Hi,

Every time that i do the installation progress it stucks on the 3rd step - the installation step.
I click the button install and it gets me to the same page!!!

I deleted the database from phpmyadmin (xampp) and all the file and i did the procedure again...! But i faced the same problem!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Do you have any solution?

Thanks in advance,

i have changed max_allowed_packet in mysql (xamppmysqlbinmy.cnf) first it was max_allowed_packet=1 and i changed it to max_allowed_packet=32 and then 512... but i have the same results!!

Could you help me.. please?

what can I say? thanks a lot for your help..!

Please also change the mysql settings, the max_allowed_packet to 32M. I've installed this package 3 times on MAMP localhost and yes it takes some time on step 4 but there is no problem.

I did everything you said.... but nothing!

I also marked these:

(php_error_log)
"file:///C:/xampp/htdocs/eidisoula.gr/administrator/manifests/packages/pkg_joomla.xml" in C:\xampp\htdocs\eidisoula.gr\libraries\joomla\installer\installer.php on line 1891

[15-Apr-2013 13:26:20 UTC] PHP Warning: simplexml_load_file(): I/O warning : failed to load external entity

I also found this in mysql_error_log: highest supported file format is Barracuda.

At installer.php i tried to find the error on line 1891: $xml = simplexml_load_file($file);

Here is a small part of the code:
Is the XML file a valid Joomla installation manifest file.
*
* @param string $file An xmlfile path to check
*
* @return mixed A SimpleXMLElement, or null if the file failed to parse
*
* @since 11.1
*/
public function isManifest($file)
{
$xml = simplexml_load_file($file);

// If we cannot load the XML file return null
if (!$xml)
{
return null;
}

// Check for a valid XML root tag.
if ($xml->getName() != 'extension')
{
return null;
}

// Valid manifest file return the object
return $xml;
}

on line 2100:$xml = simplexml_load_file($path);
if (!$xml)
{
return false;
}

// Check for a valid XML root tag.

// Extensions use 'extension' as the root tag. Languages use 'metafile' instead

Hi,

I don't have web hosting services yet.... i work only on localhost! only in xampp... and when my site will be ready i'll start web hosting!!! Then how could you have access to my xampp server? Is it possible?

Do you think we could do sth via Team Viewer?

Our moderator KonradM test this istallation on Windows localhost and it goes fine, I'll ask him to compare the server configuration with your one.

Hi Thalia,

on my localhsot I'm using XAMPP 1.8.0 version and I have no issues with this quickstart. Please try use this version not 1.8.1 which you are using now.

Hi Konrad M,

It's very strange that you said!
At xampp 1.8.1 i have already done the quickstart installation for another template from your site!!!
gk news template (gk_news_quickstart_J!30.zip) and everything went fine!!!

You know.... i am trying very hard to find the solution for game news quickstart installation!
I am searching through sql and php code to find the answer..... but nothing yet!!!!!

So, now you suggest me to uninstall this version of xampp? and try to work with my sites on xampp 1.8.0?

Hi again,
Well, i did what you said but still the same problem!!!
You probably do something different....! i can't explain this.... you must have changed sth on settings of your localhost... that i haven't! I don't know!
rather I will quit this template!!!! I got tired!!!!!!! It should be easy like with the other templates!!!

thanks for your help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only differences between versions can be Joomla! version but what is more interesting is the fact that I can install on MAMP without any problems.
