Do you want to continue? [Y/n]: Y

I am going mad!
The installer cannot be completed only on Dreamhost. I tried serval other VPS and found it works correctly.
What shall I do? I cannot change my hosting provider.
It seems that if I remove /home/fb_root/alfresco3/amps/alfresco-community-spp-3.4.b.amp , the command
/home/fb_root/alfresco3/java/bin/java -jar
/home/fb_root/alfresco3/bin/alfresco-mmt.jar install
/home/fb_root/alfresco3/amps /home/fb_root/alfresco3/tomcat/webapps/alfresco.war
-directory -nobackup
can be run correctly. But the system still cannot run!

Yeeeee,
I found if I install Alfresco without any optional components, it can work correctly!
But SharePoint is essential for my work. I'd like you can help me with this!thx!

EDIT: Additional Information: According my hundred times testing, I found I can only install OpenOffice. If I select other component in installer, The installation would failed. So I think maybe the common part of SharePoint, Records Management, Web Quick Start, Web Project Management and Quickr Connector Support has some problems.
I hope you can help me with this as soon as possilbe Smiley Happy

EDIT: I tried to install Alfresco on another computer and then packed the install directory and upload it to my Dreamhost host. I tried to execute this in database:
mysql> SELECT anp1.node_id,             ->   anp1.qname_id,      
    ->   anp1.string_value      
    ->   FROM alf_node_properties anp1 
    ->   INNER JOIN alf_qname aq1 ON aq1.id = anp1.qname_id                         
    ->   INNER JOIN alf_node_properties anp2 ON anp2.node_id = anp1.node_id      
    ->   INNER JOIN alf_qname aq2 ON aq2.id = anp2.qname_id                         
    ->   WHERE aq1.local_name = 'password'   
    ->   AND aq2.local_name = 'username'      
    ->   AND anp2.string_value = 'admin';
+———+———-+———————————-+
| node_id | qname_id | string_value                     |
+———+———-+———————————-+

+———+———-+———————————-+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Then I can ligin now. But I am not sure if the SharePoint or other components can work correctly. Is there any way to install Alfresco on Dreamhost? thx!
