to your Web hosting server, make sure the following PrestaShop folders have ‘write’ permissions (also known as “CHMOD 777” – explanation of file permissions here) but do not apply these permissions
recursively (to their subfolders): /config, /upload, /download, /tools/smarty/compile.

Then make sure the following folders have ‘write’ permissions and apply these permissions recursively (to their subfolders): /img, /mails, /modules, /themes/prestashop/lang, /translations

When I did that, the Next button was alive and well!

So, anyone who can't "finish" the installation, this may very well be a viable solution for you.

You have PHP 4 or 5?
How must I see this?

Make sure you only run PHP 5.

If you see "send notifications to" please disable that.

Sorry about that. Didn't realize about that last night!

Anyway, edited post.

Hi,

I have the same problem. Cannot get past Step 3 - system configuration.
However, the database has been verified and I have also received a test e-mail??

Please help!

And System compatibility was all cleared with green good marks.

SUCCESS!!!

I changed PHP 5.3 to 5.2 and every thing worked just fine )
