Thanks to those already responded (Thomas and Michal) suggesting to look in the apache and owncloud logs.

a) The apache error log shows absolutley nothing added when accessing/submitting the owncloud initialisation page, but perhaps I need to enable a higher level of error logging here??? The apache access log shows just the various GETs and one POST - referring to /owncloud/index.php.

b) There is nothing that looks like a log file created by owncloud (I believe it should end up in the owncloud/data sub-directory - /*which remains empty.*/ )

By the way, the apache error-log shows the following whenever my apache daemon starts:

... [notice] Apache/2.2.21 (FreeBSD) mod_ssl/2.2.21 OpenSSL/0.9.8n DAV/2 PHP/5.3.8 with Suhosin-Patch configured -- resuming normal operations

Any other ideas?

Dear list

I have tried several times to configure owncloud (v2 and v3) on my FreeBSD server at home, but always get stuck at the very same point.

I should like some guidance on how to troubleshoot the process, if anyone here can assist. I can't find my specific problem in any of the existing forum/mail postings...

In simple terms, having installed owncloud either from FreeBSD ports or 'manually' from the binary and GIT repository, I am able to access the first config page where the admin credentials are requested and type of DB backend, I click submit and then... nothing.

I have also tried different browsers (IE 7, 8, Google Crome, Firefox) in case it was a client issue.

Always the same observed result, whether SQLIte or MySQL (after first configuring the MySQL user) is chosen.

My environment:
    FreeBSD 8.1 RELEASE
    Apache 2.2
    SQLite 3.7.9 & MySQL 5.1
<All the php modules listed on the owncloud requisites page - v5.3.8)>

My first question is: /*How do you debug the php scripts that are run?*/

The closest I've gotten to tracking down the problem is somewhere in the MDB2/Driver sections, but that was a somewhat blind goose-chase through the php code, trying to run each script in the chain one at a time.

Any ideas? I've read of others who are succesfully running OC on FreeBSD, or at least getting beyond this very first hurdle.
