HTTP & CLI Error

No problem. The test is clearly not robust enough in certain environments (probably fine on a clean Linux install for example, but Plesk/WAMPP/XAMPP type environments seem to cause it to fail). But if you're confident that you've met the minimum requirements and have a working environment then I see no harm in doing what I suggest.

Hello, I got the following error on my local xampp 7.4.3, PHP version is 7.4.3.
Error Output:
================

Exit Code: 1(General error)
What should I change to the file and which file? Please suggest to me.
Is this error occurs only local? or it will occur in live one as well. I have one for one client which has lot of data.
I don't want to mess up with client data.

I tried even commenting, on installer.php on the last requirement. Still same error.
could not able to download core.

Hello, I am able to update to 2.1.1 on all live without any issue. But I could not update to 2.1.1 from 2.0.27 on my local. I don't think it will be updated on my local anymore.
So, I downloaded the latest 2.1.1 on local xampp and it is running okay.

I'm aware that this is a year old but if anyone still encounters this issue where the DB is stuck creating "three dots pulsing" you can do the following which worked for me

if your hosting provider gives you access to a user terminal, where you can run the following cmd;
(change the details as required, ensure that your database is created and "EMPTY" otherwise it will throw errors)

php artisan install --db-name="akaunting" --db-username="user" --db-password="password" --admin-email="[email protected]" --admin-password="123456"

Once the process has completed, you can then navigate to the site and finish the setup.


This happened on my windows 10 box XAMPP PHP version 8.1.1

Had the exact same hang, so I tried your command and got this error:

In UrlGenerator.php line 121:

Illuminate\Routing\UrlGenerator::__construct(): Argument #2 ($request) must be of type Illuminate\Http\Reques
t, null given, called in /akaunting/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Routing/
RoutingServiceProvider.php on line 67

One error after another, I can't win!
