Hello,
During Joomla 3 installation you can face the problem of installation "freezing". It is a common issue for those user who want to make Joomla 3 installation locally . The installation process is not stopping, it is running and running forever... Why is it occurs? Because Joomla can't create table in your database
Method № 1
Go to Joomla folder:
Go to wamp
wwwyour-joomla-folderinstallationsqlmysql and open Joomla.sql file
Find this term in Joomla.sql file:
"ENGINE=InnoDB"
Replace it with:
"ENGINE=MyIsam"
MyIsam is more supported and compatible with Joomla.
NOTE: Do also the same with (sample_data.sql) file, if it's quickstart setup.
Method № 2
Open "index.php" file in Joomla installation" folder and add "set_time_limit(3000)" line after "define('_JEXEC',1);"
