"frozen" installation on Xampp lite

Permalink
Hi everybody,

I apologize on advance if my issue is too basic, I am pretty new to concrete5. I have been looking around in the community to find a similar topic, but I had no luck.

I am working (I have to) on windows XP with the web server Xampp lite installed on a USB.

Xampp is working fine, it executes my php code and I can handle perfectly my mySQL databases.

My problem is that I cannot install concrete5 on my USB Xampp

- I unzip concrete file on the right folder (\xampp\htdocs)
- I access localhost/concrete_folder
- Installation starts and several tables (around 70) are created in the mySQL database
- Installation gets frozen on "creating database tables..." :-(

I am installing it as root, and I have checked that root has all privileges for the database. In fact, as I said, the installer manage to create several tables on the database. But then... nothing.

I am completely blocked. Any hint?

Thanks!

The usual reasons are php memory allocation/limit or apache execution time limits. I would start by checking php memory allocation.

Try installing and directly running a basic phpinfo script to see what your configuration is and check it against the c5 installation requirements.
