Can't install quick start - error creating tables

Hi,
I'm trying to install the quickstart pack, but every time it starts creating tables (step 3) - I get back to step 2 with a huge error list (see attachment).
I searched and I read that "Display Errors on" could cause that king of error (even though being "off" is just a recommendation).
https://www.gavick.com/forums/rockwall-joomla3/problem-with-installation-25447.

However, my settings have "display errors" set to off. Nevertheless, I followed the instructions and added

Code: Select all

ini_set('display_errors', '0');

in installation/index.php

Still didn't work.

So, in a different directory, I tried to do a fresh installation of Joomla 3. Guess what? It shows "Display errors off"!!!!!
Finally, I tried to install, in another directory, a different gavick quickstart pack (events) and I got "display errors on"!
So clearly it's not a PHP miss configuration but something in the quickstart packs that is making display errors to be on!

How can I solve this?...

Well, I was finally able to change the display error to off.
Instead of using
"ini_set('display_errors','Off');"
I used
"ini_set('display_errors',0);"

But it didn't solved the installation problem, I still get the same list of errors and get back to step 2...

I'm so tired of trying to make this work.

After doing what is suggested in this conversation

https://www.gavick.com/forums/storefront-joomla3/quickstart-installation-on-my-server-keeps-failing-at-step-3-51138?p=256457&hilit=utf8mb4#p256457

I don't get the errors anymore but I still get back to step 2...

Finally it worked!!! I gave it another try without changing anything and it worked.

All posts in this conversation are mine, but maybe this could help someone with the same problem.

Summary:

1. I kept getting "display errors on" even in my php configuration it was off. So I solved it replacing in installation/index.php

Code: Select all

"ini_set('display_errors','Off');"

with

Code: Select all

"ini_set('display_errors',0);"


2. in installation/sql/mysql/joomla.sql I replaced

Code: Select all

"utf8mb4"

with

Code: Select all

"utf8"

That's it.

Hi

Ok. Thank You for shearing that. I must say it's not often to come across two issues in one thing, so congrats for figuring it out.
