I just wanted to let you know that I could not complete a proper install of ELMS (drupal 6 dev or beta1) with a wamp 2.2d server. I always ended up getting this error :

An error occurred. http://xxxxxxxxxxxxx/install.php?locale=en&profile=elms&id=6&op=do.

I saw someone else having the same error in another issue and solve this problem by setting memory_max_limit to 512 and max_execution_time to 300 in php.ini but i already had theses settings set to 1024 and 600. So that wasn't it.

I tried to install it under XAMPP and it worked immediately (same problem with drupal commons).

I'm posting this here in case it ever helps someone else with this problem, or someone is interested in trying to figure out why it doesn't work with wamp (probably the php version, i had a similar issue while working with a drupal commons distribution).

good to note. I also now have trouble installing with the latest version of mamp because drupal6 has poor support for PHP 5.4+ {now the mamp default}. do you know what version of PHP it was trying?

the version of php of wamp 2.2d is 5.3.10. The version of the xampp i used is 1.7.7 and has a 5.3.8 php version.
Hopes this helps
