The installer detected a timeout

[Boobi]

I try to install phpBB3.3 on my pc in localhost with Windows 10 and XAMPP. When I run the installation I get the error:

The installer detected a timeout
The installer has detected a timeout, you may try to refresh the page, which may lead to data corruption. We suggest that you either increase your timeout settings or try to use the CLI.

When I go to apache error log I get this:

[Sat Jan 11 18:20:13.498490 2020] [ssl:warn] [pid 5724:tid 712] AH01909: www.example.com:443:0 server certificate does NOT include an ID which matches the server name

I suspect that phpBB installation is trying to install my localhost forum like it has an SSL certificate? How to disable it and run a normal installation on port 80? Needless to say, on the installation itself I explicitly specify port 80!

No phpBB does nothing at all with cerificates - that is a server configuration issue. Try Googling it for a solution (you need to add a file to your serer setup)

Well it's your server so you can change the timeout settings easily enough

I did change timeout settings, but it didn't help because the timeout is probably caused by the ssl thing. Do you have any idea why it happens? It's a simple xampp server on my laptop, not a real production server, how did it happen? Any ideas how to fix it?

Not sure why you are trying to use ssl on an xampp set up on your laptop - but as I said before you need to configure your xampp for ssl - it is not the default configuration. There is plenty of information on how to do it by searching.
