Hi,
Like a large number of other posters here, we have had the stuck-at-45% installation problem. By following the suggestion / description at
http://stackideas.com/forums/upgrade-to-5-fails-stuck-on-45#reply-216613 we were able to apparently complete the installation and in the front end, everything except EasyBlog is working.
The outstanding issues are:
- even though the back end shows there are (still) many posts that were previously displaying correctly, post-upgrade no posts show in the front end.
- every access to a backend EasyBlog administration function is accompanied with a PHP warning message (this is a development server inaccessible from the Internet, so we have all such messages enabled) "Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in C:\<root of server>\administrator\components\com_easyblog\includes\acl\acl.php on line 49" From which you can conclude this is running on a Windows PC (W7 Ultimate), but using Apache 2.4, PHP5.5.17 & MySQL 5.6.25. The PHP warning message also shows when accessing a previously configured menu entry pointing to EasyBlog.
For reference, when the installation failed, I had tried both the "launcher" (com_easyblog_launcher_community_5.0.20_joomla3.0.zip) and then the full 18MB installer (com_easyblog_full_community_5.zip) by HTTP POST and via a directory - in all cases, the installation failed at the 45% stage (so the PHP upload limit is probably not relevant for the problems I experienced). By following the recommended MySQL table ALTERations and running the EasyBlog / Maintenance / Database / Start, the installation has completed, albeit with the now-not-displaying-any-article-in-the-front-end problem. I could understand that the PHP foreach warning is related / the cause of the no-articles.
I await your comments and help
