Are you using a windows or a linux server?

[Two Bears Ceramics]

I believe its a windows server.

Amend that to Unix sorry

[tdarkangel4141]

I'm having the same problem...  I just downloaded v1.6.0.14, I've got the same index.php.  I'm on a Linux CentOS server, everything is updated to supported versions (php, mysql, etc.)  

It appears that something is "stuck" repeating the /install directory - the error is ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS.  I captured the console, it's included below and hope this helps.

I fixed the problem (I use a different ISP hosting than what was recommended, that could have been some of the problems - I use HostGator)

 

Here's how I fixed the problem:

1) FTP the contents of the prestashop folder to where ever you would normally put your domain (sub-domain), etc.

 

2) Create a generic php.ini file (put it in the directory of where you just put your domain), my file contains these 4 lines:

 

      allow_url_fopen = ON

      allow_url_include = ON

      allow_call_time_pass_reference = ON

      file_uploads = On

 

3) Create a generic .htaccess file (put it in the directory of where you just put your domain),  my file contains these 4 lines:

 

      <Files php.ini>

         Order allow,deny

         Deny from all

      </Files>

 

4) Clear all of your web browser's cache and cookies

 

5) Run the install (from your web browser)

www.yourdomainname.com/install/index.php

 

After doing this, prestashop finally installed and is running beautifully!
