Won't install, redirects to admin main page
November 03, 2009, 06:35:45 am
Hi all -

I am attempting an install of CiviCRM 3.0.2 for Joomla (have also tried the Joomla alt version
and end up with the same results) and I don't get an error message per se. Rather, instead
of installing it just redirects me to the admin main page after a minute or two.

I've added the following three lines to my .htaccess file to no avail:

php_value memory_limit 64M
php_value register_globals off
php_value max_execution_time 600

Please advise. I am using Joomla 1.5.15 w/ PHP 5.x and mySQL 5

Thanks,

Cynthia

I've also tried earlier stable releases of CiviCRM that are compatible w/ mySQL 4.x with the
same results.

Very odd.

The site is being hosted on Dreamhost (client's choice, not mine) - don't know if this may
be a contributing factor or not.

Thx in advance,

Cynthia

we only support the latest version, so using older versions is definitely not recommended

dreamhost shared hosting is not recommended either. We do advise that folks spend a bit more money and get on a better hosting plan (preferably a VPS)
