Installation FAIL

The Problem

The core/install.php file is not installing

Details

When I go to the web address where I uploaded my drupal 8.0.0-beta12 files instead of getting the configuration and install process screen I get a blank white screen.

=========================================================

Additional things I noticed in the code

The code -- This may or may not be part of the issue.

I did notice the drupal 8.0.0-beta12 install.php code was different from the install.php for drupal-7.38

  • drupal 8.0.0-beta12 start installer code
// Start the installer.
$class_loader = require_once 'autoload.php';
require_once __DIR__ . '/includes/install.core.inc';
install_drupal($class_loader);
  • drupal-7.38 start installer code
// Start the installer.
require_once DRUPAL_ROOT . '/includes/install.core.inc';
install_drupal();

Check your server log for PHP errors or change the reporting level. Don't set that on production though:

Received this after upgrading from beta 11, too.

The weird thing is that that core/vendor/symfony/yaml exists but there is no Symfony/** directory underneath. Just Exception and Tests.

( ! ) Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required '/usr/local/var/vhosts/*.com/acquia/*/docroot/core/vendor/symfony/yaml/Symfony/Component/Yaml/Parser.php' (include_path='/usr/local/var/vhosts/*.com/acquia/*/docroot/core/vendor/phpunit/php-text-template:/usr/local/var/vhosts/*.com/acquia/*/docroot/core/vendor/phpunit/php-timer:.:/usr/local/Cellar/php56/5.6.10/lib/php') in /usr/local/var/vhosts/*.com/acquia/*/docroot/core/vendor/symfony/class-loader/ApcClassLoader.php on line 114

Issue tags: +Bug Smash Initiative

Thanks for reporting this issue. We rely on issue reports like this one to resolve bugs and improve Drupal core.

As part of the Bug Smash Initiative, we are triaging issues that are marked "Postponed (maintainer needs more info)". This issue was marked "Postponed (maintainer needs more info)" prior to the release of Drupal 8.0.0-rc1, which is very different from subsequent versions of Drupal. Since there are no clear steps to reproduce that have been identified since 2015, I am marking it 'Closed (cannot reproduce)'.

If anyone can provide complete steps to reproduce the issue (starting from "Install Drupal core"), document those steps in the issue summary and set the issue status back to "Active".

Thanks!
