Install Language problem: 23%

[lcssanches]

[Thu Oct 15 16:20:50.457460 2015] [:error] [pid 672:tid 1072] [client ::1:59528] script 'C:/Servers/Apache24/htdocs/prestashop/install/sandbox/anything.php' not found or unable to stat, referer: http://localhost/prestashop/install/index.php

Well, that's the error I'm facing when try to install prestashop (1.6.1.0).

 

I really don't understand what's going on, I already install it in other computer. The only thing that's different is that this PC is behind a proxy.

 

The error shown in page is that "was not possible to install "Português (Brazil)" language

 

Apache 2.4 + PHP 5.4

 

 

Any help?

Install in English first and then load other localization packages. I've had the same problem with other language.

Same.

And now it only tells me that "an error ocurred" at 23%.

I think it's something related to proxy. But i don't know how to configure apache to use proxy.

After some research I found this
 
1- Even I select United States as country, PS Install still looking for 'BR' code.
2- The table ps_lang is empty, so when install process will look for the country, there's nothing there.
 

The error occurrs in "install.php" file at "installLanguages" function and the exact point is in "if (!$id_lang = Language::getIdByIso($iso, true)){."
 

 

Some help?

 

 
write_log function was add by me.

	public function installLanguages($languages_list = null)
	{
		write_log("installLanguages --start");
	
		if ($languages_list == null || !is_array($languages_list) || !count($languages_list))
			$languages_list = $this->language->getIsoList();

		$languages_available = $this->language->getIsoList();
		$languages = array();
		foreach ($languages_list as $iso)
		{
			write_log("installing $iso");
			if (!in_array($iso, $languages_available))
				continue;
			if (!file_exists(_PS_INSTALL_LANGS_PATH_.$iso.'/language.xml'))
				throw new PrestashopInstallerException($this->language->l('File "language.xml" not found for language iso "%s"', $iso));

			if (!$xml = @simplexml_load_file(_PS_INSTALL_LANGS_PATH_.$iso.'/language.xml'))
				throw new PrestashopInstallerException($this->language->l('File "language.xml" not valid for language iso "%s"', $iso));

			$params_lang = array(
				'name' => (string)$xml->name,
				'iso_code' => substr((string)$xml->language_code, 0, 2),
				'allow_accented_chars_url' => (string)$xml->allow_accented_chars_url
			);

			if (InstallSession::getInstance()->safe_mode)
				Language::checkAndAddLanguage($iso, false, true, $params_lang);
			else
				Language::downloadAndInstallLanguagePack($iso, _PS_INSTALL_VERSION_, $params_lang);

			Language::loadLanguages();
			Tools::clearCache();
				write_log("iso=$iso");
			write_log('!$id_lang = Language::getIdByIso($iso, true)');
			if (!$id_lang = Language::getIdByIso($iso, true)){
				write_log("id_lang=$id_lang ;;;; ".'getIdByIso '.Language::getIdByIso($iso, true));
				throw new PrestashopInstallerException($this->language->l('Cannot install language "%s"', ($xml->name) ? $xml->name : $iso));
				}
				
			$languages[$id_lang] = $iso;

			// Copy language flag
			if (is_writable(_PS_IMG_DIR_.'l/'))
				if (!copy(_PS_INSTALL_LANGS_PATH_.$iso.'/flag.jpg', _PS_IMG_DIR_.'l/'.$id_lang.'.jpg'))
					throw new PrestashopInstallerException($this->language->l('Cannot copy flag language "%s"', _PS_INSTALL_LANGS_PATH_.$iso.'/flag.jpg => '._PS_IMG_DIR_.'l/'.$id_lang.'.jpg'));
		}

		return $languages;
	}

Finally I got it working!!!!!!!!!

                           

 

For those who had same problem change

if (InstallSession::getInstance()->safe_mode)
                Language::checkAndAddLanguage($iso, false, true, $params_lang);
            else
                Language::downloadAndInstallLanguagePack($iso, _PS_INSTALL_VERSION_, $params_lang);

To

//if (InstallSession::getInstance()->safe_mode)
				Language::checkAndAddLanguage($iso, false, true, $params_lang);
			//else
				//Language::downloadAndInstallLanguagePack($iso, _PS_INSTALL_VERSION_, $params_lang);

Hi, its 2020 and the problem occurred to me as well while trying to install v1.6.1.6 stable.

The file that solved that is not there for me to tweak any ideas?

Prestashop has the nasty habit of automatically determining your country and language. That is not always helpful as it doesn't include language packs for all options.

I don't know which file would contain the language detection in PS 8.0/8.1. My guess would be /install/classes/controllerHttp.php from line 140-150.

Alternatively you could try to add your language under /install/langs. Just copy from a related language and adapt the texts.

Thanks, but I have the same problem on presta 17.8.9, language pack is full, and when i trying install another language, error is back on 23%

Two other options for the language problem:

 - try installing while behind a VPN. Protonmail offers a free VPN service.

 - sometimes there is a problem that Prestashop ignores your country and language settings at the start.

To understand the latter one should understand the first phases of the installation. Most of the settings that you make on the first pages are stored in hidden HTML form variables in the next page as the database is not yet available. So you can check (and also change!) those settings in the next page.

The problem with the interface is that the "pretty" interface that you see for for example "country" is a javascript construct. When you make a change in that construct that change is not immediately made in the real country field. That field is only changed by a second javascript routine when you submit that page. And it looks like that can go wrong.
