I got this up and running after making some weird changes. I don't understand why it worked though.

I have changed the app/code/core/Mage/Install/etc/config.xml as mentioned here from

<extensions>
    <pdo_mysql/>
</extensions>

to

<extensions>
    <pdo_mysql>1</pdo_mysql>
</extensions>

But doing this DIDN'T solve the problem! In fact, the installer page now went into a redirect loop. I have reverted this change, and restarted the stack again.

This time, it was showing error messages when I was clicking on continue (strange). I have changed the connection host to 127.0.0.1 in app/etc/config.xml and this time it gave an error message like this: Error parsing body - doesn't seem to be a chunked message.

Checking the Skip Base URL Validation Before the Next Step box as mentioned here fixed the problem. Now the site is up and running... thanks to everyone! :)
