i had same problem when trying install neos aimeos web shop package (http://aimeos.org)

the problem mod_rewrite wasn't set up. solve had perform tasks (ubuntu 14.04 in case):

sudo a2enmod rewrite 

this enables mod_rewrite first. have adapt vhost configuration. default vhost config located in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf (in fedora or other linux distributions directory might named /etc/httpd/...). in file, change documentroot neos ./web/ directory, e.g.

documentroot /var/www/neos/web 

furthermore, need add "directory" directive below "documentroot" line allow .htaccess files add rewrite rules:

<directory /var/www/neos/web/ >     allowoverride </directory> 

keep care named directory in "directory" directive same in "documentroot" , contains trailing slash (/). last task restart apache:

sudo service apache2 restart 

afterwards, should able open http://localhost/setup in browser. beware: http://localhost/index.php/setup still won't work!

the next problem can timezone isn't set in php.ini. open php.ini apache , add "date.timezone" line @ end:

sudo nano /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini  date.timezone = europe/berlin 

you can use timezone if fits better location. list of valid timezones available @ php web site: http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php
