Some unknown system requirement or setting not specified in the requirements is rendering Drupal uninstallable.
Manifests as: Cannot install Drupal, hangs at "Installing Drupal: Initializing"
I let it hang all night, tried 5 or 6 times. It managed to created some database entries (screenshot). The only install warning I got was no opcache (due to a recent update config problem), otherwise, I generally run bloated PHP scripts and massive D6/D7 sites on my local all the time and have no problems.
I have marked this as "critical" because, well, it blocks installation. Using minimal install, mariadb.
Here's the output of the error page when I eventually interrupt the process:
Error
The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later.

Here is my phpinfo(). I'm happy to give any other output, I use a debugger and can give useful debug information.
