Im new to drupal but have a base in php and mysql. I decided to try drupal commons out but am having trouble installing it on my local host. I am on a mac book running up to date operating system. I am using Mamp for my local site as well.

When installing I get the following error:

An AJAX HTTP error occurred. HTTP Result Code: 500 Debugging information follows. Path: http ://localhost:8888/install.php?profile=commons&locale=en&id=1&op=do StatusText: Internal Server Error ResponseText:

I saw online that I need to increase the max time which I did and I even increased the max memory it could be but none worked.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot!

You do not mention the exec time you set. Did you restart the server? I don't mean to be rude, several times I have asked experienced people, who turned out to have forgotten, it is easy to forget. Another easy mistake is to edit the wrong php so it is maybe worth running phpinfo to check the changes have taken effect.

You could look at http://drupal.org/node/1487042. Another distro I know but often these distros are very demanding on the server to install.

You could also try a different environment on the Mac, eg. Drupal Quickstart (linux VM), or Acquia dev desktop. I have recently become a fan of the server built in to drush.
