Hi there,
I wonder if you can help please. I've just installed and configured SolidCP on my web server and all the core components are working just fine (well done on the dev team excellent work).
My problem now is that when I try to install the hosting packages for PHP, Ruby, Perl, etc. I'm unable to. If I go to "My Server" --> Add Web Engines --> add "PHP" --> Install, I get a list of components and modules required to be installed along with PHP. I click accept and then click install, then I get a "preparing" message. This message goes on forever and nothing gets installed. The server has excellent connection and I'm able to download large data fairly quickly, so I don't think it is connection. I'm not getting errors but rather the message "preparing" which doesn't actually install anything. I've tried to leave it on for a while (few hours) but I came back to find it exactly the same.
Any advice on how I can get the web engine modules installed please? I specifically want PHP, Ruby, NopCommerce (from Microsoft web platform), etc.
Your help will be much appreciated.
Thanks
Hello,
Can you tell me in you have installed the Microsoft Web PI ( https://www.microsoft.com/web/downloads/platform.aspx)? This is normally needed for the web engines to install.
Kind Regards,
Trevor Robinson
Hi Trevor. Thanks for your response. I haven't installed it as I didn't know it is a prerequisite. I'll install it now and let you know if it changes anything. Thanks.
Hi again,
I've tried but nothing really seems to be happening. Still getting the same "preparing" message. Should I try to install PHP outside of SolidCP web platform installer instead?
Hello,
First of all check the feed in system settings –> make sure you set it to 5.0 (not 4.5)
second make sure Web Deploy 3.5 is installed (you can install it through WebPI)
Additionally you will also need Helicon Zoo for the additional feed to install the platforms.
(can also be installed through web pi).
Regards,
Marco
