1.7 install fails / infinite loop


DD_DD2

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I'm trying to install Prestashop 1.7.0.2 on a remote server.

1. I upload index.html and prestashop.zip (coming from prestashop.zip archive)
2. From my web browser, I go to the folder where index.html and prestashop.zip have been uploaded.
--> The unzip process  starts in a infinite loop !
 
Does anyone have an idea to fix that ?

Once the zip file has been manually unziped and uploaded to the server, an error 500 occurs.

" mkdir app/cache/dev permission denied"

 

I guess there is some server parameter to change to allow it. I will look at it.

 

Thanks for all

Solved  :)

 

It was an issue between users rights, apache admin user and web site user. The web site user was not allowed to execute the same process than apache admin user. Corrected with new rights.

 

Now the unzip process works like a charm.

 

Thanks for all your tips.

So how did you fix this (what did you do?), I am running on a win box and can't get this to work, gets to about 98% complete and then fails to enter the installation instructions. Driving me crazy.

Hi  phdawgy,

 

I didn't explained in detail because it depends on your server installation.

 

When you proceed to installation, you act as the ownership of your prestashop directory. But the installation itself needs rights of (apache) server.

 

Look at the ownership of your prestashop directory (let's say /www) and compare to the ownership of apache server (www-data and www-group for example).

 

Do something like chown -R www-data:www-data /www 

where www-data:www-data means user:group of apache server

Look at this link, it could help you :

Good luck!
