Can't install drupal 7.24 using MAMP on OSX Mavericks - macos

I am trying to install drupal 7.24 using MAMP on OS X Mavericks.
I have installed drupal using MAMP hundreds of times before.
I am able to unpack the drupal core files into /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/drupal.
I am able to pull up the install.php at localhost:8888/drupal/.
I create my database using the phpmyadmin with MAMP.
I go to install drupal, enter in my databse information with user:root and pass:root.
Here is where my issue comes in. The tables are created fine in the database, however, the install script loops back to the first step. I continue through again and it asks me to enter database information again. At which point, I do, and the same issue occurs. Randomly it will let me through to set up my site with a drupal error of "No active batch."
I have tested an install of drupal 7.24 on another server with no issues. The only thing different is that I have upgraded to OSX Mavericks. I have tried installing drupal using MAMP now on two different Macbook Pros running Mavericks and have had the same exact issue.
I have google'd this issue but can't seem to find similar issues. I will keep looking. If you have any ideas as to what would be causing the drupal install to fail, it would be much appreciated. Until then, I will use Acquia.
Thanks!

I had the same exact issue yesterday and couldn't figure this out for hours. Today I was able to successfully get past the loop back problem you describe above. I cannot say exactly what the root cause of this issue is but it seems to be a display/timing issue.
Once you enter in the database creds and click submit, the loop back to step one occurs. DO NOT re-enter the database creds here. At this point you can do one of the following:
Wait for about 20 seconds and hit 'control' + 'R'
Continuously hit 'control' + 'R' (refresh) until the page moves forward to the installation loader.
You will see the modules being installed. Then it will show you completed. Let me know if this works for you.

The instructions above worked for me. I waited for about 1 minute after I got stuck and pressed CMD + R to refresh the page. The module installation process begun (saw the progress bar) and Drupal was successfully installed.

Mailhog not receiving mail with Warden/Magento2 setup

I followed the steps at https://docs.warden.dev/environments/magento2.html to setup a magento2 environment and followed the instructions exactly. However, I'm not seeing any emails come through to MailHog when I do things like create a customer account from the Magento frontend or submit a customer Forgot Password request.
I've tried on 2 separate computers (both Macbook Pro 2021 M1's) and got the same results. How do I fix this? Alternatively, does anyone have any suggestions on how to debug the issue?
I never determined why this issue was happening, but I did find a solution. I uninstalled Warden which I had previously installed via brew per the Warden docs. I then installed the multi-arch fork instead which is available at https://github.com/drpayyne/warden-multi-arch and magically all my issues disappeared including other problems I was experiencing like ElasticSearch only working sporadically and some Magento modules pulling the wrong file paths.
Since then everything seems to be working flawlessly on both machines. 🥳
I should also note that things run significantly faster as well.

TYPO3 installation issue on Mamp

trying to install the latest version of TYPO3 vers. 10.4 on my local machine. I am on a Mac and the local server is set up with Mamp Pro. Database is MySQL.
I am following this tutorial: https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/guide-installation/master/en-us/QuickInstall/Composer/Index.html
I am getting to step 4 out 5. Manage to connect to the database, but it seems like it's freezing up at step 4. After a long while waiting, I then tried to refresh the browser. That's a success - getting to the final step. But I can't login with the username and password, that was just created. Then I tried to look in the Database, and there are no BE users. So it would seem like the installation is not complete.
Can you guys tell me, what I am missing here or doing wrong? Or perhaps others with a similar issue, that managed to solve this.
As described in this question, I had the same problem last year. I have just tested a fresh setup of TYPO3 10.4.1 without problems on my Mac with MAMP 5.5.
Since last year I have updated my MAMP. So I guess, that MAMP 5.5 is fixing this issue.

How to remove a file that cannot be located

I'm trying to learn MySQL for a database course in which we use MAMP to set up the server. Everything was fine at first, but a few days ago I couldn't connect to MySQL with MAMP. In trying to solve this I removed both MAMP and MAMP PRO from my PC completely (instead of using the provided uninstaller). As a result I cannot reinstall MAMP as the installer still detects that I installed MAMP earlier and tries to uninstall it. In trying to fix my mistake I found that I still have references (I think they are .exe files) to MAMP and MAMP PRO in the windows apps section (. However when I try to remove them I get an error bar saying:
-) C:/MAMP/unins000.exe
and
-) cannot find file C:/MAMP/unins000.exe.
So I cannot remove said files, meaning that I cannot reinstall MAMP
I tried the MicrosoftProgram_Install_and_Uninstall and ccleaner first to install MAMP, however this resulted in the same error.
I also found some threads that show how to restore a file's directory through the command line, yet the problem with this is that I cannot find the directory of the remaining MAMP files.
As I'm not really into this field I have no idea of where to look to solve this. I'm however intrigued by this problem I would like to understand how this is possible and how to solve this.
In the end I would like to remove those MAMP references so I can reinstall MAMP.
Or (only if I really can't fix this) someone knows a similar program that works as well or better.

Xampp is runni8ng but .php files won't load

I've got a strange problem. My xampp seems to run just fine, at least the control panel says so. A couple of months back I was able to use xampp properly as well. But now, if I try to load anything in htdocs the browser tells me that the website is not available.
The only things that have changed since I used xampp successfully:
I've briefly installed wampp, but decided to deinstall it again. As far as I can tell, I have removed snd deinstalled everything succesfully.
And, I'm using an other internet connection. Is there a possibility that the firewall of the modem messes xampp up?
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
PS: I did not post the config files of xampp, because I haven't changed them since everything worked properly, so I hardly think that it is relevant.
Considering your problem and the information I have gathered from you.
The best solution is:
Make a backup of all your files in htdocs.Uninstall Xampp completely.Download and install once again.
Note:
Latest Xampp versions comes with MariaDB unlike mysql.Now some versions of MariaDB is unstable.This would create problems when you are actually working with database and sql queries.
Either download and install Xampp which comes with Mysql or find a version of xampp which comes with a stable version of MariaDB and the latest PhpMyAdmin version.
Reinstalling solves issues like this most of the time.There may have been some kind of server conflict when you installed WAMP.So an all new installation is best.
You could also try clearing the browser history and cookie as an alternative.

Installing Moodle using XAMPP on Windows Server 2008 Enterprise edition

I am trying to install Moodle 1.9 using XAMPP on a virtual machine running Windows Server 2008 Enterprise edition.
I can initially access the install.php installer script fine but after I progress past the third page the webpage times out.
If I go to http://localhost/, no webpage is downloaded and the browser just times out.
I have tried to run the install script with IE7 and Chrome to see if it was a browser problem, but the same thing occurs.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ashley
Windows servers are notorious for causing problems with Moodle installations. Here's a few things to try:
Check the dirroot is set correctly your config.php file. Windows requires complete, absolute file names.
Has the failed install created some/all database tables, and populated them? If only some, look for the last successful table, then check for any corrupted or modified code related to that table that could be causing the install to hang. E.g. is the last successful table is forum, check your mods/forum files. It might be worth downloading a fresh weekly build of Moodle.
Your mysql memory_limit might be set too low (Moodle Docs recommend at least 40mb for Moodle 1.8 and higher).
Is this an upgrade, or a clean install? If it's an upgrade, don't try jumping too many versions, and (if possible) uninstall any third-party modules or activities that might cause trouble whilst updating the tables.
There's lots more info in the Moodle Docs, particularly:
