Install stuck at "Test Your Database"

[twinwolf]

Installing PrestaShop for the first time.   No errors along the way.   I get to the "Test Your Database" button and clicking it does nothing.   I get no response, no error message, nothing.   I am stuck on that page.

 

I have created the database and confirmed it with PHP MyAdmin.

 

Any advice or ideas?

At first you should share your configuration, versions of php, mysql, prestashop, os....
 

are you able to checking in the logs of your virtual machine ?

I currently have PrestaShop version 1.7.0.5.    I tried this same installation with PrestaShop version 1.6 and had the same issue.   I am unable to get any response from the Test Your Database page..

 

Current configuration is as follows:

 

Scientific Linux release 6.8 (Carbon)
kernel 2.6.32-042stab120.11

MySQL  Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.1.73, for redhat-linux-gnu (x86_64)

PHP Version 5.5.34

PHP.ini is visible at http://shop.biggestlittlekitchenstore.com/phpinfo.php

PHP using suPHP
All files owned by site admin user

----------------------------------------------from http.conf----------------
AddHandler cgi-wrapper .cgi
AddHandler cgi-wrapper .pl
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml
AddType text/html .shtml
suPHP_Engine on
suPHP_ConfigPath /home/sites/shop.biggestlittlekitchenstore.com
suPHP_AddHandler x-httpd-suphp
AddHandler x-httpd-suphp .php

I have complete access to the server and to this particular VPS.   The server logs show no errors.   Everything proceeds as expected until reaching the "Check Database" page.   Clicking the "Test Your Database" button does not do anything - no errors appear nor any sign that clicking the link has caused any action.

 

The database is setup and can be reached via PHP MyAdmin.

 

I need assistance on how to troubleshoot this further or a known solution.
