"Something Went Wrong:" with no further details

gyedwab

Hello,

I'm installing Flarum on a server with PHP 5.6 and MySQL 5.5.

When I hit the appropriate address, I get the installation form, and when I submit it, I see "Something went wrong:" with no additional details.

Looking in the MySQL database, 13 tables have been created. (If I run the installation again, I get an error that says that the migration table already exists).

There don't appear to be any error log files created amongst the Flarum files on my server.

Are there any troubleshooting steps I can take to get more information on what went wrong, or to help resolve the issue?

I've tried dropping the tables and re-running the installation with no better results.

Delete the tables and remove the config file. If you re-run installation open the underwater screen (f12) and check under network for the last red entry, click on it to see any possible additional error messages. Or check your error log of your website.

It's hard to guess. Please follow the troubleshooting guidelines.

Also, please make sure you read the entire installation instructions.

Hi Franz and Luceus,

Thanks for the help! The underwater screen didn't have much additional data, but I somehow I overlooked the "Known Issues" in the troubleshooting guidelines-- turns out it was the ability to write to folders.

Thanks for your quick help!
