I'm also facing the problem during installation of Umbraco
4.6.1. I followed all the steps from provided documents. My development
machine environment:
OS: Windows 7 Enterprise
IIS: 7.5
Having Administrative rights
Installation Steps:
Step 1: Extract the package file 1.0.4029.25836.zip and placed my pc location "e:\test".
Step 2: Making blank website in IIS with the name of "myumbraco" and mapped with "e:\test".
Step 3: Configured following permissions on "e:\test" folder
To help you get started here are some basic starter kits. They have been
tailored to suit common site configurations and install useful functionality
such as blogs or image galleries. Mouse over the icons to learn more about
what the starter kits will install.
No connection to repository. Starter Kits could not be
fetched from the repository as there was no connection to:
'http://packages.umbraco.org'
Don't worry.. you should still be able to get to umbraco (http://localhost/umbraco/) and install packages and skins from the developer section when repository is available.
I too have this same problem - the repository appears to be down - I just get a blank screen whether I view it from my desktop PC at work, home laptop, or iPhone.
And as per saurabh, localhost/umbraco sends me back to installation step 1.
Do we have an update on the state of the repository? Is it a known issue?
I had the same problem but finally I can solved it, I hope this can be useful for you guys too. The site http://packages.umbraco.org always was down (shows a blank page actually) so I changed the url in the browser from /install/?installStep=skinning (the step 5 where I stuck) to /install/?installStep=theend and It worked! (sorry for my Spanglish)
I tried the trick and changed the url as you said and installation completed.. but when I logined to umbraco Dashboard appear and getting errors like:
Could not load control: '/umbraco/dashboard/startupdashboardintro.ascx'. Could not load control: '/umbraco/dashboard/startupdashboardkits.ascx'. Could not load control: '/umbraco/dashboard/startupdashboardvideos.ascx'.
also if we create new content no document type is found..Step-5 which we bypassed is compulsary because it loads required packages for Umbraco
I got the same problem when I installed umbraco into a subdirectory. I had manually changed the paths to all the files to the new subdirectory ... ofcourse with the help of visual studio.
for example. I installed in a umbraco subdirectory
all the paths were intially pointing to /umbraco/.....

Pls. help me to resolve the issue.
Make sure you can get to http://packages.umbraco.org in your browser without error.
Repository might be down.
Don't worry.. you should still be able to get to umbraco (http://localhost/umbraco/) and install packages and skins from the developer section when repository is available.
Thanks for your reply...but I am checking the link 'http://packages.umbraco.org' for repository from last 3-4 days but still it is down.
Hence stuck in "Starter Kit Step". Is there any other way to install umbraco.
Saura did you get it?
No dear I am still facing the same problem. 'http://packages.umbraco.org' link for repository is down. I think I have to go for any other CMS.
Are you behind firewall?
If Yes, you need to add following inside <system.net> section of your umbraco web.config file to bypass proxy
<defaultProxy>
<proxy proxyaddress="http://ProxyAddr:Port" bypassonlocal="True"/>
</defaultProxy>
Please ask your sysadmin to provide you the proxy address and port.
HTH
I tried bypassing the proxy also but getting same problem.
'packages.umbraco.org' link even responding nothing on a system without any firewall.
I too have this same problem - the repository appears to be down - I just get a blank screen whether I view it from my desktop PC at work, home laptop, or iPhone.
And as per saurabh, localhost/umbraco sends me back to installation step 1.
Do we have an update on the state of the repository? Is it a known issue?
Anyone? Is there a way to stop localhost/umbraco returning to install step 1 while the repository is down?
I had the same problem but finally I can solved it, I hope this can be useful for you guys too. The site http://packages.umbraco.org always was down (shows a blank page actually) so I changed the url in the browser from /install/?installStep=skinning (the step 5 where I stuck) to /install/?installStep=theend and It worked!

Hi Facundo,
That's fantastic! Thank you very much.
I'd had a guess at a few querystrings, like "step6", "end", "complete", "completed" but hadn't managed to find the right one.
Brilliant.

Hi friend
I tried the trick and changed the url as you said and installation completed.. but when I logined to umbraco Dashboard appear and getting errors like:
Could not load control: '/umbraco/dashboard/startupdashboardintro.ascx'.
Could not load control: '/umbraco/dashboard/startupdashboardkits.ascx'.
Could not load control: '/umbraco/dashboard/startupdashboardvideos.ascx'.
also if we create new content no document type is found..Step-5 which we bypassed is compulsary because it loads required packages for Umbraco
The problem above is caused because Umbraco expects to be installed in the root of the web server.
I'd very much appreciate it if anybody could post instructions on how to place Umbraco with a sub-folder. Thanks.
Hi,
I got the same problem when I installed umbraco into a subdirectory. I had manually changed the paths to all the files to the new subdirectory ... ofcourse with the help of visual studio.
for example. I installed in a umbraco subdirectory
all the paths were intially pointing to /umbraco/.....
I changed that to /umbraco/umbraco/....
Now it is working fine.
cheers!
is working on a reply...
