Can't get past 1st step of installer

Hi guys,

Had quite a few problems setting up Joomla with my hosst (vidahost), googled the problem and found a fair few solutions, unfortunately none of these have worked (I have also tried the solutions found in quick_start problems documentation on this site).

After I enter my details and choose the language, hitting next does nothing, and I can never get to the database wizard,
I have already made a database ready, although I tried first without doing this.

Any ideas anyone?

I would suggest to contact hosting company support.
Quickstart installation is a process that we haven't modified comparing to standard Joomla - so you would have same problem with standard Joomla installation.

Wierdly enough I can install gavick free on the same settings :

I shall try default joomla install then report back, as I'm not sure how much help my hosting company will be with specific errors like this

Thank you, the issue has been resolved and it was my hosting company as you mentioned.

The fix they gave me;

"The change is in libraries/joomla/session/storage/none.php
Just comment out the line where it says:-
ini_set('session.save_handler', 'files');"

Hope this can help someone else

Thanks for sharing the solution. Not often there is a problem with 1rst step so I hope this will be helpful for others.
