Is xampp so buggy suddenly? I use latest xampp lite, i tried other versions too, I tried to install Joomla 3.1 on 2 laptops, one is brand new and in both cases I get stuck on install screen, the page never turns to second page where I should input database, username, password etc...

Joomla can't handle PHP 5.5. Thats not the fault of XAMPP.

so what to do??

Use an older version of XAMPP!?

I did, approx 2 years old and there was problem with it, because joomla did not work with it either, some files were misssing or something, so I upgraded to latest xampp

can you be specific, which version is the latest version with appropriate php?

It's not my task to search the appropriate XAMPP version for webapplication XY.
You want to do webwork, so that is one part of it.

Some ressources:

• Installing Joomla (especially Joomla Technical Requirements)
• XAMPP for Windows Versions
• Joomla Support Forum

Either dont use Xampp or dont use Joomla.

Got it here:

The solution was to edit installation/application/framework.php and replace:

Code: Select all

ini_set('display_errors', true);

with

Code: Select all

ini_set('display_errors', false);
