Stuck at Step 9

[timtrace]

Greetings, first post!

I've made it through the new install wizard to step #9 but can get no further. Please help.

I've entered a new username and password and email address, but when I click Next Step, the screen refreshes and all the text boxes are again blank. No errors are displayed in the browser. If I examine the database, the new user is created in table cpg15x_users. At this point I can enter unique values, click Next Step, and another new user is created in cpg15x_users ... but as before the browser refreshes to step 9 with the text boxes blank.

What's likely going on?

This is gpc1.5.34 on a Synology 415+ appliance running DSM 5.1-5022 Update 3. I've installed PHP 5.5.21, MariaDB 5.5.41 and phpMyAdmin 4.3.0.

Thank you!

I should add that there seems to be no way to move forward in the wizard other than to click "Next Step."

Have you tried a browser with a dev tools console? If not try that and see if an error occurs.

Thanks, Jeff. I don't see any errors in the Chrome console. I see, "Navigated to http://[xxxx]/cpg/install.php?step=10" (where [xxxx] is the appliance hostname). But clearly I am not passed onward to step 10.

I'm going to have a go with another browser to see if anything changes. Back in a few.

Would you mind providing the link even though it isn't live yet?

If you can't post the link for whatever reason you can try to manually lock the config if your admin user has been added to the database.

Alright, I got the same results with Firefox as with Chrome. But finally I decided to hack the URL, because if my admin user is being created then I must be nearly done with the script, yes?

So I entered http://[xxxx]/cpg/install.php?step=11 in the browser address bar, and voila, there we go!

Jeff, do I have anything to worry about having completed the wizard this way?

Not that I can think of.
As long as your root url goes to the index and not the install. If it goes to the install you will still need to create the include/config.inc.php

We're all good. Thank you very much!
