I have just bought EE and try to install it, and get this error.
“Unable to load the requested language file: language/english/@eaDir_lang.php”

Why????

Hi sin welcome to the forums.

First thing to do is check that you have uploaded all files. If this is a new install it’s probably worth reuploading everything again to make sure.

Done. But it’s still the same??? And I do not see a file anywere in the folders with the specified name.

It looks like the installer script isn’t finding the correct path to the language files. Have you run the Server Wizard to make sure there server is compatible? http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/installation/requirements.html

Done. This is the result.

Congratulations! Your server is ready to use ExpressionEngine!

What now???

Well done. The next step - login to the Control panel and start creating your site!

How can I use the Controlpanel. EE is still not installed.

1. step
ExpressionEngine Installation and Update Wizard

Welcome to the ExpressionEngine Installation and Update wizard.

This utility enables ExpressionEngine to be installed for the first time or updated from an older version.

2. step

ExpressionEngine Installation and Update Wizard

All pre-installation tests have been completed successfully and no errors were detected.

If you are ready to install ExpressionEngine version 2.5.2 click the link below:

Click here to install a brand new copy of ExpressionEngine

3. step

I agree to abide by the license Terms and Conditions as stated above.

4. step

An Error Was Encountered
Unable to load the requested language file: language/english/@eaDir_lang.php

I think there must be something wrong with the version 2.5.2.

Maybe it is not quite clear what I wrote above this. Let me clear it.

When I run the ee-wizard, I am told that everytning is OK. The last row “Supported” say Yes on every line. So my Synology 209+ with the latest software should be able to do the job, and I get this message, Congratulations! Your server is ready to use ExpressionEngine!

I have put the EE-files in a folder named “EEtest”, and access it at http://<ip-adress>/EEtest/admin.php. This brings me to the “ExpressionEngine Installation and Update Wizard”, clicking begin and come to “All pre-installation tests have been completed successfully and no errors were detected.”

Clicking to begin install brings me the License agreement, in wich I agree, and press Submit.

In my adress field is this: “http://192.168.0.196/EEtest/admin.php?C=wizard&M=install_form&language=english&ajax_progress=yes”

But unfortunately also in the browser:

“An Error Was Encountered
Unable to load the requested language file: language/english/@eaDir_lang.php”

I’m unable to se what I can do else, to get over this hurdle. Please tell me what to do. I post this and will now try to start from the very beginning, downloading a new copy of EE.

Hi sln,

I am sorry to see you have so much trouble with installation!

The error:

An Error Was Encountered
Unable to load the requested language file: language/english/@eaDir_lang.php

is odd, because ExpressionEngine doesn’t require a file named like that.

post this and will now try to start from the very beginning, downloading a new copy of EE.

That’s my suggestion at this point. It would seem some of the files may have been corrupted in download or when uploading to your server.

Have you added or changed anything after downloading?

Cheers,

I’m glad to say, that now it woks. In fact I HAD, some days ago, made a new downloading, unzipping, and uploading to my server, to the same folder as before. Which was emptied. With no positive result.
Now I have done that again, putting the files in a new folder on the server, and at least it’s OK.

Thank You.

Hi sln,

Fantastic!

If you need anything else, just let us know.

Cheers,
