Installation fails
09 April 2014, 19:30
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
- 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?
