1.7 install fails with Unknown database type bit requested, Doctrine...

[DD_DD2]

I can't install 1.7.0.1 on OVH sharehosting.

 

Just fyi previous versions (1.5.x, 1.6.x) have been installed w/o any issues.

 

During installation of 1.7.0.1, the system compatibility is fine, as well the database connection.

 

BUT during the "Store installation" step, when creating database tables" an error occured:

"Unknown database type bit requested, Doctrine\DBAL\Platforms\MySqlPlatform may not support itUnknown database type bit requested, Doctrine\DBAL\Platforms\MySqlPlatform may not support it"

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

I am also having similar issue with 1.7 installation, but mine is on localhost (XAMPP). After the installation zip file has been 99% extracted, the browser displays an error message: "localhost is currently unable to handle this request.

HTTP ERROR 500"   

 

I do need help.

 

Thanks

About my first post [i can't install 1.7.0.1 on OVH sharehosting.]

The same with 1.7.0.2:

 

•    [Doctrine\DBAL\DBALException]
  
• 4: Unknown database type bit requested, Doctrine\DBAL\Platforms\MySqlPlatform may not support it.

I have solved my own issue. I updated php on my localhost (XAMPP) from php5 to php7 by installing XAMPP 7.0.9. The solution is to update to php7 as Prestashop 1.7 runs on php7

Nice for you !

 

But according to Prestashop, php 5.4 is enough : http://build.prestashop.com/news/prestashop-1-7-faq/ and the extract below:

What are system requirements for v1.7?

We announced in June 2015 that PrestaShop was moving to PHP 5.4. For a more complete picture, check the Getting Started guide.
