    Stuck on step 2 during install



    it seems to connect to the db just fine, but gets stuck on 2, where do I look for the error log to see where it is stuck?

      no luck, been at it for over 2 hours with refreshing, etc

      F5 brings me back to the 'begin install' button.


      • Installing
      • Step 1 - Removing access table
      • Removing ad table
      • Removing adcriteria table
      • Removing adminhelp table
      • Removing administrator table
      • Removing adminlog table
      • Removing adminmessage table
      • Removing adminutil table
      • Removing announcement table
      • Removing announcementread table
      • Removing apiclient table
      • Removing apilog table
      • Removing attach table
      • Removing attachmentcategory table
      • Connection successful



      then it sits at Step 2 of 7, I'm hosted with dreamhost.

      $config['baseurl'] = 'http://nineforums.com';




      // This will only be used if you wish to require https logins
      // You will not need to change this setting most of the time.
      $config['baseurl_login'] = $config['baseurl'];


      // If you do wish to use https for login, uncomment this line
      // Then fill in your https url.
      //$config['baseurl_login'] = 'https://nineforums.com';

          Mine is doing the same, Step 2 - Creating access tables, been doing that for half an hour. I changed computers in case it was Windows 8, but this present one is Windows 7 and now still creating access table an hour later.

          New download of vb.

            I removed all files, redownloaded vb 5 from my windows 7 box, reconfigured the config files, sent all new files over to dreamhost - got the same thing on getting stuck on step 2.

              I shall have another go on a laptop today. New download, do the changes and if it happens again, I will put in a ticket.

              It would be nice to have some official suggestions?

                    Can anyone else confirm if it always stops on the bbcode table? (View your database after the install fails and see what the last table to make it was)

                    Are you all on Dreamhost?

                    These are the reasons it is in Beta- to get this stuff sorted before a Gold release.

                      no, it doesn't stop at bbcode table.
