Check PHP errors log

What do you mean when you say it breaks during install?

Does it stop at the point of your screenshot without any additional error message?

Can you enable display of error messages in your php.ini?

Can you look into your apache error log to find the PHP error?

Yes it does get stuck in same step "creating sample posts".

unfortunately i dont get any php or apache error :| i tried upgrading php to 5.10.13 and apache to 2.2.2 but it didnt help either

In cases like that, generally there is a PHP error but the server is configured to not show it for "security pruposes".

Alternatively, you can poke into the installer, search for "creating sample posts" and add "echo "123";" around the zone where you think the error may happen and it will help you narrow it down.

Nope nothing like that, like i said it's on my localhost, and i have display errors, startup erros track all etc etc.. But no errors there, no php error, no apache error, no nothing.I will of course find my way around, i just wanted other people not to suffer.
I'll look into it and post back if i find a solution

Yep, that's the easiest way to debug someone else's code.

Does the installer work if you choose not to install demo content?

Yup it did complete without any problems.It has something to do with sample content creation.

Where am i supposed to insert those echos ? How does that debug.php help anyway ?

OT: Is it the best idea to include a phpinfo file under install/ ? I mean as dangerous as it is to keep the install dir, i know that a lot of people just rename it to ins54tall or something instead of deleting it.

I just made a brand new 4.1.6 install and here is where it got stuck.

So, it goes a little further in 4.x, and stops earlier in 5.x.Therefore i guess it may have something to do with a timeout setting.It seems the sample data is getting bigger isnt it ?

How long before timeout?

What's your max memory setting for PHP?

Ok, figured.It was not memory issue.it was max_execution_time . The default was 30, i increased it to 180 and did two more installs, one took --45 secs, the other took around --90.

PS: what's with the special characters ? i used a tilde and it got converted.

PHP *does* throw an error when max_execution_time is reached. Your system probably does not display all error/warning messages.

I don't understand what you mean with i used a tilde and it got converted. ~

It does show and record php erros, i've double checked.Hope it helps someone else if they encounter such problem.it was definitely max_input_time or max_execution_time.
~strange, tilde did not get converted this time :P
