I am geting tired. I can install Drupal on ubuntu 11.04 64 bit. The Ubuntu is running on Hyper-V. I folowed all instructions
(https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Drupal).
After creating all tables in mysql database installation stack on "Page not found". I was googling many hours without any result.

It would help if you could give more information.
Did you ever get to the installation page in drupal (http://example.com/yourdrupaldir/install.php):
If yes, at what page did you get the 404 error? Is is a drupal page or is it an apache error page?

If you never got to a drupal page, your apache isn't configured correctly. From your ubuntu instructions:

If http://localhost/drupal6/install.php doesn't work after installing drupal but produce a "404 page not found" error instead it might be that drupal isn't registered with apache as it seems to be the case with Ubuntu 11.04. To fix this type the following two lines into a terminal:

sudo cp /etc/drupal/6/apache.conf /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/drupal.conf
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Since you are using D7 and installed manually, this doesn't quite apply to you. The instructions assume that drupal is located in the DocumentRoot of apache (check in your apache.conf file, whether the DocumentRoot is really /var/www) , and that the directory is configured correctly in apache.
For example, to setup a site outside the documentroot, enter the following to apache.conf:

Alias /drupal "/home/foo/drupal"
<Directory "/home/foo/drupal/">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

And then restart apache.

Hope it helps, Ursula

I don't know wordpress, but for drupal, the 

AllowOverride All

option is very important. If it's not there, you'd get the drupal default home page:
http://example.com (example.com should be substituted by your url)
with a message: No front page content has been created yet, but every subsequent link would result in a "page not found" message from apache (you won't see the drupal theme).

If you see the standard drupal theme (Bartik in D7), but a "page not found" message, check that the home page has not been set to a specific node.

You can check in:
http://example.com/admin/config/system/site-information

If you leave the default home page empty, you should get the "No front page content ... " message.

To see whether the issue is in Drupal or in Apache, a screen shot would be helpful.

Page not found
The requested page could not be found. ..

This is what I am getting in the middle of installation. I do not know how to add screen shot to the post.

Any other idea? Why the same drupal 7.7 install without any problem om Xampp on Windows.

I am really disapointed

The page not found error I am gettting after setup database step and before install profile.

What is the url when you get the error?
Can you go to http://example.com/user
Can you go to http://example.com/admin/reports/status
Did you get any error message after the setup of the database tables?
Is your database partition full (command: df, look for the partition with your database)?
Are there any write errors for the database tables?
Do you see anything in your logs (apache logs or system logs, don't know the location in ubuntu, search for files called access_log and error_log for the apache logs, probably /var/log/messages or so for the system log).

Ok, I found the issue described in:

http://drupal.org/node/779482

There are a couple of suggestions in the post on how to overcome this issue. Hope it will help you.
The easiest to try would be:

The only thing rescuing the installation at that point is to manually visit the current location without POSTING again (eg a GET of install.php?q=install.php&profile=standard&locale=en&op=start&id=1). Then Batch API kicks in and the install completes.

For some of the other suggestions: I don't have an ubuntu installation, so I can't verify the file locations etc.

My issue is little different. The "Database configuration" page did not display again. Just after filling database information 31 tables are crated and installation display "Page not faund" page.

rafael-adam commented

To exclude permission issue I done:
chmod -R /var/www/drupal
I tried install new drupal 7.7 gave the same error, after configuring database installation showed drupals "Page not faund" page.

Need more help.

Finally you found an error message that is a bit more specific.
The issue looks like http://drupal.org/node/1171756 in the Drupal core issue queue.
I would read that (long) thread, try the patches, and report your findings to that thread.

I found also that it is some settings in the server because the same version of drupal installed on XAMPP on Windows works well.

The new finding is that I discovered that everything is working well and drupal 7.7 installs to the End using Firefox. It is not possible in Internet Explorer. I can not force all users of our site to use Firefox , therefore it will be good to find which settings on the server make problem for IE. Maybe you can suggest? Maybe it some caching, which I do not know whre to look for.

I could not find any error i apache log, thus it is more related to drupal itself. I am getting crazy.

I get the exact same problem and can't figure out what is going on. If you get the issue solved, please let me know.

I had the same issue on my Debian system. It worked in firefox but not chromium. In my case the issue was that I had configured chromium to block all cookies and needed to whitelist the local domain I used.

Thank you so much for your comment! I had the exact same problem and it turns out that I block cookies by default. I'd never have guessed that this could be the issue.

FYI, I had this same issue with it only creating 31 tables and stopping. My problem ended up being the apc.stat setting. Turning apc.stat back on in opcode cache eliminated the problem.

I have researched The 31 Tables Problem -- see this comment for a semi-exhaustive list of things that have helped people work through this issue. If your fix does not appear in my list, contact me and I will add it to the comment.
