I am trying to install moodle 2.4 on my webhost using cpanel.
I have successfully created the database and started the installation. I enter the mysql database information and confirm the agreement.
Then I get the php checks and I click continue.
After a little while loading I get an error page telliong me there is no top level course. How do I fix this?
Hi James,
Can you mention your php, mysql version etc.
This issue may occur because of the timeout during the install.
mysqlversion: MySQL version 5.1.68-cll
php version: PHP version 5.3.23
Anything else you want to know?
I get this error_log file in moodle/admin/ on my webhost

Could it be because I don'e have php_intl installed?
Do you know anyway to fix this?
Looks like the installation failed:
These two in the error log:
no fields found
'Table "config" does not exist'
So using whatever tool you have to view the contents of databases (phpmyadmin? or other), see if there is a mdl_config table in the moodle DB. Also check that the user you had to give the install form has access rights to create tables. Also, on the form concerning the DB variables during initial installation, there was one field that already had the prefix _mdl filled in. Did you change that?
There is a way to 'fix' via command line /admin/cli/install.php BUT your requirement is cPanel.
Not sure that php-intl is not required to install. It is, however, recommended:
http://docs.moodle.org/24/en/PHP_settings_by_Moodle_version
Looks like your easiest approach at this point is to re-install - from scratch.
However, maybe this might help:

Ok I had a look at those things, phpmyadmin shows that the database has lots of tables etc in, but I deleted the whole thing and tried again.
Still having the same problem.
The user for the database seems to have all the necessary permissions and i did not change the database prefx.
I have tried following that video guide but I still get stuck at the same hurdle.
I am trynig to follow the cli install now see if I get given an error.
on the cli I seem to get it stalling at
==setting up database==

I'm installing 2.2 on my webhost using cpanel too.
It's a one-click installation which is set up by the webhost provider. It works fine. It shows me the front page login. Once I logged in, it attempts to load. After a while, it just stops leaving a blank screen. When I try to reload the login page now, its empty too. Nothing works now.
What should I do?
Hi Natalie,
You should try to turn on the debugging mode through config.php in your moodle directory.
http://docs.moodle.org/23/en/Debugging#In_config.php
Just edit the config.php file and add
$CFG->debug = 6143;
$CFG->debugdisplay = 1;
and save it.
Then, you will see the errors which prevent your page from loading.
Google it or you may ask here also about those errors.
Since you are using the one-click install from your service provider, have you asked them why it doesn't work? This is a reasonable question to ask your provider.
