I am using Drupal 6.6 with PostgreSQL 8.3 and Apache 2.2.10 and Php 5.2.6 on CentOS -4 (64 bit).

After providing the database details, the next page gets stuck at "Initializing". However all the tables in the database are created. But the installation never reaches till 'configure site' option.

Am I missing something here?

Do you see any errors in the logging?

I got the thing to work by disabling Java Script from my browser (Firefox 3.0).

My Platform details were:
CentOS -4 (64 bit)
Apache -2.2.10
Php - 5.2.6
Drupal 6.6
PostgreSQL 8.3

Is this a bug in Drupal?? ( As I tried installing in Fedora 7 64 -bit and it got installed perfectly even with java script enabled in the browser).

If you think this is a bug you should raise an issue here: http://drupal.org/project/issues/drupal

I have failed with 6.6 both locally and 1and1.com - a total of 20 failed installs. It fails after setting up the database at the barberpole.

This is NOT 64-bit; however, it was the mention of FIREFOX that got me thinking. I'm using
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.18) Gecko/20081029 Firefox/2.0.0.18

SOLUTION: I installed from Internet Explorer. I did NOT try to disable Javascript in FireFox.

I had this problem and disabling js in firefox do not help.
I went to IE and finished the install process. Just copied the URL from firefox to IE.

Now, go back to firefox :-)

I got the same issue with LAMP
I just recreated the database and it made the trick.
