posedos Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) I've been struggling with this issue for over a week now. At first I was trying to create a clone of a existing prestashop installation which I have done before and got some weird errors, but now I am stuck on installing a new prestashop. I tried installing 1.5.6.0 and after failing to do so, I tried 1.6.0.9. During both installations at the last step, when the automated installation process starts, it crashes on 0% while "Creating settings.inc file." I know this is not a file permission issue because after the first try, a gave my www folder (and sub folders) all (777) access. Also could not find any clear explanation through Google. Has anyone else experienced this? Can I somehow at least get a normal error output rather than this user-friendly one? P.S. It also seemed odd, that in step "Configure your database," after I click "Test your database connection now!" it creates a ps_test table in the database, that prevents continuing of the installation and notifies me "Table 'ps_test' already exists" Edited August 8, 2014 by posedos (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestaHeroes USA Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 is this a godaddy shared hosting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
posedos Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 No. This on a private/local machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestaHeroes USA Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 at some point of your choosing, config/defines.inc.php define('_PS_MODE_DEV_', true); set to true turn off when done possibly get you an error code and as this is on localhost, then difficult to diagnose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
posedos Posted August 10, 2014 Author Share Posted August 10, 2014 So, setting the development mode didn't help at all. I don't seem to get any additional error info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestaHeroes USA Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 you may be better severed running on a remote host given these issues installing locally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
posedos Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 I have a remote hosting, bet I would like to develop and test features on a local machine because I cannot run Git on the host. Though it seems like I'm out of options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

posedos Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 I don't use phpmyadmin. I use Emma (GUI for MySql on Linux). But the database connection is fine, if that's what you're wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyboy1 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Could you not just delete the table "ps_test" then try installing again ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if you had any other programs running on your localhost, please note we do not know anything about your environment or your skill level, so we have to start with basic questions, just as boring for us as you. run a wp/joomla/drupal or any other cms on your localhost? have you ever installed ps on your localhost? as it is now we are notdebugging prestashop but your server environment. maybe post a phpinfo.

posedos Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) I am not runny any other CMS. Yes, I have installed prestashop on localhost before. My HDD died, so I had to do a clean isntall. I am running Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon. My best guess is that something is actually missing somewhere, because Mint does not come with apache or php pre-installed.

PrestaHeroes USA Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 you will need to debug your environment, i.e. look in Apache log etc. there is probably an associated forum for your sfw that may better be able to help you with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
posedos Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 Yeah, I'm no beginner. I took a look at the apache logs yet they did not contain any infofmation at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

posedos Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) So I accidentally found out what was causing the problem. Whilst trying to install composer, I got notified that php5-ci package is missing. After installing php5-cli, I got through the prestashop installation.
