Installation Issues with Magento 2 [version 2.4.8] on My New AI Computer

[usacocolen8450]

Hi everyone,

I recently tried installing Magento 2 (version 2.4.8) on my new AI computer, but I’m running into several issues:

• Installation fails: The installation process either gets stuck or fails partway through.
• Compatibility errors: I’m seeing warnings about missing PHP extensions or version conflicts with other required components.
• Database connection issues: I’m having trouble connecting to the database during the setup process.
• Performance problems: Even when installation completes, Magento runs very slowly, especially in the admin panel.

I’ve double-checked the system requirements, installed the necessary PHP extensions, and ensured my server environment is up-to-date, but the issues persist. Has anyone else faced similar problems with installing Magento 2.4.8 on an AI-based system? Any tips or troubleshooting steps would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help!

Installation Fails/Freezes:

• Increase memory to at least 2GB in php.ini and adjust max_execution_time to 300 seconds or more.
• Set correct file permissions: 755 for directories, 644 for files.

2. Compatibility Errors:

• PHP Version: Ensure you're using PHP 7.4 or 8.1.
• Install missing extensions: Use php -m to verify extensions like bcmath, curl, gd, etc.
• Check for version conflicts if multiple PHP versions are installed.

3. Database Issues:

• Ensure MySQL 8.0+ or MariaDB 10.4+ is installed.
• Verify user privileges (CREATE, INSERT, SELECT, etc.).
• Double-check your database connection string.

4. Performance Problems:

• Enable Redis for cache and session storage.
• Use Elasticsearch 7.6+.
• Ensure PHP Opcache is enabled.
• Switch to Production Mode using bin/magento deploy:mode:set production.

Check Magento logs for specific errors, and consider using Composer for installation.
