Solved Installation process loops and won't stop

Installation process loops and won't stop was created by iamalive
Hi
Just updated to the latest Version but although everything claims to be OK (and the front end works fine) everytime I try to go to the Dashboard or any other part of Kuena, it restarts the installation process (see image attached).
I've tried reinstalling (with or without Akeeba) but no luck.
Any ideas?
Regards
David

Hi
Sadly, the paranoid owner hasn't given me access to the server's control panel.

I was wondering, if I uninstall Kuena, do I loose all the data in the tables? If not, I can try to uninstall the component and reinstall it, but I don't want to loose the data.

Regards
David

Same here --

Endless installation loop --

Thankfully on my non-production install (same server...)

Any thoughts or solutions?

Spoke too soon --

I think it was a caching issue.

Turned the caching OFF, cleared the CACHE and the
installer went through normally...

After around 7 attempts.

That is all. :laugh:

Hi
Clearing the Cache didn't work for me.

What I finally did was go to administrator/com_kunena and delete the install folder then reinstall the component and everything worked fine.

Glad to hear you got it sorted out.

If you did uninstall Kunena, the database will remain intact, so the data will not be lost.
Please read the FAQ.

Just did a couple of Kunena updates with CACHING OFF and it worked like a charm.

What is funny: I have 6 sites on one SERVER sharing the same MySQL rack --
and 4 out of 6 of them report when there is a Kunena update available...
and 2 do not.

No accounting for it.

Good work Kunena team! ;)

Just did another Kunena update one of my fussier installs --
AND WOW! What an ordeal. Needed to uninstall the INSTALL directory, clear the cache a couple of times AND THEN restore from a back up -- AND THEN the thing went into the install loop and finally after about 12 - 15 INSTALL circuits, it stuck...

PHEW that was stressful!

Attempting to update to 3.05

Experiencing more of the same troubles on my Test server --

Installation Loop.... over and over again...

Cleared caches... delete install folder in /admin dir

Try install again...

No luck --

Totally scared to attempt updates on any of my production servers.
