Concrete 5.6.1.2 Hangs on install
Permalink
Dear Folks,
I have been trying to install concrete 5 for the last week on my local machine. It is Windows 7 64 bit and I am using wampserver 2.2
I saw one article about increasing the runtime from 90 to 180 (dont know what this is or how to do it) The install always hangs on Installing dashboard at exactly the same place going by the progress bar. I am not familiar with php, sqls etc. So please place your answers in basic english please.

Hi exchangecore
Thank you for your reply. I do not know where to change this setting. I am totally clueless about sql speak apache etc. can you inform me how to do this please. It is installing to innodb as you highlighted going by the tables it does create

I had the same issue and using the fix exchangecore mentioned worked for me.
You said you are using wamp, so if you left-click the wamp icon in your system tray, then go to MySQL and click my.ini it will open the configuration file. Then you can do a ctrl+f and find the default_storage_engine setting and set it to MyISAM. If it doesn't exist just add it under the [wampmysqld] heading.
Also, I'm not sure if this matters or not, but I set it to:
(dashes instead of underscores)

Thanks BBeng and Exchangecore
your bit of information was indeed useful BBeng yes you do need to add it under that line of text [wampmysqld]. I could not find the exact line as it is not listed in newer versions of MySql. Also I increased the run time to 180 as mentioned in other posts.
Now That I have it installed how can i use it to view companys website which was built using concrete. I already have an ftp download of the website sitting on my c drive

If you already had a copy of the site you shouldn't have needed to do a fresh install. You just copy the site into your wamp/www folder then you'll have to import the database. If you have a MySQL dump of the database you should be able to just import it into your wamp MySQL database.
Here is an article that goes over how you can move a Concrete5 site:

Hi bbeng89,
sorry to be a bother but I do not fully understand this. I downloaded a copy of my companys website through filezilla. I found out there that the website was built using concrete hence downloading the cms. Now as i said i have downloaded all files folders associated with the website but how do I know or check for the database. I did place the folders in c:/wamp/www but it would never work out for me.

He means all you would of needed to do was move over the files since concrete5 is already installed on your old site.
As for the database, just like on the document that was linked, run this from your terminal or ssh:
You will get a dump file. Copy that database dump over to your new server and run:
Should be good to go after that

mysqldump -u db_user -p db_database > database.sql
You will get a dump file. Copy that database dump over to your new server and run:
mysql -u db_user -p database_name < old_database.sql
Should be good to go after that
