How do I read the installer log?

Get Installer Log File

Steps to create the installer log file:

  1. Run the installer.php file as far as possible until you run into an issue.
    When running an Import Install just follow the wizard screens until you run into an issue.
  2. Click on the installer-log.txt link in the upper right corner of the install wizard to open the install log screen.
  3. ATTACH the dup-installer-log__[hash].txt log file to your ticket
    Note: If there is no dup-installer-log__[hash].txt please attach the dup-installer-bootlog__[hash].txt file

Click the download link in the installer to download the installer file
