I'm trying to install 2.2.0 on Ubuntu 22.04 and the installer hangs, presents blank installation page after configure page

[RichK2015]

I have downloaded and unzipped the dotproject 2.2.0 version on my Ubuntu 22.04 Apache2 LAMP system. I have created the dotproject database, and created a dotproject user. I have used the chmod command to set all files to 777. When I try to do the install the configuration page comes up and I enter the db details and such. However when I proceed past that point I get the dotproject install page which shows progress, but nothing else happens. I'm kind of stumped here. It looks like all of the files are owned by root:root

I have installed dotproject in the past, but it was the 1.x level of the program. Is there something I've missed here?

Dotproject 2.2 working with PHP 7 not PHP 8, if you want to use with PHP 8 you must install version "https://github.com/GwynethLlewelyn/dotProject". This version is 2.3.0., but it's "projectdesigner" module have problem at PHP 8, therefore if you want to use version 2.3.0, you should not activate "projectdesigner" module.

I've downloaded the version 2.3.0 as you suggested. I get the full install screen this time instead of just the short list as before. When I tell it to start installation, and supply the mySql database info and tell it to install the tables and install, it again just hangs up with a 'white screen of death' after saying "Progress:" and nothing else. I waited a few minutes to see if anything was happening but it looked like it gagged at that point. How do I 'not activate "projectdesigner" module?

We tried it too and here is the problem. When we tried to install the 2.3 version directly, we encountered the same problem as you. We can choose the PHP version on our server. First, choose PHP 7 version and version 2.2. we uploaded it and then created the database and leaving the "config.php" file, we deleted all the remaining files and copied the 2.3 version files except the "config.php" file. Then we changed the PHP version to 8 and ran it. We were able to make it work this way. The "projectdesigner" module is not activated during the first installation, but is activated from within the program after installation.

Thanks for this solution, i used it and now i have my dotproject 2.3.0 working on FreeBSD 14.2 Release with PHP 8.2 and MySQL 8.0.39, in my case i make a backup of my database in 2.2.0 in mysql 5.7.38, restored the backup on mysql 8.0.39 and configured my config.php with the installer on dotproject 2.3.0, just downloaded the config.php and used this one with the proper credentials.

I was able to use and check all my old projects, te only problem was that i could not see my old gantt charts, but when a created a news project with some tasks on it my gantt chart appeared like a charm!
