I got this error as well. I changed permissions so that the sites/default directory was writeable. The install proceeded but ended up with this error:

An AJAX HTTP request terminated abnormally. Debugging information follows. Path: http://dev-civicrm-test.gotpantheon.com/install.php?profile=civicrm_star... StatusText: ResponseText: ReadyState: 4

This error is "normal"...

Normal in that CiviCRM is a requirement for the CiviCRM and Community Media Starter Kit (Moderate) and as part of CiviCRM's requirements, it checks for it's civicrm.settings.php file in the sites/default/ directory. I'm going to adjust that message to say something like...

CiviCRM has not been installed. This Drupal distribution requires CiviCRM to be installed before continuing. Please install CiviCRM now.

The other 2 errors are NOT NORMAL. I'm pushing the 4.3.1 update to CiviCRM this morning. You will see an update on your Pantheon dashboard that will allows you to pull that update to Drupal, CiviCRM, and all modules, themes, and libraries included in the distribution.

The second error about permissions to write to sites/default/files only happens when the Pantheon site is in Git mode. In SFTP mode, the install runs without error.

I just enabled SFTP mode to be the default for the product. This means the site will install in SFTP mode, but can be toggled to Git afterwards.

Automatically closed -- issue fixed for 2 weeks with no activity.
