Yes, I'm using binary FTP mode as default.
Have now results too - but I have "to pay" for it

, cause I'm loosing some server power. It's needed to disable ALL opcode modules (Zend, etc celebrator, APC).
Without some background informations this makes not really sense for me. A server can't have enough power. And Zend is the opcode module of PHP 5.5...

I have Zend enabled and could install. But there are a few other modules that seem to interfere.

I just did an install with the zend opcode cache enabled. no difficulty.
However. some hosts running old versions of modules like ioncube could be problematic.

In cause of velden's advice I've disabled all opcode cache modules.
Maybe I can catch the trouble maker with different preferences (hope it's not APC in cause of my APC powered Smarty

)
Edit:
Have enabled APC after installing and it seams to work.

The problem is solved thanks to the tip of @Velden.
I had some troubles with Zend Guard Loader. After disabling that one, installation completed successfully.
My webhoster added the installation file to the whitelist of suhosin.
And now the installation start screen appears.
I'll use this post also to point out the uploading process.
Instructions:
-------------------
- Upload the cmsms-<version>-install.phar.zip file to your web directory at your online webserver.
- Extract the files from the .zip file on your webserver
This will create a cmsms-<version>-install.php file, and another copy of this README file.
- Using your browser, navigate to <your web directory>/cmsms-<version>-install.php
For Example: http://www.mywebsite.site/cmsms-2.0-install.php
-------------------
Watch out during the upload process, because a FTP client will upload the zip with a wrong transfertype.
Solution thanks to cb2004
Yep, that does the trick. If FileZilla is in the 'Transfrer type' > 'Auto' then because of the PHP file extension it gets treated as ASCII. Sure this will be the same for many FTP programs.
Calguy doesnt recommend using ftp programs.

With all-inkl.com Hosting (widespread German host), PHAR installer fails and ends up in a endless redirect when php is in CGI mode with simple htaccess rule AddHandler php55-cgi .php.
Standard PHP 5.4.26:
Installer:
http://beta.cmsms.it/cmsms-2.0-beta1-install.php
PHP Info:
http://beta.cmsms.it/info.php
PHP 5.5.10 in CGI mode:
Installer:
http://beta.cmsms.it/cgi-test/cmsms-2.0 ... nstall.php
PHP Info:
http://beta.cmsms.it/cgi-test/info.php

A redirecting problem is probably a bug that we can work around. Just like any other bug, the person with the ability to fix the issue has to be able to reproduce it. Then it can be fixed.
That's why we have a beta process.

This actually seems to be a PHP defect or a PHP-FPM defect (not sure if php-fpm is a third party addon or not, I didn't research that).
if you google for "php-fpm redirect loop" you'll see about 28,000 hits about similar problems for all sorts of PHP based products including WP, sendy, owncloud, and more.
Additionally, there is this bug report in PHP
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67587
That seems to indicate that this bug will be resolved in the next releases of PHP (5.4.x, 5.5.x and 5.6.x).

I have a different problem. My error:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PharException' with message '__HALT_COMPILER(); must be declared in a phar' in /hsphere/local/home/ziggekatten/dev.skanskakustfiskeklubben.se/cmsms-2.0-beta1-install.php:8 Stack trace: #0 /hsphere/local/home/ziggekatten/dev.skanskakustfiskeklubben.se/cmsms-2.0-beta1-install.php(8): Phar::webPhar(NULL, 'index.php') #1 {main} thrown in /hsphere/local/home/ziggekatten/dev.skanskakustfiskeklubben.se/cmsms-2.0-beta1-install.php on line 8
Googling around, I have tried to disable all kinds of stuff in my .htaccess (xcache, huoshin etc), without success.
Transfered the installer using binary FTP(no SSH access to my web hotel).
PHP version 5.4.29

Allright, after cleaning up my .htaccess i now get the nice screen.
Now it stops on page 3, telling me that I do not have write access to all files/catalogs.
Is there ANY way to debug what file/folder it's complaining about?
Done chmod recursive som many times now without luck, and need to drill down further.

Have you tried to activate php error messages?

I am going to close this post.
Several fixes have already been done in the SVN and can be tested in the second beta which will be released soon.
Thanks all
