This is the last step to success. But I didn't meet the same problem when I install it from web browser.

How can I fix this problem ? Thanks

Since you can install it correctly from the web, my advice is that you install it from the web, then go to your installation folder, there is a file called install.log, which containes all the install log, and in the end of the file, you will find the installed configuration similar to the install configuration file you posted in your question, then you can compare whats went wrong.
