Tried installing Magento 2 using setup wizard. All the checks were correct and installation was completed till 90%. After that it did not show any progress for many hours.
When I run the http://localhost/magento_2, it takes forever to load and prints 503 error.
As mentioned here I tried debugging as Apache 2.4 changes the way certain directives related to .htaccess work.
Suggested solution on website
As a user with root privileges, enter the following commands:
a2enmod access_compat
service <name> restart
How do I debug this issue on my local WAMP server and succesfully install Magento 2 with sample data ?

See the browser console for JavaScript and asynchronous HTTP errors.
Also never install Magento on a top-level domain like
localhostbecause, in contract to other CMS, Magento does not work properly on a top-level domain.Use something like
localhost.cominstead.
