Installation issues with 5.6.3

Permalink 1 user found helpful
When installing 5.6.3 on my LAMP server the install file shows that the server is compatible. The problem is that c5 just freezes during the installation. I've tried the server as both localhost and 127.0.0.1 and I get the same result, it seems to install but then at the end the progress bar turns pink and everything stops. Whether I load the main index or hit the back button on the installer screen I get booted back to the beginning with a note that the database is no good because it contains 171 tables. Yes, I have deleted the database file several times and started with a new empty database and the exact same thing happens.

Hi!

Maybe there is some information in the server/apache log files?
Did you install the needed apache and php modules/extensions or just install in a browser that tracks all http requests(firefox/webdeveloper toolbar).
