Joomla 1.5 Install Failing

[pemurray]

Greetings All,

I created a new linux sub-account today. When I realized that the subdomain name determines the name of the MySQL database parameters, I deleted the subdomain and recreated it.

While I was installing Joomla, I got an XML error when I tried to install the default data. "The XML returned from the server is invalid".

When I click next after that message, I get a white page with the following text:

Notice: Undefined index: DBtype in /var/www/domains/realestate.paradapolska.com/docs/installation/installer/models/model.php on line 764

Fatal error: Call to undefined method JException::getNullDate() in /var/www/domains/realestate.paradapolska.com/docs/installation/installer/helper.php on line 290

I have tried this a couple of times...

Any suggestions would be helpful.

I have installed the previous version of Joomla without incident.

Thanks all,

Paul

I'm having the exact same problem have you resolved the issue?

If you're still having issues installing Joomla please try following our wiki article at http://wiki.myhosting.com/Joomla_Setup. Let me know if you encounter any further issues.

I also get this error. It occurs following the Main Configuration page, even when using the Wiki as a guide.

What's the solution?

Just got off the phone with a friendly down-under voice, and he helped me get past step 6 without entering the sample data. Apparently, despite redundant strong suggestion by Joomla, this causes the XML error listed above. Skip that part of step 6 and all should be well.
