• I’m using xampp on windows 7 and am attempting to install a new WordPress site locally. I’ve created a database and edited the wp-config.php file, but when I try to complete the installation process, it hangs on/wp-admin/install.php?step=2. The thing is, some of the tables get created but not all of them. I’ve retried this numerous times and the number of tables that gets created varies from 4 to 7. Obviously it isn’t a permissions issue, since some tables are created. I found this post http://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/installation-hangs-2 so I tried changing this line in my php.ini file:

    ; Maximum time (in seconds) for connect timeout. -1 means no limit
    ; http://php.net/mysql.connect-timeout
    mysql.connect_timeout=-1

    But it didn’t solve the problem. I’ve googled this problem multiple times and nothing has exactly matched my problem. Has anyone seen this? I’m really stumped.

    Full disclosure: I posted this on WordPress,stackexchange.com and my question was closed within an hour. Even if this isn’t specific to WordPress, I’d think that other people have seen it and can help identify possible causes. I’m pretty suspect of the low memory answer; I have 16 GB and am not running anything particularly advanced. I’m pretty good at troubleshooting but am new to the *amp stack so pointers are most appreciated.

  • Try checking your server’s error logs.

    Thanks for replying, esmi. I have checked C:\xampp\apache\logs\error.log and C:\xampp\mysql\data\mysql_error.log and nothing jumped out being directly related. So I deleted the files and tried again. No new files. Then I restarted Apache and got this in the error.log file

    Like I said, I’m new to this stack but my guess is nothing there is indicative of my problem. There’s also C:\xampp\apache\logs\access.log, but it gets big fast. Also, everything there looks like normal get/post entries. I know logs can be gnarly, but can you suggest what to look for?
