Failed to install joomla in localhost

Question

Today I tried to install joomla on localhost, but with the web installer after filling in the configuration information, when I click next, nothing happens, but only the processing image is displayed, as shown in the image I tried with different browsers, but the same problem was everywhere, I left it for 15-20 minutes, restarted the server / laptop, but the same problem. I knew that there was no problem with the installation source, as I already installed it before. Well, I am using EasyPHP-DevServer-13.1VC11. Please, help!! I have Wordpress installed on my computer and it has no problems.

Answer 1

Joomla 3.1.5 has a bug with PHP 5.5, but you don’t need to worry to make it work, you just need to change the input.php file located in libraries/joomla/filter/input.php Well: Open the input.php file find and replace with your favorite text editor

 $source = preg_replace('/&#(\d+);/me', "utf8_encode(chr(\\1))", $source); // decimal notation 

from

 $source = preg_replace_callback('/&#(\d+);/m', function($m){return utf8_encode(chr($m[1]));}, $source); // decimal notation 

and

 $source = preg_replace('/&#x([a-f0-9]+);/mei', "utf8_encode(chr(0x\\1))", $source); // hex notation 

from

 $source = preg_replace_callback('/&#x([a-f0-9]+);/mi', function($m){return utf8_encode(chr('0x'.$m[1]));}, $source); // hex notation 

or for your continent I downloaded the corrected input.php file, you can download it here just replace input.php with the original one, and you are done .. !!

Joomla 3.x does not support PHP 5.5, which uses EasyPHP-DevServer-13.1VC11. You need to upgrade to EasyPHP-DevServer, which uses PHP 5.4 or 5.3, the choice is up to you.
