Magento connect stuck while installing

Hi Everyone, I am facing this problem while installing extensions, themes basically anything from magento connect. When I enter the extension key and click install It just gets stuck and even when it says done and I try and go back on admin page it says "There are PEAR processes running. If you will close the window or navigate away from the page, installation will be interrupted. " Has anyone faced this problem. I am working on ubuntu 9.1 and having magento 1.4. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Cheers

+1 A:

If you are working on the same computer and access your instalation via localhost (or 127.0.0.1) it can lead to problems. You should edit your hosts file and add same fake address such as www.localhost.com 127.0.0.1

I believe this is because most browsers don't store cookies for localhost and I have had problems with magento because of this in the past.

Hi Omar I tried that but still no success. The Pear processes tend to stuck. I changed the hosts file and added 127.0.0.1 www.localhost.com and opened www.localhost.com/magento/index.php.admin and when it ried insalling an extension it gets stuck

Hi itsandy I faced exactly the same problem as you describe. Read a lot of forums. Tried almost everything with permission, pear, via ssh and connect to no avail. It shows downloading ..done (and the archieve) is in the downloader/pearlib/download folder) but doesn't show any installation signs that usually ends with installation...ok. It just stuck. Have you managed to fight it? I'd appreciate if you could share the results.

Hi you may be interested in downloading extensions through the terminal..To do that you need to run the mage-setup command with the pear client in your Magento root.$ ./pear mage-setupThis will add the Magento “channels” to your configuration. Now, if you run:$ ./pear download [Extension Key]the compressed tarball for your extension will be downloaded to your Magento root directory. At that point you can open it up, inspect, and install it manually, if that’s your preference.hope this will help
