Hi Everyone,
I'm not sure what I've done but my local wamp server is no longer letting me install Joomla websites. A few weeks back, I installed the latest Php version along with some other wamp/apache upgrades and since then, nothing has been the same.
Currently, I am unable to get passed step 3 of the installation. The database is created and populated but the process keeps bringing me back to that particular step. I've also tried doing a manual installation where I removed the installation directory and configured the configuration.php file manually. However, that didn't work either. I tried doing the "reinstall all services" option and that just killed PhPmyAdmin.
I've also tried installing xampp with no luck either. I kept getting the same issue, no matter what PHP version I installed. I've now removed xampp and done a fresh install of wamp to see if that helped and still nothing. I did make sure to rename the old wamp directory so it wouldn't install over the top of the old installation. When I did the original wamp updates, I did install some extra core updates for my computer that where recommend for when you upgrade wamp server but I can't work out if that's caused the issue or not. Nor can I recall what those upgrades were.
Can anyone please help me as I use Joomla for work and need to get some kind of local server up and running ASAP.
I've looked around on the forum and other help sites, I've tried making changes to the joomla.sql file in the installation directory, changing the php.int file, and nothing seems to work.
Any help would be a huge help.
Thanks!
