CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I am attempting to install civicrm 3.1.5 on Drupal 6.17. I have input all my database information and got all "GREEN" to go ahead with the install but then the next page is just stuck at this message for hours.... no error message or anything, just this:

Installing CiviCRM...

I am now running through the installation steps (this should take a few minutes)

If you receive a fatal error, refresh this page to continue the installation

Building database schema and setup files...

I have logged into Drupal and I don't see Civicrm there. What can I do the debug this further or understand what went wrong? Log files???

Where are the error logs?

I am using SQL 5.0 from GoDaddy -- Not sure they support INNODB but I would think so? I will try to find out.

I understand... but for now I'd like to see the error log from the CiviCRM installer -- where is that located? or is there a such thing? All I see is "Building database schema and setup files..."  and nothing else below it. Where else can I look?

I can confirm that it support INNODB....

I've tried the install a number of times -- I even check the webserver error logs and I do not see any error messages regarding the database or civiCRM at all.

It just stalls at "building database schema and setup files..."

If I attempt to login Drupal Admin, I can see CiviCRM 3.1 module listed and when I enable the module, it returns bunch of error including saying that the civicrm_setting.php file has not been created....

BTW I have had successful install with CiviCRM 2.x in the past on the very same web hosting I am using now.....

Thanks!! That did work.

So, if anyone runs into the same problem. Just know that Installing a clean CiviCRM 2.2 and then upgrading it to 3.2 worked without any problems as opposed to a clean 3.2 install.
