Sorry got busy, so have only just returned to this problem. By this time the current version is 1.7.0.4 Tried an install on my default development live host same symptoms as my post on the 11th November at the start of this thread. This time I did things a bit differently still cant use PHP 7 so have to make things work with PHP 5.6, as the fault showed up AFTER data-tables had been created at 12% installed I decided to try again on a different database same MySQL version but running from a different server. Pleased to report the install completed successfully, I had an issue with the htaccess file getting into the Shop Admin but that is my host and a known restriction which I fixed by editing the file. So I am pleased to report that I have a working installation of 1.7, and though there doesn't seem to be any difference between the MySQL versions, one is on an old server setup the other and the new database is according to the hosting company running on new servers. So it's a worthwhile thing to try its worked for me. I can now start to play with the new system and I don't have to wait for my hosts to provide PHP 7

Is it the same database you have used for WordPress? if so then go and look at the wordpress config file and double check the database settings are correct. If not can you get into the database with whatever admin system you are using? verify that the database is live and responding.

Step 4 I did directly in the database it's xx_shop_url table where xx is whatever prefix you have used (default ps) here you can set the domain, and the folder

Obviously I wouldn't upgrade clients live systems to a 0.0 untested release, but I would put it onto development sites so they could see it, after I have played of course. Been busy today, I will play when I can.

Thanks bellini13, I have read through the spec that it is PHP 7 compatible, but not found that PHP 7 is the minimum required, unfortunately the Documentation link from the install page (which says "PrestaShop compatibility with your system environment has been verified!" in a nice green box with a tick) .... goes to 1.6 requirements not 1.7 (not an issue, expected with a 0.0 release) I will keep at it for a short while, PHP 7 is an option, but my customers run a variety of software on their hosts and I can't jump them to PHP 7 just yet. So that will be a complete stop for me showing 1.7 to clients. though I will still set it up for me, wait for the 0.1 version and try again...

Hi I have had a number of tries to install this on my server, each fails at the same point. All database tables are created the slider bar reaches 12% with the text line 'Create database tables' in red. I have 213 tables created, last one is ps_zone_shop. Install is to a subdirectory of a site that has an up and running Prestashop 1.6 with an identical but empty MySQL database for the test of the new version. System is running PHP 5.6.20, I don't have edit access to the PHP.INI file, but it shows a 64M memory limit, and max_execution_time 60 which should be ample. Any suggestions?
