Magento 2 setup hangs on 89%

Question

Magento 2 installation page (step 6) freezes on 89% where in console log it stops on:

Module 'Magento_ConfigurableSampleData': Installing data..

in my /etc/php/7.0/cli/php.ini file I have the follwing:

max_execution_time = 18000
max_input_time = 18000
memory_limit = 2G

What is wrong? why it does not continue after reaching 89% even if I wait for 1 hour?! how can I fix it?

note that the following is my php version:

PHP 7.0.5-3+donate.sury.org~wily+1 (cli) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) 1997-2016 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v3.0.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2016 Zend Technologies
    with Zend OPcache v7.0.6-dev, Copyright (c) 1999-2016, by Zend Technologies

and the following is my Apache2 version:

Server version: Apache/2.4.12 (Ubuntu)
Server built:   Jul 24 2015 15:59:00

in /var/log/apache2/error.log I have the following at the time of the setup:

PHP Fatal error:  Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /var/www/magento2/vendor/magento/framework/Image/Adapter/Gd2.php on line 63, referer: http://[IP address]/setup/

Answer 1

Try following

• Create phpinfo() file and check max_execution_time is 18000
• Restart your Apache and try again

Answer 2

Magento does not log the actual errors. Try increasing the value for max_allowed_packet of your mysql server.

To increase the value, open /etc/mysql/mysql.cnf in a text editor and locate the value for max_allowed_packet. Save your changes to mysql.cnf, close the text editor, and restart MySQL (service mysql restart).

To optionally verify the value you set, enter the following command at a mysql> prompt:

SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'max_allowed_packet';

Answer 3

Try to increase max_execution_time in php.ini to 18000 (30 minutes). And then restart your Apache Web server.

From official Magento dev doc:

we recommend you increase the value in php.ini to 18000 (30 minutes). You can use a larger or smaller value if it helps.

We can read more here: http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.0/install-gde/trouble/php/tshoot_70pct.html

Update: Following the @Steve Johnson comment, we currently have a problem with 7.0.5 version, please use 7.0.4 version.

There is a known PHP issue that affects our code compiler when using PHP 7.0.5. We recommend you not use PHP 7.0.5.

[EDIT]

Install the Magento software using the command line. It works out of the box.

http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.1/install-gde/install/cli/install-cli-subcommands.html

For example command:

magento setup:install --base-url=http://127.0.0.1/magento2/ \
--db-host=localhost --db-name=magento --db-user=magento --db-password=magento \
--admin-firstname=Magento --admin-lastname=User [email protected] \
--admin-user=admin --admin-password=admin123 --language=en_US \
--currency=USD --timezone=America/Chicago --use-rewrites=1

Answer 4

Try MySQL commands :

SET GLOBAL wait_timeout = 7200;
SET GLOBAL max_allowed_packet = 1000000000;
SET GLOBAL net_buffer_length = 1000000;

I also had leke the same problems with M2 (sample data version) installation but on 67% point.

Clean M2 haven't this problems.
