Problem/Motivation

While installing Drupal via the CMS installer, selecting any site template results in a timeout error during the installation process.

The installer proceeds normally until the site template installation step, where it eventually fails with a timeout error (~60 seconds). This prevents the installation from completing successfully.

The issue is reproducible across both macOS and Windows environments. Added the screenshots of the error message.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Download the Drupal CMS installer (Mac or Windows)
  2. Launch the installer
  3. Proceed with the installation steps
  4. Select any site template when prompted
  5. Continue the installation
  6. Observe the error during the site template installation step

Maybe you're on a very slow connection and Composer just took a long time to resolve dependencies? We can try increasing the timeout in \Drupal\drupal_cms_installer\ComposerExecutor::execute() to something higher, like 300 seconds.

I increased the timeout in \Drupal\drupal_cms_installer\ComposerExecutor::execute() to 120 seconds in my local setup, and that resolved the issue. After the change, the installation completed successfully without any timeout errors.

Merged the higher timeout into 2.x and cherry-picked to 2.1.x.
