I've now spent the best part of my working week trying to get Magento 2 installed on our web host so forgive the slight annoyance in my post! I've installed 1.8 and 1.9 many times with no issues but this really takes the biscuit.
I seem to have stumbled upon all three well known issues (not to mention smaller ones).
The main one was continuous "exception SessionHandler::read()" errors during installation which, after numerous re-installs to try and fix, I've eventually decided to just set sessions to db instead of files - although even this seems to not always fix it.
I've now (not for the first time) got the error 403 error loading style sheets AND the "no admin page" error!
I've tried some of the proposed solutions such as modifying .htaccess and I even tried just not ticking the rewrites box during install, but almost every search in here seems to have different suggestions and almost all of them are based around hosting your own LAMP solution which I'm not doing.
To make matters worse, every time I want to retry the installation I have to delete and re-upload 41268 files via Filezilla which takes ages because I've yet to find a way to ensure that a partial delete of the temp install hosted files is bringing me back to a state where I can redo the install wizard successfully.
I've successfully installed MVC Asp.net, WP and Magento 1.9 on my host but this has just been a huge waste of valuable time and unfortunately my client needs version 2.0.
This shouldn't be that hard and given how many people have suffered the same three problems over and over in here I'm amazed that these weren't checked in the wizard during the supposed installation verification process. Many, many people run Magento from 3rd party hosts and they should be able to install with a similar ease to 1.9.
