Could someone from ez please advice here? I'm guessing it's caused by some strange server setup, but in any case, ezp should generate a meaningful error msg instead of timing out.
I'm uncertain of the hardware specs, so I've emailed the web host. How do you think this could affect the installation?
I've already tried increasing the max execution time (though using the set_time_limit() function), but that didn't work. It either timed out after 60 seconds, or returned to the initial screen of the installation wizard.
Have you tried the new release, 3.3-4 ? The database initialization has been somewhat rewritten. I don't think it'll solve your problem, but it might be worth a try.
