Ok, So I set up a LAMP server using Ubuntu, installed Apache, mysql, and php 7, etc.
Installed phpmyadmin and set up the initial database and DB user.
OK, then I move the server files into the /var/www/html folder, I restart the machine. goto the IP Address of the VM and I get the initial "Configuration File Setup"
I enter in the db name, and it auto populates the user and password, so it IS seeing the database. I click "Submit" and I get a black screen and nothing else.
Since I am new but not completely unfamiliar to linux, I looked up some tutorials, these are the ones I followed:
any assistance would be much appreciated.
I ran into the same problem.
You can fix it by setting your php back to 5.4.45
Sorry for responding a bit late, things in private are a bit consuming at the moment.
Try the release from github @ https://github.com/eFiction/v3_stable/releases/tag/v3.5.6 and tell me if that helps.
