Can't install 'Standard' Drupal 7 Alpha 5

Please test again with the latest dev version (or with a fresh checkout of CVS HEAD) to make sure it hasn't been solved already. If the problem persists, please provide more info about your server setup (OS, webserver name and version, PHP version, Drupal version, and everything else you might feel is relevant). Do you happen to use an opcode cacher such as APC, xcache or eaccelerator?

I too have encountered the same error. In fact i have encountered this problem in A3 and A4 also, and today the same problem in A5. Have tried installing D6 and was successful on the same machine. Here is the config i am using:

OS: Windows 7
Server: UwAmp 1.3 (Apache/2.2.15 (Win32) PHP/5.2.13, MySQL 5.0.51a)
Browser: Firefox 3.6.3

Steps:
1. Chose the default (Standard) installation
2. English
3. Requirements = All green
4. Set up Database: All 'required' values provided.
5. Install Profile: The install bar successfully goes up to 'Module 14 of 28 completed' and the second line below the bar talks about Image module. Here the problem starts.

The install bar vanishes and the error mesg i get is:

-- Error Start --
The installation has encountered an error.
Please continue to "the error page" (quotes mine as this is a hyperlink in the page)
An AJAX HTTP error occurred. HTTP Result Code: 500 Debugging information follows. Path: http://localhost/d7a5/install.php?q=install.php&profile=standard&locale=... StatusText: Internal Server Error
-- Error End --

"the error page" hyperlink points to http://localhost/d7a5/install.php?q=install.php&profile=standard&locale=...
When i click on this link, it goes on to the further installation steps and at the end, it says that the installation was successful and i can visit the home page. When i try to reach the homepage, i see the Admin user logged in but can only see the main and top frame, but not the left hand menu frame.

At this point, i can see 55 tables created in the database, which has been freshly created for A5 install (it is not shared with any other application).

On reading the php error log, it says:
PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in C:\\UwAmp\\www\\d7a5\\includes\\database\\database.inc on line 1987, referer: http://localhost/d7a5/install.php?q=install.php&profile=standard&locale=...

Further, i delete everything and install again, including a new database. This time, i choose Minimal. The installation goes on successfully and i when i reach homepage, everything seems fine and i see a full page with left menu frame. But on clicking the Administrator link, it probably times out again as i get a blank page after a few seconds.

Let me know if you need more info from my side to sort this issue out.

@gc: In your case, since this is a local install, you can probably just raise the max_execution_time in php.ini to a value higher than 30.

Thanks that sorted out the problem for me.

I have the same problem with the latest CVS version, but only if I using the Hungarian version of installer.
