Fashion template Quickstart installation problem

Hey, i am unable to use the j3 quickstart installation for this template. I get through the first two screens and then when I hit "install" the bar hangs for a bit and then bounces back to the previous screen. I have tried installing directly on my hosting account and on my own local server and the same thing happens. Both systems are successfully running other joomla 3 sites so I'm pretty sure my setup is correct.

Please try to re-download package maybe the file is corrupted. Do you have any possibility to test package on localhost to make sure that it is not host issue ?

the same problem

Is there any way that you provide me details to your FTP server, database etc so I can try to install this quickstart package for you ?

I have the same problem. How can i fix this?

You can check several things, first of all your PHP version, maximum database query limit and for sure re-download package again to avoid corrupted files problem.

Hi bkrztuk

- PHP is ok
- I re-downloaded, unpacked and retrasferred the package via ftp
- When the installation starts, it creates and fills 72 tables in sql

I cannot say where the installation script stops, but no joomla config file is generated.

Any other advice? Where can I check the maximum database query limit and what is the minimum.

Regards

Please ask your hosting provider about maximum sql query limit because it looks like only part of SQL insert is done.

By checking the sql code I noticed that all tables were created and filled.

By creating manually the joomla config file it worked. So I assume the quickinstallation was not able to crate this file automatically.

Yes and it can be cause by maximum query size in your server configuraiton. Quickstart package create tables and insert all during installation process, by default only tables are created but you don't have such amount of demo content in typical Joomla! installation.

Did anybody find the cause of this error? I’m running into the same issue. Hosting is rochenhost and I have other Joomla 3 sites running without incident.

Did you install on this hosting some quickstart package before ?

Hallo,

I have the same issue. Tried it on a fresh xxamp install but quick start install (of content) stops, no messages.

Jan

I got the same issue...

vedig? How did you solve this?

Any success with this issue? I've got the same problem. I haven't any problems with another quickstart installations on this server.

Can someone provide me access to server with uploaded package ?

I just provided you access to my server.. Check your inbox.

Additional info, quickstart install for Joomla 2.5 version works fine, quickstart for Joomla version 3 doesn't work and same issues as stated previously. The db tables are created but no sample info inserted then bounced back to previous install screen. I would think the query #'s between v2.5 and v3.0 although not exact would be similar? Therefore eliminating the maximum db query limit cause?

My hosting provider just responded to me with;
"If you can provide a specific MySQL error, we may be able to provide more details. I can tell you that your account is limited to 25 concurrent MySQL connections, that the server closes inactive connections after 1 minute, and that each individual query should be 1MB or less."

Any news on this issue?

Any news on this issue?

I've just installed this package on my localhost, please look >> http://d.pr/i/EDau so please try to re-download file or test on another hosting. It can be related with maximum db query which you can check in server settings or ask your service provider to increase this value.

So why then everybody has problems with this? I just installed Magazine and League news on the same server and everything is working properly....

This is not a solution for us..

The database import is bigger in this template because of more demo content. Please increase maximum query size and package should install without any problems. I've tested it on localhost.

Can you please tell me how to do that.

You need to contact with your hosting provide to change this settings. Please increase memory_limit in PHP settings and max_allowed_packet in mySQL configuration.

bkrztuk, what is the recommended setting for these parameters?
memory_limit in PHP settings
max_allowed_packet in mySQL configuration.

I run into the same problem.
My max_allowed_packet is set on 16777216 currently.

I also set my memory limit to 128MB via htaccess file. Still no luck with installation

128MB via htaccess file

You need to change this values in php.ini settings. Please set upload_max_filesize to 128M and max_allowed_packet to 128M.

My provider spent half a day on this issue, without success. All possible involved parameter were tested.
Finally, we decided to install a fresh joomla 3.0.
It looks like the quick start is buggy, I have no other explanation

The clean template istallation is working fine ? Did you try to make test with other quickstart package ? I'm asking because I have this fashion template installed on localhost and there are no problems.

Today I installed XAMPP locally with only apache and mysql. I copied the quickstart and started the install.
Same issue.

What software do you propose to get this working locally?

Could you provide me php error log and mysql log ? If this happen on XAMPP you have access to this files.

I have tried it with WAMP and XAMP, on different computers, but are still not able to install the Fashion Quickstart. I can provide any log you want.
I will PM to you.

I was not able to attach files via PM, so I try it again.
Attached my error log of PHP and SQL.

I have no clue why it is still not working.

Any ideas?

An alternative would be if you send me the SQL-file seperately, so I can import it manually. I can do a clean Joomla install without sample data and then inject the SQL. Or not?

I GOT IT WORKING!!!
And what was it, I had my php Display_errors on, while it must be Off to reach the completion.

I hope this message can help a lot of members!

The solution about disabling display_erorrs option was mentioned many time at this forum. Please note that also Joomla! recommend this setting.
