PS 1.7.0.0 RC2 wont install (Create file parameters)

[a_smith]

1700RC2, newly downloaded, installation failed on next step after the database connection.

 

It says 'Create file parameters' in red and the installation proces stops.

Dev mode is enabled but there is no log files in app/logs/ folder.

 

How can I know what stops the installator?

[JrDeline]

Have the same problem on RC2. Where can I activate the dev during the installation?

 

Annoying ... each new RC make problems which previously worked. I'm skeptical if the time will come where I can use/test all features, or I can go live with the official 1.7

Hello friends, I have the same problem. I have change PHP version, erase some other installation but don't work again.

[a_smith]

Small update. I,ve tried PHP 5.4, 5.5 and 5.6 on my Debian VPS. Problem stays same.

 

The parameters.php file is not created on the server and the installation proces stops.

 

I also tried previous RC1 version but it gives me same error.

The installation of the RC1 has worked for me without problems. PHP 5.4

Prestashop 1.7.0.0 RC1 works very well in my server. I have executed RC2 with DEV mode but I haven't error to repair. 

[hubik.tomas]

Hi guys, same problem here. Debian with PHP 5.5.52. Installation of stable 1.6 works without any problem, 1.7 RC2 is causing issues. Is there a log from installation somewhere by chance?

Hi,

 

I was able to install RC2 on my server without problem, but couldn't finish the installation on my localhost MAMP server and got stuck on Create File Parameters as well.

 

- PHP 5.6.25

- macOS Sierra 10.12

- MAMP PRO 4.0.5

- OpenSSL/1.0.2h

 

 

EDIT: My problem has been solved by increasing memory_limit to 512M

hello... PS team,,,, 114 views and not even one post from devs..?

Check your openssl version, there are issues with rc2 and older openssl versions. 

[hubik.tomas]

My OpenSSL version is 1.0.1t - trying to install testing instance without HTTPS FYI.

OPENSSL on my VPS is 1.0.1t  too...

Hello Friends, I have update my openSSL version and restart my server but don't work anyway.

Other ideas to complete install?

[a_smith]

@Rho_bur,
Thanks for the link. It doesnt help me much. I have all those components already installed on my server.

I have been using PS for almost 4 years now. My stores has served almost 45K customers during this time.
I own my own VPS instances on my private server on which I host about 60 various websites. Most of them are ecommerse sites.

My server is not cheap machine from randomly chosen hoster. It is custom designed web server based on Debian distro.

Server configuration is well proven. I never had such issues with any other web based application as I have with PS1.7 now.

Yes, I do understand it is RC2 and not final version. But I am not a newbie.
PS1.7 doesn't install on the production server on which I had sucessfully installed tons of web projects during last 4 years.
Whats more seems that I am not alone with this issue. And you guys are not even interested to find out what possibly causes this (critical) issue.

Sorry devs, but your PS1.7 RC2 SUCKS.

Same problem here with PHP 5.6.27

On my Plesk panel I got this log info:

 

Apache Error

This issue was in RC2 and RC3

 

 

After changing to PHP 7 installation is OK.

@a_smith, did you try with php 7? This solves the random generator issue.

Well... to this time I tried php 5.5 and 5.6

 

Now I changed to php 7.0.10 on my server.

And have this error message right away:

 

Fatal error:

ZipArchive Installation procedure documented below...  Zlib is not the same thing

 

http://php.net/manual/en/zip.installation.php

 

 

Linux systems

In order to use these functions you must compile PHP with zip support by using the --enable-zip configure option.

As of PHP 5.6.0 a --with-libzip=DIR configure option has been added to use a system libzip installation. libzip version 0.11 is required, with 0.11.2 or later recommended.

PS v1.7 does NOT require PHP 7

PS v1.7 does NOT require PHP 7

 

I,ve tried Presta 1.7 installation with PHP 5.4, 5.5 and 5.6 and get always the inst. error "create file parameters".

With PHP 7 the 1.7 installation works. When I switch back to PHP 5.x after 1.7 is installed, the front and backend in the browser are "blank"

[rocky]

I encountered the same error when I used XAMPP with PHP 5.6, but I'm using PrestaShop v1.7 RC3 on XAMPP with PHP 5.5 with no problems.

[a_smith]

OK, so... in my case the problem with ZipArchive has been solved by installing Libzip library. And now I was able to install PS 1.7 RC3.

 

BUT..... only front-end works.

When I try to go to the admin login page (www.mydomain.com/admin) I get Internal Server Error message.

The server log files as apache/php/syslog says nothing about what possibly happened.... 

 

After changing PHP from 7 (running as CGI) to 5.4/5.5/5.6 (running as Apache2 module) - USING THE SAME SERVER/PHP CONFIGURATION as when using PHP7 - I came back to well known issue about parameters file is not being created.

 

Good job devs!

[Antonino - Uebix.com]

The ZipArchive problem is note related to the random generator exception.

 

The solution for random generator exception is to downgrade paragonie/random_compact library from 2.x to 1.4.x or switch php to 7.x version

@Antonio,

This discussion is NOT related to issues caused by random generator exception. If you would read my previous post you would know that I use PHP7 but it does not solve the problem. I have manage to install PS1.7 but I get Internal Server Error on the admin login page. FO works normally.

@a_smith your first error was related to the random_generator exception. How you write after switch to PHP7 you get an other error related to ZipArchive.

 

So, now, you have an other error only in back office and this is not related to you first comment on this thread. It is an other error.

 

You have to investigate in your error_log to understand this new error.

 

In in some server configurations (specially when open_basedir is enabled in php and the file /dev/urandom is not accessible by the php) all versions of php < 7 are not supported currently because there is a compatibility break in a symfony library (paragonie/random_compact 2.0).

[a_smith]

There is nothing about the problem in server/sys/php logs

I have open_basedir disabled for all php versions on the server

PHP can access /dev/urandom file

[bellini13]

is this thread even about rc2 anymore?  the thread is not even about the original issue, which was resolved.

 

create a new topic with your new issue.
