[Owncloud] Need help to run owncloud on FreeBSD

[Martyn Hill]

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?
