Joomla Quickstart Stuck Halfway

27 Sep Joomla Quickstart Stuck Halfway

This morning, I tried to install Joomla quickstart for a client and the installation get stuck halfway. I tried several suggestions online but to no avail. Gracefully I get it sorted out and here are the steps I took to solve the issue:

1. Increased max_execution_time from 30 to 3000 in the php.ini
2. Increased memory_limit from 128M to 256M in the php.ini
3. Changed “ENGINE=InnoDB” to “ENGINE=MyIsam” both in the Joomla.sql and sample_data.sql. The 2 files can be found in the following path: \Your joomla folder\installation\sql\mysql
4. Open “index.php” file in Joomla installation” folder and add “set_time_limit(3000)” line after “define(‘_JEXEC’,1);”

I hope this useful…
