The install fails if the server is running php safe mode. There are several references to this issue with work-arounds that didn't work for me (ex. http://twbasics.tikiforsmarties.com/Fixing+Installation+Problems).
The problem (at least for me) was that I do not have access to /tmp. It turns out to be related to a bit of code in initlib.php that doesn't check for an empty tempdir. I added additional code return ./tmp (and create it if necessary). See below. Code is commented "Safemode Fix".
static function tempdir()
{
static $tempdir;
if (!$tempdir) {
$tempfile = @tempnam(false, '');
$tempdir = dirname($tempfile);
@unlink($tempfile);
__ // Safemode Fix
if (!$tempdir) {
$tempdir = "./tmp";
if (!is_dir($tempdir)) {
mkdir($tempdir);
}
}__
}
return $tempdir;
}
