Can't install Prestashop 1.7 on linux. Too many redirects error

[simoncarr]

I have just downloaded Prestashop.

 

I uploaded the zip file and unziped into my html folder.

 

I visit http://myserver.com/install and wait for about 40 seconds seeing the spinner in the tab, then I get the error.

ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

 

 

I have tried clearing cookies but still get the same problem. The installation starts fine on my windows WAMP server.

 

 

Update.

I just tried to install prestashop on another linux server and got the same problem. It looks like the current release of prestashop has a bug in it and does not support linux. I think I will have to look for some other eCommerce software that works on linux.

I think the issue might be related to the version of PHP and MySQL on your hosting environment.

I have a demo site that was created on Linux sever, it was working fine. By the way, below is OS info of our hostinig

 

Linux 3.12.65-20161020.132.ELK6.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Oct 20 23:36:20 CDT 2016 x86_64

 

The demo site is a multiple seller environment:  http://agileservex.com/demo1702/
