After a minute or so, the installation stops responding.
System: Ubuntu 20.04 with PHP 8.1.3.
$ mkdir drupal && cd drupal && curl -sSL https://www.drupal.org/download-latest/tar.gz | tar -xz --strip-components=1
$ php -d memory_limit=256M ./core/scripts/drupal quick-start demo_umamiTo make it work again, you can stop and restart the PHP server, using the .ht.router.php in stead:
php -S localhost:8888 .ht.router.php
From Drupal Quick Start Command > Troubleshooting.
TBD
Figure out why the installation stops responding, and adjust the code to prevent it from happening.

kristen polThanks for making this issue. I had the same issues after trying to use quickstart for months awhile back and gave up. I’ve been using DrupalPod these days.

quietone commentedI ran into this yesterday. After the first page load the new site does not respond. I am on PHP 8.2.0 and Debian 11.
The workaround needed a modification for me. This is was worked.
php -S 127.0.0.1:8888 .ht.router.php.This problem does 'Render a site unusable' which could make it a critical, except there is workaround. Therefor, changing to major.
Comment #10
quietone commentedI tried again, starting in /tmp. That worked much better, the site responded normally. Previously, I started from an existing project directory.
This time I was able to test with standard and demo_umami. Both worked without a problem. However, with the standard install I did get the site to hang when it tried to download translations. I did not try the same with umami.
Comment #11
ressaThanks for confirming this @Kristen Pol and @quietone. I agree that this is Major.
@Kristen Pol: Perhaps you can add your OS, for completeness? Because if you are also using Debian/Ubuntu there's a pattern.
Has anyone else seen this (or not) on macOS, or other OS'es?

covic commentedHello people,
I am having this same issue in Drupal 10 just now, at windows 10 (need to make it run on this machine, meh), local host, unami test, PHP 8.1.12, frooze when seeting up translations, unfortunatly no workarround is working arround, but still trying...
(edit) Just found out that it seems to be a livelock condition (but not sure, almost zero resources used meanwhle), I leave it "running" while I double check environment variables, after 17 minutes instalation resumes.
Comment #13
ressaThanks for sharing @covic, it's really valuable to know that this happens on several different operating systems. Interesting that the installation revives after 17 minutes. Though I think for me, @Kristen Pol and @quietone, it only freezes after installation is completed, during browsing of the web site. Then again, if the freeze happens after 2 minutes, and your installation is slow-ish, it could explain it ... ?
I see this issue has 10 followers, and it would be awesome if you could try the command, and post your experience here. Please include your operating system and PHP version.

MickL commentedI am having the same issue: Everything freezes after a few clicks running "php -d memory_limit=256M web/core/scripts/drupal quick-start demo_umami". I am on macOS 14.0 and PHP 8.2.11.
Any news on this 1.5 years old issue?

ressaQuick Start is mentioned a few times in #2965681: Document using DDEV as the recommended Drupal local development environment.
Comment #19
ressaQuick-start still freezes after around a minute of browsing in Drupal 10.2.1. I tried upping memory to
memory_limit=512Mbut it still happens, so memory seems to not be the issue.Comment #20
ressaEDIT: A bit embarrassed to admit this, but of course I can't reproduce it with the method below, because I am not using PHP's built in server, but DDEV. So disregard the below :)
As a side effect of #3399873: Evaluate the whole idea of the Evaluator guide I tried the Quick Start command today, and it doesn't seem to hang any more, it just works. So I am closing the issue, but feel free to re-open, if you can reproduce the problem :)
I used DDEV with this method to check:
It was ready here: https://qs.ddev.site/

ressaThe update to SQLite 3.45 in Drupal 11 is a challenge, see Document or fix Drupal Quickstart command #7348.

sokru commentedStill an issue on 11.x branch.
Comment #23
ressaThanks for checking @sokru, it would be great if you could share your Operating System and PHP version, if possible?
@stasadev from DDEV graciously provided the commands to allow running quick-start using PHP's built in web server in DDEV, for development:
Copy the last part of the "One time login url" and use like this to launch in your browser:
ddev launch /en/user/reset/1/1749022638/TPUL789[...]123abcz/loginFrom Document or fix Drupal Quickstart command #7348.
To verify that PHP's built in web server is used with the DDEV set up above, check the "Response Headers" in your browser. You should see
X-Powered-By: PHP/8.3.21, and not DDEV standard Nginx (server: nginx) or DDEV using Apache (server: Apache/2.4.62 (Debian)).Comment #24
stasadev commentedAdding
-vvvto thequick-startcommand seems to work, at least for DDEV https://github.com/ddev/ddev/issues/7348#issuecomment-2934263399Or if there is a problem,
-vvvcan show more details.Comment #26
mradcliffeI believe I am running into this on latest head using the standard profile using PHP 8.5.
I get about 10 page requests before it stops responding. Then I Ctrl-C, use the
servercommand to restart the same install, and get another several page requests before it stops responding.I tried the
-vvvworkaround, and that seems to work as well.
