Hi all,
I am trying to upload Panacea RocketLauncher to my local host (XAMPP) to mess around and potentially build a new website. Everytime I try the installation hangs up at installing sample data. I have waited for
How long does this step ordinarily take? What should I do to fix it/What may I be doing wrong?
Another bit of information, I had to change the php engine from InnoDB to myIsam to get databases to work on my local host previously (and I have done the same for this install). I also increased the max execution time in the php.ini from 30 to 60 but no luck.
Thank you for any advice/comments/help.
Steve

Hi Steve
and welcome to the forumsThis image is hidden for guests.
Please log in or register to see it.
At one post in it's hard to judge your experience level so I'm starting at the beginning. Have you seen this guide -> http://docs.joomla.org/Configuring_a_XAMPP_server_for_joomla_development ?
Make sure your php.ini file ends up with this setting -> Admin -> Site or System -> System Information -> PHP Settings -> Magic Quotes = OFF
Also find the line with - max_execution_time=30 and change 30 to 300.

- Thanks for the quick reply Dan. I made these changes and still seems to lock up. Should this take longer than 10-20 min?

- I noticed the complete file size is around 40 MB. I would not expect it to take too long to upload onto local but not sure.

- I am a novice to CMS and joomla, but have successfully installed xampp and gotten free templates and a joomla 3 install to work. I read over the guide and it looks basically like what I did. Thank you for your advice.

- I also checked and it looks like the database has been populated.

There maybe a real EASY solution here:
Tried Xampp - didn't like it
Then WAMP - much better
NOW Mamp for Windows - the best

MAMP didn't work out, but WAMP did the trick. Everything is now working on my local server.
Thanks again Dan, your help has been greatly appreciated.
