Prestashop 1.7 Installing Ubuntu 14.04 LAMP Too many redirects

Question

I am trying to install Prestashop 1.7 on a bit of LAMP Ubuntu 14.04 from Digitalocean.

After copying the Prestashop source files to the presta folder in /var/www/html when accessing http://95.85.6.69/presta/ in the browser, I redirect to http://95.85.6.69/presta/install/index.php?step=welcome , which is great, except that it continues to redirect until I get it: ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS threw me away.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there any configuration I'm skipping? How can I transcend this error?

The image above is in addition to the error description.

PS: Ignore the differences in IP addresses as they are the result of several deployments of the same snapshot, ubuntu 14.04 LAMP, on Digitalocean.

Answer 1

Have you enabled the curl extension? I had the same problem a couple of days ago. After examining the problem, I found that the curl extension was not enabled, and Prestashop does not cause any errors if it is not enabled.

Answer 2

 sudo apt-get install php5-curl 

Then restart apache2 server using

 sudo service apache2 restart
