Running PHPbb locally on Apache Webserver

[lowkey]

Hi everybody,

i'm an absolute newbie considering webdevelopment and i'm desperately trying to get PHPbb up and running on my local Apache installation (OS X 3.7).

First of all, Apache is working like it should, I already installed the latest versions of PHP and MySQL. Despite of that, when starting the installation of PHPbb it simply does not work:

I get the startup dialog, where i can put in all of the information needed to create a new database, but when applying these settings, getting a new blank startup dialog is all that happens (after a minimal loading delay).

Is there a way to see, what really happens in the background? I mean, some sort of log, that contains information about why it might have failed to install?

Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

phpbb will display any errors it encounters on the screen as its exed, you might be able to check the mysql log and apache logs

im not sure of there locations on your os but usually found in the installation folders.
