Caught In A Loop On Installation

[subirghosh]

I am trying to install Revive, but am caught in a loop.

 

Step 1 is fine.

 

Step 2 creates the problem. After entering the database details and hitting on continue I see the message "Installing database". And that's it. It goes back to Step 1 (Welcome).

 

I am not sure what I am doing wront. FYI, I have used both phpAdsNew and OpenX earlier.

 

Thanks.

Can anyone indicate me towards a direction?

 

Thanks!

Hi Subir,

Just check to folder permission(755).

In step 2, verify whether the database details you have provided are correct.

Hi Eliza:

 

* Database details are quite correct.

* Am not too sure about the folder permissions.

 

Under Section 5 of this page:

http://www.revive-adserver.com/support/installation/

 

In one of the first screens to be displayed, you will be instructed to modify the ‘permissions’ of several of the folders that were created in step 3 above. Each folder you will need to modify will be clearly indicated. The permissions needed are ’777?. Do NOT set all of the folders and files to these permissions, just the few files and folders indicated on the screen.

 

 

But the thing is that I am not able to reach this stage at all. Am caught in the first stage.

 

Therefore, I don't know which folders need to be 777 and which need to remain 755.

Can you please post details of your webserver log? We really need to know what pages are being hit over and over to understand more.

Hello , the same happens to me, there is no error in the logs, here are the latest entries:

is there a SQL Dump for the DB available so I can try to install manually?

 

Thank you

Installation with Win7/Chrome failed but using Firefox worked perfectly, i assume ther must be an incompatability with one of the chrome Plugins

Hi @webnomad,

Possibly an ad blocker - those will definitely prevent Revive Adserver from installing correctly.
