A staging site on your host server is sometimes the best place - see User Guide https://phoenixcart.org/phoenixcartwiki ... _Test_Shop

Thanks for your help. That, in fact, is what I've done. The cart is not for my site but, eventually, for a client. However, it's much easier to make development changes on my local machine if I can only get it to install!

Sorry I cannot help with your issue but it is not an issue that has been reported by anyone else.

For information and, I hope, help to other developers, I have three high spec laptops (each a different make) on my network, each running Wampserver for development purposes.

CE Phoenix refused to install on all three, hanging in the same place every time.

On one machine I also have XAMPP and, when I closed Wampserver and used XAMPP, Phoenix installed without a hitch.

Ergo, I suggest that CE Phoenix is incompatible with Wampserver.

I had this issue while installing 1.0.8.14 on a test domain on the same server as my live site. The MariaDB server defaults to creating MyISAM rather than InnoDB tables. I got the database set up by adding ENGINE=InnoDB to the end of all the CREATE TABLE queries in the catalog/install/phoenix.sql file.
