WordPress installation does not get completed in WAMP server

Question

I have installed WAMP server on Windows 8 and am trying to install WordPress on it, but while installing it, I could not complete it. It's showing me the error like

http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php?step=2

After that, the process stops.

I referred to the question Wordpress Installation not getting completed, but it could not help me.

How can I fix this problem?

Answer 1

I hope that what solved my problem will help you, in php.ini, I set the max_execution_time configuration to 90 instead of the default value 30.

max_execution_time = 90

That isn't an error. It is an URL, and it suggests that the problem is here:

case 2:
    if ( ! empty( $wpdb->error ) )
        wp_die( $wpdb->error->get_error_message() );

That is turn does suggest that you have a database error. Make sure that your database server is running and turn on error reporting. I don't use WAMP, but maybe these will help:
