Question server 500 timeout on install

didn't quite work for me. I changed all the jos_ to j15_ to match my database. I'm experimenting locally to try and migrate my site to J1.5.

So there's no way to install Kunena thru the Joomla Installer??? Since we are getting the same server 500 timeout. We had Kunena 1.5.5 installed and tried to upgrade it to the latest version and it didn't installed correcty and 1.5.5 isn't working either!!!

What do we have to do?

For most systems it installs just fine by using Joomla installer. But Joomla installer is very slow and may cause timeouts.

The only way to install Kunena automatically in those systems is to copy it to joomla tmp directory and install it from there.

We are fixing this for Kunena 1.6 by splitting installation into multiple stages as upgrading it from K1.5 is relatively slow process.

Hello Mathias,

the problem seems also to the number extensions installed after my latest installations.

On a site with CB, it's bad every time, but in a install virgin ... no problems, so there is interaction with the extensions installed in addition to Joomla, it's guaranteed ... joomla is not necessarily relevant for this problem

I've tried to benchmark Kunena installation and about 90% of the time is spent by Joomla installer, not by Kunena installer (which finishes in 8 seconds in my system). I think that the fault is in FTP mode, as copying files over FTP is slow compared to unzip and move.
