Trying to setup joomla 3.0.3 on my localhost on Xubuntu 16.04 but the installation gets stuck in the configuration section. After fulfilling all the tabs when I click next, it takes me back to the configuration again, tried 2.5, (3.45 dont even load the installation process) versions but results in same issue though drupal and wordpress is running fine. I have installed apache2 (ver 2.4.18), mysql-server (ver 5.7.12) and php7.0.

The error log I assume http://paste.ubuntu.com/16830893/

The ls -la /etc/apache2/ result is http://paste.ubuntu.com/16902897/

How can I do that, the logs, where to be found? – Pavel Sayekat May 30 '16 at 6:17

apache2ctl -V (or apache -V, or just httpd -V) then check HTTPD_ROOT and add DEFAULT_ERRORLOG, so if HTTPD_ROOT="/etc/httpd" and DEFAULT_ERRORLOG="logs/error_log" then check /etc/httpd/logs/error_log – Putnik May 30 '16 at 14:18
    
@PavelSayekat: Please do what Putnik suggested... – Ajay Kulkarni May 31 '16 at 6:51

The problem was at the beginning, My php version is 7 and php7 compatible joomla versions are 3.5 and laters, that's why I was having these problems. So I just loaded the joomla 3.5.1 version and bingo. I discovered this in here https://docs.joomla.org/J3.x:Installing_Joomla in the references section.

I was trying to install the previous versions for stability, bad luck. – Pavel Sayekat Jun 3 '16 at 16:22
