Hi,
I am trying to install OJS on OVH Hosting. While submitting installation form the site is redirecting me again to installation form without any message. Any cluse what may be the reason?
Best regards
Abdel
check the file and folder permission on the first stage of installation, on file config.inc.php must be writeable
In OVH hosting all directories / files are writeable by Apache by default.
There may be the problem with upload file path though. I am no sure how to set it relative to the installation directory (e.g. as subdirectory protect by .htaccess)
To use a relative path to your files_dir, enter a path like āā¦/filesā (if the files are in a āfilesā directory above the OJS installation) or āfilesā if the files are in a folder within the OJS installation (but be sure to prevent web exposure of this directory within the OJS installation).
Have you checked your PHP error log for any relevant messages which might indicate why you are seeing the install page again?
No PHP errors.
I have tried it on another server and the installer is not working there either. (same results, the installer page reloads without any message).
There are several other similar reports which have gone unresolved, save for using a different host:
Can you share a screenshot of the install page which comes back after submitting the form? We can try to find some common theme between these, perhaps in the submitted data.
The page shows āLoadingā¦ā at the top for very short period.
Screens of install form attached below.
Simillary I can see some warnings:

You havenāt fully obscured the password in the post above. Please discard that password for any current and future use.
A couple of thoughts on your issue:
Consideration #1:
In the āDatabase driverā section, you have selected ā[ MySQL ]ā. The brackets actually indicate that this driver is not available on your system. This will generally be the case with the MySQL driver in PHP7. Try the āMySQLiā driver from this list instead.
We should change the installation page so that an unsupported driver is not the default selection.
This may not be the cause of your problem, however, as I would expect a blank page, not a return to the installation page, if the form was submitted with an unsupported driver.
Consideration #2
There was a prior report where the admin username was being overly strict. The installation was reported failing if the admin username contained characters other than the lowercase latin alphabet. You have entered āAdminā here. Does the result change if you enter āadminā instead of āAdminā? Iām not sure if we ever confirmed or resolved the earlier report.
Thanks for help and your support.
I was trying to install before both with mySQL and mySQLi but neither try succeeded.
However, while I change into mySQLi and changed username according to your remarks, to one using lowercase latin alphabet letters only, the installation script worked correctly. So the problem to my mind was connected with lack of error message in validator of username field.
