Curious Problem with installation

[Gabriel Tiviroli]

I have a problem, then carefully follow the proper steps, and climb prestashop my hosting, I begin to install as indicated by the tutorial. Everything is fine, but when I reach the last step, ie, the data entry of the merchant, clicking on next, which should take the last step, nothing happens, or pinch and squeeze the button and there is is, never goes to the last page where it already decided whether to go to the front-end or back office. That may be what prevents this?

Did you check the box for "send a test email"?

Hi,

I had the same problem, it seems the hosting environment dont supply any default email sender in the PHP settings and this makes the installation "hang" with an exception. The missing php-setting is "sendmail_from".

Simplest workaround to get the installation to complete:

Edit the file tools/swift/Swift/Plugin/MailSend.php, comment row 166 using double // in front of the line like this:

// throw new Swift_ConnectionException("Sending failed using mail() as PHP's default mail() function returned boolean FALSE.");

I append my commented version

Hope this helps someone else.

It should be a global setting for this in the config and a warning if its missing.
