I have now reuploaded the whole repository after removing everything else.

I am using Plesk to do all this as I don’t have direct access to the server itself. I don’t know if that could cause any problems.
Can you take and post a screenshot of your directory structure? Hide anything sensitive as needed.

Baffling. Sounds like it can’t instantiate the $_SESSION that passes data between pages of the installation steps. Can’t for the life of me think why.

Would a WAF or mod_security prevent this?

While doing my own debugging I have seen that the step_getDbInfo is passed via post request to the server.

Is there mileage in applying the changes from here, Bloke?
Can’t hurt, but if EuclidBox can’t get off the language choice step, nothing will be shown in the second step.

That looks just fine – presumably the scrambled directory underneath
httpdocson the left side is your subdomain? I know some hosting setups have subdomains inside domains.
It is a domain. The httpdocs folder was created automatically. The blurred folder beneath contains the content you see on screen and is the main folder for the domain (like the www folder).

Re: Stuck at language selection screen while installing
Just to clarify. You are using the stable 4.8.4 release, yes? Not dev code from GitHub (although that should be working fine, too)?

Re: Stuck at language selection screen while installing
Yes, I have downloaded the 4.8.4 release from the website. Uploaded the .zip to my website and unpacked it. Then moved everything from the textpattern-4-8-4 folder one directory up as everything else would be in the wrong directory. Then I opened the setup as explained in the initial post.
Edit: The problem I have, is that I cannot contact my hoster before I don’t know what is not working correctly and I do not no if it is even on their side even.

Re: Stuck at language selection screen while installing
Weird, as if POST requests were blocked somehow. Can you try to add dmp($_POST); on line 133 of setup/index.php?
