- it looks like database user does not exist (?)

- what host(db/www) software you use in your environment ?

Correct. The installer expects a running database server and an existing user. Ideally an empty, but existing database, too. There's even a "Test MySQL connection" button to check this.

SOLVED

 

The fail was in host server - not work under localhost (socket), I had to change to another host server and instalation was correctly.

As this is is the most relevant discussion, also if it is not really the same issue, I'm posting here: how can I start the installation procedure?

 

I've also opened a question on StackOverflow about this explaining the steps I followed: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/39366294/how-to-install-prestashop-1-7-rc0-from-composer

 

The problem is that I cannot enter the setup procedure at all, I don't know the correct link o.O In theory I should go to http://localhost/path/to/prestashop/ and the procedure should show up, but it doesn't...

 

Any advices on this? Thank you...

Uhm, unpack the distribution file (twice, it's a zipped ZIP), then directing the browser to it (or index.php)? This should work. No need to mess with composer, webpack or whatever.

 

If you get just a blank page, well, that's considered to be a user failure: http://forge.prestashop.com/browse/PSCSX-8212 (once reported as bug)

 

So far I found quite a number of causes for blank pages: various missing directories, various missing PHP modules. In some cases I couldn't find the reason, but clearing the cache on the command line helped.

 

My current clear-cache command:

(
  cd /path/to/shop
  find cache -type f ! -name index.php ! -name activity ! -name trends \
    ! -name deprecated.txt -delete
  find app/cache -type f ! -name index.php -delete
  # Cleaning empty dirs is crucial.
  find cache -depth -type d -exec rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty {} \;
  find app/cache -depth -type d -exec rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty {} \;
)
