Install.php?step=2 Error

A few days ago what I thought would be a smooth WP installation came to an abrupt halt when I was hit with an ‘install.php?step=2 Error’. I put it down to the fact that it was ftp related since it was around 6.30 in the evening and the internet connection was slow. So I uploaded all the files again but still had the same problem.

So I did a bit of research and found posts with ‘fatal error’, ‘not enough RAM’, the ever unhelpful ‘see http://wordpress.org’ until I came across this piece of advice: replace the problem url with ‘http://www.domainname.com/wordpressfolder/wp-admin/install.php’.

Worked like a charm.

I later discovered I had a permission issue which hampered the installation.
