If I try to proceed with the install I get a message pop-up that says:

SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data



OK

Hi Nick,

Are you able to check this?

Unknown: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct () in <b>Unknown</b> on line <b>0</b>

Line 20 of file session.php is just :-

session_start();

Are you able to access the paths and the files in your error / warnings message using ftp or a file manger? Then you can confirm if it is true or false i.e. do those paths and files exist?

It looks like it could also be a file permission problem, so if the files and paths do exist what are their permissions?

It may also be useful to know what version of Arastta you are using and what version of PHP, MySQL and Apache too.

Regards,

Thanks Hacksacka. I was trying to install on a GoDaddy Classic Linux Host, running PHP 5.4. I decided to try it on a newer GoDaddy cPanel host, running php 7.1 and I no longer got the errors. I was able to install, and am now working on building the site on the new host. I think you may be on the right track with the file permissions. I got the files onto the server by uploading the zip and extracting them on the server itself, in both cases. Not sure why there would be a difference, but if anyone else is having this issue, and can't switch servers, that may be useful.
