What to do if error during installation?

wawaf

There is PHP error in the middle of installation and the installation is aborted. While there are some files and folders left by the installation in the Flarum location. Do I need to remove them before the next installation?

If a bunch of output, please paste between two sets of backticks

'proc_get_status() has been disabled for security reasons'

It looks like it was disabled. Are you using shared hosting? Anyway to get this enabled?
Here's a search on that

Dev's may have more enlightenment..

I already fixed the php error.

What I'd like to know is whether I need to remove the files and folders left by the aborted installation, if I start a new installation again? 😉

Kulga

wawaf ah lol.
I'd just remove them.

wawaf

thanks for your reply 🙂

Did this work out for you, wawaf?

wawaf

jordanjay29 yes, it works. There is a message in installation indicates it is impossible to install Flarum under a non empty directory.
