1.5.5b - clean install stuck on installing database

[pasi]

I'm doing a clean install of 1.5.5b and it gets stuck on the database creation step with the bar at 99%

Cause is a timeout:
2016/11/23 12:09:51 [error] 6013#0: *1250 upstream timed out (110: Connection timed out) while reading response header from upstream, client

Which is a "problem" with my slow database server and not really a ZC bug...

BUT, it seems the SQL queries are executed and the database is created... It's the ajax system that hangs because of the timeout, preventing to moving to the next step or do anything else.

As a result, the config file isn't created and the install remains incomplete.

Any advice?

Unless you are using a dial-up modem, I would ask your host why a seconds-long process is timing out.

Should also have information logged in the install logs found in, well, the logs directory.

Are you finding this to be specific to v1.5.5b ?
(It shouldn't be, since little was changed in the installer, but it would be helpful to rule it out.)
