Installation problem,loop redirect to install

Installing my Dolibarr
1

Hi all,

When I try to install Dolibarr6.0.0 (web hosting, apache/php7/mysql), every steps works perfectly, I can create my admin account, but at the final step (login with admin account and start using Dolibarr), it continuously redirects me to the install/check.php.

If I try to go to xxx.com/erp/admin , it redirects me to xxx.com/erp/admin/install/index.php, and returns a 404 error…

I really do not understand why I have always a redirect to /install directory.

the conf.php is normal, I have no install.lock in /documents folder for the moment (but this is not the cause I think…)
the database seems to be ok also (utf8-general-ci), and in the logfile, I do have the sql=DELETE FROM erp_const WHERE name=‘MAIN_NOT_INSTALLED’ done.

Does someone can help me please…
This make me crazy :happy:
Thomas

when you reach the add-user page while installing, do not skip that part,especially if you are migrating/upgrading to a higher version and feel like you already have the user. Ensure you add the user even if he already exists (you can pick a different username), and proceed. The loop will stop.

I know that this post is 4 years oldie, but i think my answer will help more than one user :wink:

In my case the problem was that i had changed the permissions to access the file conf/conf.php so restrictive that it caused the same Dolibarr not able to access its content, and then it tried again and again to install itself.

In my case i setted chmod 700 to that file, but i needed to assign 644 to be able to “apache user” to read the content.
