Hi 

I've downloaded and followed all installation steps and clicked
"Install Mahara" on the local site. I now see the page "upgrade.php"

There is  a loading spinner that doesn't go away even after 4 hours at the first install item on the list, "core".

 

I then abort (refresh) the script and get the following error message:

 


 

 Could not execute command: CREATE TABLE config ( field VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, value TEXT, CONSTRAINT PRIMARY KEY (field) )ENGINE=innodb

Call stack (most recent first):
  • execute_sql("CREATE TABLE config ( field VARCHAR(255) NOT N...") at \xampp\htdocs\mahara\lib\dml.
  • execute_sql_arr(array(size 128)) at \xampp\htdocs\mahara\lib\ddl.
  • install_from_xmldb_file("\xampp\htdocs\mahara/lib/db/install.xml") atC:\xampp\htdocs\mahara\lib\upgrade.
  • upgrade_core(object(stdClass)) at \xampp\htdocs\mahara\admin\upgrade.json.php:78

 

 When I look in the database, 108 tables have been created, also with data in them.

So I think something went wrong.

 

Any advice?

 

Edit: As I am not allowed to post links, removed C: parts from above filesystem paths.

 - Could be some configuration issue with your XAMPP program. I have used that before and always had issues. Are you going to try a live install?
