Please enter a valid URL. Protocol is required (http://, https:// or ftp://) when Magento installing?

We need to disable URL validation here.

1. Open \app\design\install\default\default\template\install\config.phtml


2. Open file in your text editor and find the textbox where the base url is entered.

         It will be around line no 50. 



3. Remove "validate-url" from its class and save the file.

<input type="text" name="config[unsecure_base_url]" id="base_url" value="<?php echo $this->getFormData()->getUnsecureBaseUrl() ?>" title="<?php echo Mage::helper('core')->quoteEscape($this->__('Base URL')) ?>" class="required-entry  validate-url  input-text" />

4. After remove "validate-url" from its class. Now looks like:

<input type="text" name="config[unsecure_base_url]" id="base_url" value="<?php echo $this->getFormData()->getUnsecureBaseUrl() ?>" title="<?php echo Mage::helper('core')->quoteEscape($this->__('Base URL')) ?>" class="required-entry input-text" />

5. Now you can continue the installation

Magento: Product Review Form is not submitting.

While I submit the Product Review form in magneto but it is not submitting and not showing any error message.

Then I checked the Review form. I found some error in code. 

<?php echo $this->getBlockHtml('formkey'); ?>

was not writting.  So I added this code in "form.phml" of Review after form tag.

Now code looks like :

 <?php if ($this->getAllowWriteReviewFlag()): ?>

    <form action="<?php echo $this->getAction() ?>" method="post" id="review-form">

<?php echo $this->getBlockHtml('formkey'); ?>
