Hey there! Well, this is my very first post in this community and I'm only really doing it because I was unable to find anything that fits my case.

I've been in love with OctoberCMS for a while now, playing around with localhost servers and planning a few projects based on it, so I could say that I've been running it already - in easy mode I'd say because I'm not a experienced developer, but a front end designer willing to learn this. However, I've run into some trouble in my very first real installation in my hosted server using the Wizard. Even tho my PHP version is fine and all info displayed in my phpinfo() file seems to point for a gtg installation, system check keeps denying it to me. And it changes the fails with no reason I can think of.

You can find the Wizard within this address: http://sandbox.eter.ppg.br/octcmstest/install.php while the phpinfo() is in http://sandbox.eter.ppg.br/octcmstest/php.php I've been in touch with my host support but these guys are as much intrigued as me, since phpinfo() tells us it's all good. :/ I'm guessing that my lack of experience is not helping tho. Additional info:

• I've tried PHP 7.0, 7.1 and 7.2 by changing it in cPanel;
• downloaded a "new" install-master.zip file and uploaded it to the server

Have anyone else experience something like this? Is there, maybe, an way to overcome this situation? Thanks for your attention.

Just to report the progress here.

After deleting the folder in the host, re-uploading the whole content from install-master.zip, then deleting it again and now uploading the zip file itself, I've managed to pass in all tests after the third or forth refresh of the install.php page. Eitherway, I'm really not sure if this had anything to do with the success of the system check part. Just thought it would be nice to report it here for anyone in the same situation now or in the future.

Now I'm struggling with install but that's another matter. :/

Good to hear that the old "Luctor et emergo" worked for you here :)

Do report back about your problems installing October (or better yet... include the solutions)!

For sure! I've just re-checked something here and found out, along with my server's support, that this problem had something to do with an Apache setting. We had to copy my files to another server, one with a fresh install and it worked fine. However, I can't really tell what kind of setting was that. But that's a good guess for anyone in a situation like this.
