Joomla 3.0 installation on localhost using xampp stuck on configuration step

Jooma 3.0 is stuck on its first step of installation which is configuration. I am installing it locally using xampp. I have tried two things for it:

  1. Run the xampp as admin
  2. changed session.use_cookies=1 in "php.ini"

Can anyone help me in sorting out this issue?

If you getting error installing joomla 3.0 using xampp 1.7.3 then you should move to xampp 1.8.1, because php version in xampp 1.7.3 is 5.3.1 and joomla 3.0.3 needs php version 5.4.

So, you either move to xampp 1.8.1 or try wamp 2.2 e. This will solve your problem.

thats how i solved this

open libraries/joomla/filter/input.php replace following

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

with this in input.php

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

Go to wamp\www\Your joomla folder\installation\sql\mysql and open Joomla.sql. Find the term ENGINE=InnoDB and replace all with ENGINE=MyIsam. MyIsam is more supported and compatible with Joomla.

What error are you getting? What did you put in the Admin Email textbox? Just type [email protected] in that textbox. Check the other fields also especially the Confirm Admin Password . Provide some more details so that it is easier to understand your problem and help you.
