Install stops part way through with no message

Permalink
Got through entering the database to the progress bar. It goes about 15% of the way, then disappears and sits forever. The database has a bunch of tables in it. I re-created the database and tried it again, same thing. What information should I provide to solve this?
php 5.4.26
MySQL 5.1.73

Changed the php memory limit to 128MB as suggested elsewhere with no effect (was 64MB).
The precise stopping point is after the progress bar indicates that it is adding the administrator, just after adding database tables. The progress bar then disappears.

Server: Linux web935.opentransfer.com 2.6.18-371.3.1.el5xen

Concrete 5.6 works fine on the same server, as I have a functioning site using that.

Update:

Fixed by adding suggested application/config/concrete.php file:

<?php
return array(
    'session' => array(
        'handler' => 'database'
    )
);


Seems like this should be documented.
Also seems like the 128MB min for php should be tested for initially, since it apparently is a requirement.
