Installation Error, site_install.php not created

Permalink
After rebuilding apache with PHP PDO enabled, creating a php.ini in the site root to increase the memory limit to 128M, going back to that php.ini again to re-enable PDO (which somehow was disabled by adding the php.ini), I am stuck on another installation error, which I would imagine should be pretty straight forward..

{"error":{"type":"Whoops\\Exception\\ErrorException","message":"Concrete\\Controller\\Install::run_routine(): Failed opening required '\/home\/*****\/public_html\/application\/config\/site_install.php' (include_path='\/home\/*****\/public_html\/concrete\/vendor:.:\/usr\/local\/lib\/php')","file":"\/concrete\/controllers\/install.php","line":231},"errors":["Concrete\\Controller\\Install::run_routine(): Failed opening required '\/home\/*****\/public_html\/application\/config\/site_install.php' (include_path='\/home\/*****\/public_html\/concrete\/vendor:.:\/usr\/local\/lib\/php')"]}


It can't access the site_install.php file, because it doesn't exist. Initial thoughts would be permissions problems didn't let the installer create the file, but permissions are all 0755, and the installer created the /application/config/generated_overrides/concrete.php file just fine.

Here are the contents of my override php.ini :

memory_limit = 128M
extension=pdo.so
extension=pdo_sqlite.so
extension=sqlite.so
extension=pdo_mysql.so


This is on a VPS, so I thought this would be a little less painful. I'm sure it's something simple. anyone have ideas?

Did you manage to fix this?

I am having the same issue when using the development version

I had the same problem when using install-concrete5.php, site_install.php was missing.

The culprit was that an old database already existed, which resulted in this seemingly unrelated error. After dropping and creating an empty DB, everything worked fine. Hope this helps someone.

I am still having this problem with the latest version, 5.7.5.8, and I started with a clean database.

The folks at iPage fixed it by installing the website without the sample data... which isn't exactly what I wanted, but oh well...
