Thanks to those already responded (Thomas and Michal) suggesting to
look in the apache and owncloud logs.<br>
<br>
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???<br>
The apache access log shows just the various GETs and one POST -
referring to /owncloud/index.php.<br>
<br>
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 - <i><b>which
remains empty.</b></i> )<br>
<br>
By the way, the apache error-log shows the following whenever my
apache daemon starts:<br>
<br>
... [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<br>
<br>
Any other ideas?<br>

Dear list<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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...<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
I have also tried different browsers (IE 7, 8, Google Crome,
Firefox) in case it was a client issue.<br>
<br>
Always the same observed result, whether SQLIte or MySQL (after
first configuring the MySQL user) is chosen.<br>
<br>
My environment:<br>
FreeBSD 8.1 RELEASE<br>
Apache 2.2<br>
SQLite 3.7.9 & MySQL 5.1<br>
<All the php modules listed on the owncloud requisites page
- v5.3.8)><br>
<br>
My first question is: <i><b>How do you debug the php scripts that
are run?</b></i><br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Any ideas? I've read of others who are succesfully running OC on
FreeBSD, or at least getting beyond this very first hurdle.<br>
<br>
