Installation error

[cakka]

I've just try to install revive.

But, I get this error message :

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'Unable to set current step. Unknown step: login' in C:\xampp\htdocs\revive\lib\OX\Admin\UI\Wizard.php:138 Stack trace: #0 C:\xampp\htdocs\revive\lib\OX\Admin\UI\Wizard.php(83): OX_Admin_UI_Wizard->setCurrentStep('login') #1 C:\xampp\htdocs\revive\lib\OX\Admin\UI\Install\Wizard.php(31): OX_Admin_UI_Wizard->__construct('install', Array, Object(OX_Admin_UI_SessionStorage)) #2 C:\xampp\htdocs\revive\lib\OX\Admin\UI\Install\InstallController.php(298): OX_Admin_UI_Install_Wizard->__construct(Object(OX_Admin_UI_Install_InstallStatus), 'login') #3 C:\xampp\htdocs\revive\lib\OX\Admin\UI\Controller\BaseController.php(94): OX_Admin_UI_Install_InstallController->loginAction() #4 C:\xampp\htdocs\revive\lib\OX\Admin\UI\Controller\BaseController.php(82): OX_Admin_UI_Controller_BaseController->execute('login') #5 C:\xampp\htdocs\revive\www\admin\install.php(41): OX_Admin_UI_Controller_BaseController->process(Object(OX_Admin_UI_Controller_Request)) #6 C:\xampp\htdocs\revive\www\adm in C:\xampp\htdocs\revive\lib\OX\Admin\UI\Wizard.php on line138

Please tell me know what is the problem and how to solve this...

Thank you...

You might want to provide some details, like which version, running on what system, and explain a little more as to what exactly "try to install" means...

(otherwise people have to guess...)

I was install on my localhost. 

I am using : Xampp + Windows 7 + latest version of revive ads

[acroch69]

I have this exact same issue.

Attempting to install for the first time on Windows 7, Postgres 9.3, php 5.6, apache 2.4 (using "LoadModule php5_module c:/php/php5apache2_4.dll"), Chrome Version 45.0.2454.101 m.

The database was created, created admin user account, then it tried installing plugins (which all appeared to fail according to the logs) then it spit out the error/stack about 'login'.

After attempting to hit the revive site locally again it prompts for a login but when I provide the admin account information and click submit I get an error stating "You need to enable cookies before you can use Revive Adserver".

My cookies are enabled and I get this same series of errors whether using Chrome or Firefox.

Any insights as I've spent hours trying to get this to work.

Thank you.

After banging my head against this for too many hours, I think I can describe the problem, and suggest a work around.

The fatal error in the installation from the OP ("Unable to set current step. Unknown step: login") is due to the plugins that are failing to install with the "Permissions error"; and the permissions error is because the automatic login as Admin has not worked.

In my original setup, I was running the server on my laptop as localhost:8080 and I noticed that the install was trying to set a cookie in domain 'localhost:8080' -  I believe the port number was causing a problem, and the cookie would not be returned in the next request, so the installation decides you are not logged in and not permitted to install the plugins.

This would also explain the errors we see about having to enable cookies, when cookies are working just fine...

To fix this I have done 2 things:

1.  set a 3 level domain name in my hosts file that points to 127.0.0.1 (ie revive.localhost.com)
2. stopped trying to use a port number, and just listen on port 80

Now a fresh install correctly sets a sessionId cookie in the domain '.revive.localhost.com', the plugins install fine, and I can actually login to the test server again.

Thanks for the info! 

I've raised a ticket: https://github.com/revive-adserver/revive-adserver/issues/639

Cool! Thanks.

The cookies are created, but the domain is set including the port number, ie 'localhost:8080'
I believe the correct behaviour is to not use the port, and just set the domain.
