Installation Problems with 5.7.0.3

Permalink
I'm currently trying to setup the new Concrete 5.7.0.3 on my local XAMPP Server for testing and development purpose. The Pre-Installation check returns no errors and tells me that I have all the required specs in place. When I start the installation it will run for about 3/4 of the bar and then abort with the following error:

#0 B:\xampp\htdocs\kltz\concrete\vendor\doctrine\dbal\lib\Doctrine\DBAL\Connection.php(702): Doctrine\DBAL\DBALException::driverExceptionDuringQuery(Object(PDOException), 'alter table Que...', Array)

Any advise how to solve this?

Hi, if it helps, I got this same error 3 times trying to do a new installation when ticking the option to use the example content.
I have tried tried again without the example content and the install completed fine.

I tried it with both options, error stays the same. Going to install it on other machines now and see if it works in a different environment.

Hi!

Xamp or Wamp is a bad idea!

concrete5 is middleware. It was designed for a LAMP stack but works on Windows webservers running IIS and PHP as well. Check out the System Requirements page for more detailed information.
It is NOT a desktop application you run on your local computer to design a website. If you're comfortable configuring webservers and you want a great free CMS to tinker with, download away. If you're ready to get started with a fully hosted copy of concrete5, check out this hosting provider offering easy installation options.

Don't worry, I don't want to run a live site with xampp. ;) I just want to have a local installation for fiddling arround and development on my laptop without working remotely on the servers in my office or the production systems.

PS: Installation on ubuntu server worked fine! But I would still love to get this working on xampp...

It should definitely be installable via Xampp or WAMP – but we don't really run those platforms in house so we haven't had a chance to make sure it works 100%. If we can get some more details as to why these errors are happening we will try and correct them as quickly as possible for the next release.

I have no idea what's going on with your XAMPP install but I installed 5.7.0.3 on Windows 7 64-bit WAMP today without any trouble.
