Question Installation wont complete

Hi all,

I am trying to install kunena 1.0.10 on:
joomla 1.5.10 site
Apache/2.2.3 (Debian) PHP/5.2.0-8+etch13
MySQL client version: 5.0.32
PHP extension: mysql


However i am not able to succesfully complete the installation.

I have unpacked the .zip file locally and uploaded to the /tmp directory.
When i try to install it the page status just keeps on "waiting for [website]" and on the tab of my firefox explorer it stays in "Loading.."

When i stop the page and check the database i can see that there are 4 tables created
- .._fb_version
- .._fb_groups
- .._fb_config
- .._fb_ranks

I once received the timeout message when installing it with the upload and install option from joomla (.zip) which said that the timeout was set at 300sec but now i dont receive this msg.

It just keeps "Loading.." and "Waiting for [website]"

What is the best thing for me to do ? Should i just wait for it to complete ?
How long should it normally take to install from directory?

Greetings and thanks for any reply,

Robert

Hi all,

After 15 mins the joomla back-end is now still "waiting for the website" and remains "Loading".

Please continue this discussion in 1.0.10 area if you have installed it.

BTW: your installation has failed. You have missing version table, so you must have new installation. Please look at this:

* Uninstall Kunena Forum
* Remove all kunena tables (jos_fb_*) by using phpMyAdmin or similar tool
* Install newest version

Did it succeed without error messages?

This was the reply i received on my first installation which wasnt succesfull also.
So i did the actions Matias had suggested and now i am encountering the behaviour as explained.

The installation should be done after about 30 seconds.

Matias already described the right way to install, if you get the zip-installer-timeout.

You have to delete these folders first (if they exist):
administrator/components/com_kunena
components/com_kunena

Then drop all jos_fb_* tables.

Otherwise increase your php-timeout from 30 to 120 seconds.

Hi skilless,
Thanks for your reply, However I don't think that you have read my post good enough..

- I have uninstalled Kunena
- I have dropped all _fb_ tables
- I do not get the zip-installer-timeout

I am trying to install it from the /tmp folder but it just keeps waiting and loading..

Greetings

I read your post
If this does not work, you have just another option as I posted: increase php-timeout

Just got of the phone with my hosting company.
I am not able to increase the php-timeout and they wont change it either.

I don't think this is the problem to be honest. Because i was able to install it previously but with errors..

At this point i can't even finalize the installation succesfully or unsuccesfully.


[ - UPDATE - ]

I can see that the installation only creates 3/4 tables and than it goes in idle or something..

[ - UPDATE - ]

When i stop the installation that keeps "Loading" and "Waiting for website" and look at installed components i can see kunena.
If I than look at my sql database i can see only 3 " fp_ " tables:
- fp_groups
- fp_ranks
- fp_version

If i than uninstall the component kunena and try to re-install (without removing the database tables) the installations is "succesfully" completed in a blink..

However i can still see only 3 tables in my database which is not good..
(i am missing tables like "fp_messages, fp_announcements, fp_favourites, fp_config etc.)

Where can i find the sql queries so i can maybe manually create the remaining tables ?
Or is there maybe some1 that can provide me a solution so i can install kunena the normal way ?

Greetings,

Robert
