Problem (Bug) in Magento Installation
Just now, I tried to deploy Magento, an e-commerce CMS, version 1.0.19870.1. Although it’s just for fun, I really want to try this CMS, because in a review (I forget where I read the review) Magento regarded better than osCommerce. However, in the installation process, I met this kind of error.
Url “http://localhost/magento/” is not accessible
Error parsing body – doesn’t seem to be a chunked message
Where “http://localhost/magento” was my Base URL.

Fortunately, it can be solved easily. I just had to add‘”index.php/’” in <path>\magento\app\code\core\Mage\Install\Model\Installer\Config.php line 139 so that the original syntax:
$client = new Varien_Http_Client($url.$prefix);
will be like this:
$client = new Varien_Http_Client($url.‘index.php/’.$prefix);
It will solve the problem.
(I think the developer just forget to add that part of syntax.. :p)
it ’s my base url “http://localhost/magento/”
i have the following problem,
My frontend Does not connect properly,
“Not Found
The requested URL /magento/customer/account/ was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.8 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.4-2ubuntu5.1 with Suhosin-Patch Server at localhost Port 80″

@JM
actually, at first, I just tried to add ‘index.php’ after the default BASE URL (‘http://localhost/magento’).. when you’re in installation process, the URL will be like ‘http://localhost/magento/index.php/install/…’, so I thinked I should add ‘index.php’.. and fortunately, it worked..
after that, I used Google coz I was not sure it would solve the problem permanently.. I used the error message plus ‘index.php’ as the keywords .. then, I found a discussion about this error in a forum (I forget what forum, but I think it’s Magento Official Forum)..

@baburam
make sure that when you install the Magento, “Use Web Server (Apache) Rewrites” option on Configuration page uncheck..
another way is go to your Admin Panel, then go to System>Configuration.. Under General section, go to Web>Search Engines Optimization, for the “Use Web Server Rewrites” option choose NO..

Thanks very much, this solved my problem.
I was installing Magento on Apache 1.3 and it was the first time I have come across this issue. I’ve previously installed it on Apache 2.2.8 (without problem), so I wonder if it has something to do with the way the webserver is configured?

Well that got me past the
Url “http://localhost/magento/” is not accessible
Error parsing body – doesn’t seem to be a chunked message
error message and am now confronted with this one.
Notice: Use of undefined constant �index – assumed ‘�index’ in C:\xampp\htdocs\magento\app\code\core\Mage\Install\Model\Installer\Config.php on line 139
Any ideas?

it’s probably a quote problem around ‘index.php/’, due to the blog formatting engine.
try this one, or replace the simple quote with double quote “.
$client = new Varien_Http_Client($url.’index.php/’.$prefix);

@Jeff
just try to type the syntax manually..
I think you got that error message because you just copied from the web..
the point is make sure the use of single quotation mark (‘index.php/‘) corrects..

Hi Arie,
I am facing same problem as Jeff, and I tried to type the line again and made sure the quotes are right.
I still see this error
o Url “http://localhost/magento/” is not accessible
o Error parsing body – doesn’t seem to be a chunked message
Not sure if it can help, but I am using WAMP to install this.
Thanks,
Sawan

@sawan
hi, sawan..
if you got that error message again, I think the problem wasn’t about the quotes..
hmm.. I think the first thing to do is make sure that you edit the correct ‘Config.php’ file.. (check the path: \magento\app\code\core\Mage\Install\Model\Installer\Config.php)..

Yes, I am editing this file
C:\wamp\www\magento\app\code\core\Mage\Install\Model\Installer\Config.php
Thank for your help!
I am getting very excited to try this…
