Tried installing Magento 2 using setup wizard. All the checks were correct and installation was completed till 90%. After that it did not show any progress for many hours. When I run the http://localhost/magento_2, it takes forever to load and prints 503 error.

Service Unavailable_img

As mentioned here I tried debugging as Apache 2.4 changes the way certain directives related to .htaccess work.

Suggested solution on website

As a user with root privileges, enter the following commands:

a2enmod access_compat
service <name> restart

How do I debug this issue on my local WAMP server and succesfully install Magento 2 with sample data ?

See the browser console for JavaScript and asynchronous HTTP errors.
Also never install Magento on a top-level domain like localhost because, in contract to other CMS, Magento does not work properly on a top-level domain.
Use something like localhost.com instead.

  • localhost.com is not the best name either because it is a real host, which redirects to google BTW – Alex Paliarush Nov 19 '15 at 18:44
  • There is no any JavaScript and asynchronous HTTP errors.In apache error console it shows PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded. but i have already set max_execution_time = 18000 in php.ini file. – Bijal Nov 20 '15 at 5:27
  • It seems that your max_execution_time setting has not been applied. Do call phpinfo() function from the Magento 2 website root and see the actiual max_execution_time vaue for Magento 2. – Mage2.PRO Nov 20 '15 at 5:53
  • I have called phpinfo() function and checked max_execution_time in it,It shows me max_execution_time=18000. – Bijal Nov 20 '15 at 6:24
  • memory_limit is also important and should be at least 768M. devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.0/install-gde/prereq/… – Steve Johnson Nov 20 '15 at 12:58

Could you enable the developer mode from the .htaccess file, or you can enable it from the cli

bin/magento deploy:mode:set developer

to let us see what's going on :)

I got the same error. Firstly to get rid of the 503 error:

Clear var/cache, var/page_cache, var/generation. After that assign 777 permission to pub/, var/ and app/etc/ folders.

Now, this type of error usually occurs because of the mySQL timeout. You can try increasing mySQL timeout by increasing max_execution_time . However, this may or may not work. So you can try installing Magento 2 using Command line interface. Command for it is as below:

sudo php -dmemory_limit=1G bin/magento setup:install --base-url=http://myip/myfoldername --backend-frontname=admin --admin-firstname=Admin --admin-lastname=Admin --admin-email=test@example.com --admin-user=admin --admin-password=mypwd --db-host=localhost --db-name=mydbname --db-user=mydbuser --db-password=mydbpwd

Also some points to note: avoid using localhost URL when installing magento2. You should use IP instead. Before starting installation, assign full permission to app/etc/, var/ and pub/ folders.

Hope this helps.
