I have a similar problem, although I get a less detailed error message:
I am installing PS 1.6.0.9 on my own server.
Config details : Linux "Wheezy" + nginx 1.2.1 + PHP 5.4.4 + mysql 5.5.38
Installation folder: /home/telz/www/
"telz" is the Unix account name, "www-data" is the group name for the web server (nginx):
I have a firewall on my server, but which allows outgoing connections, especially on standard ports.
I tried setting define('_PS_MODE_DEV_', true); in config/defines.inc.php, but I did not get any more meaningful error messages. Syslog is not giving anything. Googling the issue did not help either.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Yann
