I am trying to install phpbb 3.2 dev on my local board but the installation never completes. She stops at 11%, then 67% (installing modules) and is about it for hours ...

Im quoting the message from that topic as i am getting the same thing. Basic installation should work in most of the main environments.
hum, the loading indicator stops at 67%, but if you go to the forum root, you can login and access the board. So it works.
But the installer still needs some fixing.

PHP: 5.4.35
MySQL: 5.5.41
Apache: 2.4.10

Could you please create a ticket with the javascript console log message (you should have one) what the installer produces for you?

Where do i get that log? The installer just stops at 67% and thats all. It doesnt say it completed the install. But it seems to do so, as if you are browsing to the board and delete the install dir, it is working fine.

Installed it locally and didn't have a problem. Actually my extensions are now returning no route found for GET when rewrite urls is on.

There might be a log in your browsers javascript console (i think in most browsers it is calls developer log or something similar), as the issue might be caused by a PHP warning which is written to the output therefore breaking the JSON syntax, which might cause the problem you've experienced.

Did anyone try to install 3.2a1 in different language than English? I have partially translated install.php file, but when I change language, the installation wizard stays in English.
