Question K 1.5.7 Installation issues

What kind of server are you running your website on? What was the result of the call to phpinfo()?

Is this it?

PHP Built on: Linux infong 2.4
Database Version: 5.0.81-log
Database Collation: utf8_general_ci
PHP Version: 5.2.12
Web Server: Apache
Web Server to PHP interface: cgi
Joomla! Version: Joomla! 1.5.15 Stable

Do you own it this Apache server? I mean, are you the one responsible for configuring PHP and Apache? Or are you obtaining the hosting service commercially. If you are using someone else's web hosting facilities, chances are you won't be able to change the PHP configuration in the way suggested earlier. But then again, maybe the problem isn't with the webhost? :S

Before we go down this rabbit-hole, your problem statement was no more than "I got this error, too." What was the specific error message? In other words, how do you know that this discussion topic is relevant to your current predicament, particularly when this topic is about Kunena 1.5.7 and you are having problems with K 1.5.9? :S That's what I meant when I suggested you read I have the same problem... .

No, I dont own it.. its from a commercial hosting service.

This is what shows up after installing it:

Installation: Successful

php version: 5.2.12 (Required >= 5.0.3)
mysql version: 5.0.81-log (Required > 4.1.19)


Here is the exact error I get when I try to access the Kunena Config from backend:

Your Kunena installation is incomplete!
Because of the above errors your Forum is now Offline and Forum Administration has been disabled.
Possible reasons for this error:
1) Kunena installation process has failed or timed out (try to install it again)
2) You have manually modified or removed some of the Kunena tables from your database

I have tried reinstalling it 3x and still getting the same error.

And yes, I am trying to install Kunena 1.5.9.
I even tried reinstalling the older version 1.0.11 and I still get the exact same error.

There are many useful tips contained in the documentation Wiki about installation timeout problems. I suggest you work your way through them. But there is no one solution to fit every possible problem scenario.

Although I doubt that you have manually changed the MySQL tables, your Joomla SQL database may be corrupted. Again, there's no one-size-fits-all solution for problems.

You may find other suggestions for getting the "Your Kunena installation is incomplete!" messages by searching the forum,.

In the meantime, to prevent the misuse of this discussion topic for problems relating to K 1.5.9, I am locking this topic in case others may be tempted to hijack it.

If you continue to have problems, and you are unable to find a solution, please start a new discussion topic relating to your specific problems. You may be assured that we will try to help you as best we can. Thank you ... and good luck.
