stuck at Step 2

  • When installing WordPress, I am stuck at Step 2. The page says:

    Second Step
    Now wea€?re going to create the database tables and fill them with some default data.

    Then nothing happens. The page is done loading… There is no “Next” button or anything of that sort. It just sits there. I checked the DB, and there are no new tables in there…

    Does WordPress require an empty DB for the installation?

    Thanks,

    I did a search, but didn’t see those. It doesn’t look like they are quite the same problem I have been seeing, but I did do some more digging into this.

    It looks like I am failing at the following command during step 2:

    flush();

    At the same time the page is failing, I receive the following in the apache error_log:
    [notice] child pid 10007 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

    I’ll keep looking, but I’m not sure why the flush function would be causing this. ANy thoughts?

    Ok. Adding more information in the hopes it will help someone.

    I tried downloading and installing both from the .zip and the .tar.gz download files, same issue with each.. Even tried chmod -R 777 the entrie directory structure to see if that might get it further along. Nope.

    I am currently running Apache 2.0.48 on Linux with PHP 4.3.8

    Again, the install.php is working until it gets to Step 2 and the flush(); command, where it dies. Any help would be appreciated.

    I’m having the exact same problem too. I’ll be watching here to see if solutions are posted. This is frustrating! I hope it’s something silly and simple… ??
