Installation wizard not loading (MAMP)

[jason_coconut]

Hi All,

I searched this forum for a solution to this problem but couldn't come across any,

I am not a developer but have set up many websites using wordpress/woo commerce etc,

I am trying to install magento locally (on MAMP),

Unfortunately, when i address the appropriate link (which is http://localhost:8888/magento/ for me), it addresses to http://localhost:8888/magento/index.php/install/ but nothing but a blank screen appears,

Can anyone help with this please? I'm trying to install Magento 1.9,

Thanks,

Jason

Hi @jason_coconut

What is the memory_limit  set in php.ini of mamp?

Have you enabled all the required extensions to install Magento?

Which version of php are you using?

[jason_coconut]

Thanks for the reply @Mukesh Tiwari,

Judging by the PHP info on MAMP start page, it is PHP Version 7.0,

Memory limit is set to 128MB,

Im not sure about the extensions, could you kindly tell me what extensions need to be installed?

Hi @jason_coconut

You need to downgrade the php version to 5.5 as officially magento does not support Php 7 for the Magento 1x.

Please refer Magento1x System Requirements

Also increase memory to 512 MB (IT should work with 128 MB also but higher is good).

Yes that worked!

Thanks a lot @Mukesh Tiwari!

Cheers,

Jason.
