 * I was able to create a package on my old Website. However, when I launch the 
   installer on the new Website, I get this error:
 * > INSTALL ERROR!
   >  No tables where created during step 1 of the install. Please
   > review the installer-log.txt file for sql error messages. You may have to manually
   > run the installer-data.sql with a tool like phpmyadmin to validate the data
   > input. If you have enabled compatibility mode during the package creation process
   > then the database server version your using may not be compatible with this
   > script.
 * Is it normal that I get this error although my root folder permissions are set
   to 755? I cannot set the root folder permission to 777 (my host apparently does
   not allow it), so is there a work-around solution?

 * How large is the size of your database.sql file in the archive.zip? It might 
   be that PHP doesn’t have enough memory to load the file for use…

 * My database.sql file is 65.1 Mo large. Do you think it could be to large to load?

 * Possibly. What is your [php memory limit](http://php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.memory-limit)
   set at?

 * My phpinfo says 512M. However, I did get some memory warnings when I set up the
   package on the old Website.
 * Maybe I can use the solution mentioned in the error message:
 * > “You may have to manually run the installer-data.sql with a tool like phpmyadmin
   > to validate the data input.”
 * The only problem is I am not sure how to process with that, especially since 
   the installer-data.sql file is empty…

 * Hey @mulce,
 * Try to update your memory to 1028MB to see if that works. If the installer-data.
   sql file is still blank then PHP may have a permissions issues writing to the
   installer-data.sql file and you will need to double check them…
 * Let me know if that helps~
