ok i didnt told you all :P

Also gave a few more files permision 777, but i didnt think it would make a difference. Maybe that is the clue (?)

Files that i gave permission 777:
- install.php
- .htaccess
- index.php
- mysite (folder)
- INSTALL
- rewritetest.php

Maybe try this?

See if you can get display_errors set to "On" in your PHP.ini (you might need to ask your host this one).

If it's set to Off you'll never know what the error is, which may be the reason why it just stalled and never provided any information why.

You can also check the Apache errors.log and access.log files, which your host should also provide. These should be populated with any PHP errors that may have occurred during SilverStripe installation.

Good luck!

Hmm... Ok, just tried setting permissions on those files to 777.

Sadly no change.

Will have to look into this PHP setting about "display errors"... perhaps there are errors, but I'm just not seeing them (how very unhelpful of the hosts to have it turned off).

Hi Sean,

Thanks for the input.

I have requested that the "display errors" be turned on. Host Support inform me that this has been done.

I've tried the installation process once again and nothing seems to have changed.

I am asking Hosting Support over the errors.log and access.log files.

Hello again,

Ok, I have been able to gain access to the v-server's error log (bearing in mind the the virtual server the domain is on houses 3 or 4 other domains too).

I repeated my attempt to perform the install process at 4.22pm, just prior to downloading the log - so I could see what specific errors were thrown up at that time.

The log for that time lists:

[Wed Apr 28 16:22:50 2010] [error] [client ::1] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /var/www/html/

This particular error is repeated several times during this week... I assume it's each time I'd tried the install. I'll post the whole list for this week (Mon, Tue and Wed) - don't know if they're all relevant.

Hi Sean (and anyone else who might be reading this),

Gentle thread nudge...

I've supplied the error log info (above). Is there something *obvious* within that information which might explain why my installer's not installing?

Thanks in advance.

Martin.

This means AllowOverride All isn't set. You may want to ask your host to provide you with this, since it's required for nice URLs to work!
