Hi folks,
I am a bit frustrated installing Contao 3.2 on a server hosted by Hostgator.
After unzipping and copying the files to public_html/ the installation starts up just fine. I used the cPanel database wizard to create a database and assign a user to it.
The installation takes me to the point where I have to provide the database details. After having done so and clicking on "update database", however, the install script doesn't seem to be able to connect to the database although all parameters are checked and verfied. After a while, I get a Gateway timeout error message. The max_execution_time is set to 30 and won't be changed by Hostgator since I have a shared plan. After checking with phpadmin, all tables have been created.
Looking at the error_log reveals something else: it seems that there are some mismatches in components or library compilations. The error log is attached as pdf for those more savvy than I am.
BTW: The check tool stated everything OK without the need for Safe/Mode/Hack.
The weirdest thing is that I also get timout errors if I want to re-start the install process.
I should mention though, that my other domain (http://farbeyondrails.net) was also created using Contao (V 2.11) and is also hosted at Hostgator. never had any difficulties with that domain.
Is anybody else hosted at Hostgator and experienced similar difficulties, and maybe knows a work-around?
Thanks,
Erhard
