Stuck on step 1 - session token bugged? - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

as many others stuck on running progress bar after clicking "next" step 1 in joomla 3.0.2 installation.

i have checked different environmental things suggested in lot of others threads. have tried setting session.save_handler files , session.save_path valid writeable path, not seem change anything.

by poking around coding echo'ing debug information here , there have come down problem of invalid form token, , session::checktoken() redirect error message, not valid json passed javascript , no error occurs, progress bar keeps going.

i not know how solve ideas why session::getformtoken() not match?
