Merged K 3.0.0b1 Installation stalls

Hi

I have tried the Kunena 3.0.0 beta upgrade on a copy of my live live site.
The copy runs on a PC using Microsoft WebMatrix with Joomla 2.5.9.

The upload works fine, but then it us stuck on the Installing Kunena section at "preparing installation as shown in the image below.There are no details shown from the "details" button

If I cancel and go to the Kunena component from the backend the same process runs again with the same results. This means I cannot attach a config report.

I can find no log files to show what progress has been made or what it is stuck on.

Sorry it sis not very helpful for a first post, but where should I look to find more diagnostics?

Subject says it all really.

* On install I got an empty popup and it hung.
* Manually closed the popup and the general Joomla admin continued to work normally.
* Went to Components>Kunena Forum and all links failed with page execution errors.
* Went to System>Clear Cache and cleared the cache. Installation then completed and everything works fine.

Thanks for releasing this BETA for us on J3.0 to test.

Go to System>Clear Cache and cleared the cache.

Then try again.

Thanks for the report.

Other user have the same issue. I ask him do the same.
If he has the same issue. Then we can look at the problem.

No doubt, other people will encounter this problem.

Tried this again today but with clearing the cache before install.

Hit the same issue which could possibly be client side with chrome blocking popups. Chrome version is 26.0.1410.43 m.

I noticed the thread on HTTP Error 500, get the same errors with this issue, here are some more details and screenshots.

1. Cleared the Cache
2. Install v3.0.0 BETA 1
3. Install stalls with empty popup (although states installed in the background)
   
   
4. Try to access any kunena menu results in HTTP Error 500
   
   
5. Clear the cache again, go to Components>Kunena Forums and the install completes
   
   
6. go to Components>Kunena Forums again and it's in a working state
