Help! Trying to install c5 on my laptop with no luck. I'm using XP windows home edition, sp3, with a measly 512K of memory. Maybe that's the problem.
Prior to install, I see this warning
Version Comparison Available
You must chmod 755 concrete/libraries/3rdparty/htmldiff.py and disable PHP safe mode.
ChMod on XP? huh? Not sure if I can fix that with this OS. And safe mode is NOT on.
After several minutes of nothing... I get nothing... no error messages... nothing... nada... zip... bubkiss...
What did I do wrong? Here is the ending url...
http://localhost/concrete/index.php/install/-/configure/...
Seems to connect with database and install 111 files, but then it just stops. Then I have to drop db and start all over. After doing this about a million times, I decided it was time to post something here and reach for a frosty beverage.
Did I do something wrong? Any advice? (besides get a new computer.)

i installed C5 on my 7 machine using xammp, and i know in the past iv installed it on my xp pro (i formated and upgraded) is it just a white screen?
I installed it and have been runnining it under WAMP on an XP virtual machine in VmWare, but that machine has plenty of RAM. I do recall seeing the message "Version Comparison Available
You must chmod 755 concrete/libraries/3rdparty/htmldiff.py and disable PHP safe mode."
I think that error message is misleading, pretty sure the real problem is that my XP machine doesn't have Python on it. But that's not an essential feature, do I didn't care. I don't know what to recommend, but if you have another machine with more RAM, that might be a good place to start...

the htmldiff is not a must, it's just optional. I'm surprised you get an error about this.. The error message is wrong, it tries to execute the file but your WAMP doesn't have python installed which will return the same as if it wasn't executable..
If there's not enough memory PHP will complain.

The link helped... at least now I'm getting an error message...
I used 127.0.0.1 instead of 'localhost'.
Does this look familiar to anyone?
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 120 seconds exceeded in C:\wamp\www\concrete\concrete\libraries\3rdparty\Zend\Cache\Backend\File.php on line 653

Without a stack trace, it's not too easy, but it looks like around line 248 of install.php the script is trying to clear the cache but it's hitting a php time limit after 120 seconds.
In this post someone got it to work by increasing the timeout, but 120 seconds seems like a lot...

Increased the max execution time in php ini but still no luck. Think I'll visit 'Free Geek' and see if adding some memory might help. Maybe talk to somebody.
This little lap top is way past it's prime and I suspect it just simply isn't up to the task.
Thanks all for your help.
