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?

The dump is array (). Empty I guess…

Re: Stuck at language selection screen while installing
It’s not suhosin or some installed PHP extension (or similar) getting in the way is it? Can you perchance upload some random filename with a .php extension to your root web server directory, with this in it:
<?php
phpinfo();Run it in your browser and see if there are any filters or security extensions loaded that might give us a clue. This really is a head-scratcher but based on the fact $_POST is empty, something is swallowing your post data.

Re: Stuck at language selection screen while installing
Yep, this explains it. Now we need to know what is blocking it, will you be able to send post data via your browser? Then you could create some test.php file on your server with just
<?php
var_dump($_POST);and post some data to test.php. If the result is empty, I would inquire your webhost.

Re: Stuck at language selection screen while installing
Also, just out of morbid curiosity, what happens if you var_dump($_REQUEST) in place of the var_dump($_POST) where etc suggested? I expect it’ll do the same thing. But if you add some parameter such as ?test=value to the URL of your file that submits to the server, see if those show up in the REQUEST output too. Then we’ll know if it’s just limited to POST, or if GET is involved too.

I uploaded the output here
Hope it gives us a clue.

Re: Stuck at language selection screen while installing
I can’t (quickly) see anything unusual, I would rather suspect some extra-zealous security filter. Try sending some post data and dumping it on the server.
