Try to increase memory_limit to 768MB, and max_execution_time to 600s.
Before doing that, make sure your DB is cleared (i.e. all tables dropped).

Hi there.

I made sure that my DB is cleared (also try a new DB altogether). I also set memory_limit to 768MB and max_exceution_time to 600 (on .htaccess and also php.ini files).

I still got the same issue where it's stuck at installing database schema.

Are there anything else that I could try?

Thank you,

[frostshoxx]

I just checked with my host provider. Turned out the memory limit configuration has to be done outside the scope of my access. I am able to install Magento 2.1.1 now.

Thank you,
