Issue installing the script

Permalink
OK so i have some issues installing the software. I have tried installing this software on my localhost both with the sample data and without.

But once it gets to "installing dashboard" it runs endlessly. Today with sample data i was stuck at "installing dashboard" for 6-7hours and it didnt move.

My localhost is the latest version of 32bit WAMP.

My specs on my localhost are: 

PHP 5.2   
   JavaScript Enabled   
   MySQL Available   
   Supports concrete5 request URLs   
   Image Manipulation Available   
   XML Support   
   Writable Files and Configuration Directories   
   Cookies Enabled   
Testing Optional Items
   Remote File Importing Available


All those passed with a green check mark. But the installation goes on forever once it gets to "installing dashboard".

So how can i install this and test it out on my localhost and what not before i even think about making it live if i cant even get past the installation??

Would be nice to have this issue fixed so i can actually run a test on my own server before i decide if im going to use it live.

Thanks

Thank you so much, That thread gave me the idea to look in and switch the database over to Mysiam.

Of course i had to do some research and found a method that didnt work for anyone else but it worked for me.

The method. Start your WAMP server then left click the tray icon. Go to Mysql and then into the my.ini

Under [wampmysqld]

You should see:

port = 3306
socket = /tmp/mysql.sock
key_buffer = 16M
max_allowed_packet = 1M
table_cache = 64
sort_buffer_size = 512K
net_buffer_length = 8K
read_buffer_size = 256K
read_rnd_buffer_size = 512K
myisam_sort_buffer_size = 8M
basedir=c:/wamp/bin/mysql/mysql5.5.24
log-error=c:/wamp/logs/mysql.log
datadir=c:/wamp/bin/mysql/mysql5.5.24/data

Or something similar. After
datadir=c:/wamp/bin/mysql/mysql5.5.24/data

Just add this in.

default-storage-engine = MyISAM

Then EXIT THE WAMP SERVER. Safe the ini file multiple times just to be safe. Re launch the WAMP server and the install works.

Thats how i switched to MyISAM.
