Same here with MAMP 2.1.3 - PHP 5.4.1.
Installation stops here:

UPDATE: Fixed renaming .htaccess.october to .htaccess and uncommenting RewriteBase with the current installation dir.

2° UPDATE: Just kidding. Nothing has been written to the db. Waiting for a fix.

This is a blank error message, we are still unable to determine why it happens.

I have tested with MAMP 2.2 and it installs successfully. Can you advise where I can find a copy of 2.1.3?

[micc83]

Nope, i've just tweeted em for a download link. Let's see 😄

[DanielHitchen]

I had this same error when using MAMP v2.1.3 (PHP 5.4.10), but as soon as I updated to MAMP 3 (PHP 5.5.10) I had no issues.
I think a similar issue to this was raised in #95, and as @daftspunk mentioned, PHP 5.4.10-12 should be supported, so whether it's a MAMP v2 issue, I don't know, but I had no issues as soon as I upgraded to MAMP v3.

I'm still waiting a response to get a download link for v2.1.3 to reproduce the error. In the while you could check 2.1.3 components:

Still having this issue with 3.0.5

[GianlucaGuarini]

The same problem here Mamp 2.1.3 PHP 5.4.10 OS Mac Mavericks

[krtek4]

I just add the same installation issue on Debian with xcache installed, removing xcache fixed the it.

Everything then works fine, but as soon as I reinstall xcache, I have segmentation fault of the PHP process each time I try to load a page.

I am running a Debian wheezy, the xcache version is 2.0.0-4

Might be an answer here:

When I updated to MAMP 3, this error went away.

[daftspunk]

Unable to replicate using the MAMP archive supplied.

I'm going to put this down to the new requirement of OpenSSL extension, the framework will die() when this isn't present; producing symptoms like this.

Please report a new issue if this is still occurring in future.
