I'm trying to setup Joomla 3 on my localhost on XAMPP. I have extracted the Joomla files in htdocs/myFolder. Once i launch the site, it takes me to Joomla site configuration.

Step1. Main Configuration- I provide site name, description, admin email, username blah blah.

Step2. Database configuration- I provide the following information:

Database Type: MySQLi Hostname: localhost:81 (because my apache runs on port 81) username: joomla_admin (user i have created in phpmyadmin) password: "password for above user" database name: "dbname which i created already" table prefic: "random generated" Old db process: Remove

Once i click Next, the loading bar shows up and keeps loading to the end of the world.

Please help!

  • You probably need to increase the max_execution_time PHP parameter. So edit php.ini file used by Apache, and change `max_execution_time = 600` for example. Put it back to whatever it was originally, when you are finished with the install. – RiggsFolly Feb 10 '15 at 18:04

  • I tried installing Joomla3 via XAMPP's initial webpage. It worked. – enemetch Feb 13 '15 at 12:25
