On the odd occasion, Magento decides to mess around with your intelligence slightly.
It usually installs all of the relevant files, with correct file permissions etc. However, my most recent install I had to check the file permissions for index.php as they were set to 644 – ensure that this is not the case and all directories are set as 755, all files are 644 but index.php is also 755.
In addition, when installing magento, a few times I have had a new domains which I have recently changed the Nameservers on, so I have utilised using the hosts file so I can carry on with the installation of Magento.
This throws up issues when trying to choose your “Base URL” – as shown below;
The URL "http: //www.magento.com/magento/" is invalid. Response from server isn't valid.
If you are getting this error on Magento install screen, then just check the option, SKIP BASE URL VALIDATION and you should be good to go.
