Magento Database Error - Magento Doesn't Install

  • Posted November 11, 2014

Hi,

I need to install magento. I followed this instruction: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-the-magento-one-click-install-image

After magento was installed with one click (droplet was created) - i tried to login to magento - it went me through installation process, but the gave we an database error.

I realized that magento needs a database, so I followed tutorial for LAMP. After I did so - i tried to login and continue with magento installation again - but got the same database error, so I continued this tutorial: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-the-magento-one-click-install-image,.

The last thing I did is: "Find the lines containing the information for the existing self-signed cert:

    SSLEngine on
    SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.crt
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.key

and replace the the paths with the location of the files obtained from your certificate authority.

    SSLEngine on
    SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/ssl.crt
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/private.key
    SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/apache2/ssl/sub.class1.server.ca.pem"

Then tutorial says enter this command to reboot apache: sudo service apache2 restart

but when i typed this line into my terminal I got an error message: root@YBF:~# sudo service apache2 restart

  • Restarting web server apache2 [fail]
  • The apache2 configtest failed. Output of config test was: apache2: Syntax error on line 219 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 19 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/magento-ssl.conf: Expected </VirtualHost> but saw </FilesMatch> Action ‘configtest’ failed. The Apache error log may have more information. root@YBF:~# nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/magento-ssl.conf

What I am doing wrong? How do I fix it?

Did you find the answer to this?

I had the same problem but put it down to having an SSL Certificate with a Private Key that didn’t match.
