Problems during install of ver 2.3.6

    Everytime I've installed version 2.3.6, the installation hangs on step 3 of 6 ("Install aMember to this MySQL database?"). The browser hangs for several minutes after pressing "Next>>" and eventually times out with an error.

    Next, I press the browser's refresh button and receive an error that "config.inc.php" already exists, and that I need to delete this file before proceeding.

    So I delete "config.inc.php", press refresh again, and this time get an error that the table "amember_access_log" already exists. So I drop the table (which was created by aMember just a few minutes prior), press refresh once more, and voilla... it completes the installation.

    Has anyone else had this experience? It's a little disconcerting, but at least aMember ends up working in the end. Tx

    I am getting this exact same errors, but in opposite order. First the database table error and then the config.inc.php one. I deleted them both and refreshed as directed. The script was hanging for about 5 mins and then finally it brought me to step 6, saying install is complete.

    But.. I'm still uncertain as to whether it was installed properly, as the last step I did was #3 of 6, so what happened to 4 & 5?

    If install is complete, feel free to start use the script. Steps 4 and 5 are skipped, and it is not a problem.
