Welcome to the forum!

Open the file /conf/_basic_config.php and set

$allow_evodb_reset = 1;

Then open installer, drop b2evo tables, and try again

Also post here all the info you get after installation.

Hello Sam2kb

I have tried that already and also to use a new database but the result is always the same:

Checking files...

Preparing to install .htaccess ... ERROR!
Failed to copy files!
Everything should still work, but for optimization you should follow these instructions.

Setup does something but does not show the login info for the admin and also does not create any blogs.

I have already tried to reset the password for admin successfully and than I'm able to login the admin. From there I can setup blogs from cratch but it does not work from the installer.

B.t.w. - a joomla installation just works fine.

The last string in the log you posted reads

Installing plugin: quicktags_plugin...

There are lots of stuff going after this message in normal install. It looks like b2evo installer just dies for some reason. Can you check PHP and Apache error logs?

Memory limit ;)

It is not memory. In php.ini default was 128M and even 256M does not work.

Any other idea's

Can you check PHP and Apache error logs?

Also try to upload all files again and let PHP print errors on screen.

Can you post a link to your blog?

It is a intranet webserver - no public access.

How would I print php errors to the screen?

Make sure you have these settings in php.ini
You can switch back to previous settings after you post the error messages here.

error_reporting = E_ALL
display_errors = On

I did that. I get a warning and an error at the end. see the output:

Hi sam

Thanks for pointing me into the right direction. [u]I found what was missing[/u]. I had to install a extra php5 extensie / module called php5-tokenizer.

Now ik works fine!

Kind regards,
Zebulon

Warning: date(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings.

To fix this warning simply edit timezone directive in php.ini

[Date]
; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions
; http://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.configuration.php#ini.date.timezone
date.timezone = "America/New_York"
