Title: Install hangs on last step
Post by: denko on December 14, 2018, 04:20:14 AM
For some reason my 2.0.15 board stopped working 3 days ago - use all cpu % and logs me out, never displaying anything.
I tried installing fresh 2.1 beta3 and it hangs on last step (creating admin acct I believe).
After some wait browser shows:
This page does not work
smf21.zenforum.dk did not send any data.
ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE
null

Could it be some php setting?

definitely a server issue...   talk to your host.

Also, beta 3 is outdated. If you want to run a beta, get the latest from the github repository

you really should not be using SMF 2.1, unless you are ready to do things manually that may not be expected.

Yes, it was the server - a bad install of some security sw. They re-installed & all is fine.

I will look at the github ver.
