I try to install Craft 3 but I encounter an issue at the very beginning. I uploaded the CMS via FTP and completed manually the .env file. When I try to run the installation, I get stuck at the account creation (the second step…) I want to create my account but the next button is doing nothing. I get an error 400 "Bad Request // Unable to verify your data submission." When I send the form to create the admin account (POST to http://mywebsite.com/web/index.php?p=admin/actions/install/validate-account).

The server meet the requirements of Craft CMS (runned the server check and was ok). The DB connection is fine.

I tried to delete and reupload all the CMS but nothing changed.

Therefore, I'm unable to install Craft :| I saw some topics of the same issue but they're all unanswered.

Thanks a lot !

Here are the corresponding logs :

  • Can you find the 400 Bad Request entry in your craft/storage/logs folder and share the full stack trace leading up to it?

  • Have seen that happen when you try to install over http and the site is configured to use https (and visa-versa). And if you're using Chrome it can be overly aggressive with it's caching if you make a switch (even in incognito mode). Have had to clear all of Chrome's caches before it would change sometimes.

Hello and thanks Brad !

I was actually using Firefox. When I tried to install Craft 3 via Chrome (which has never gone to the website before) the issue was solved and I could access to the next page. Should be a cache issue !

Thank you !

Olivier.
