Local installation?!

[jhmonroe]

Can anyone who has set this up locally help me get started with playing around with this? The installation instructions on the official site are very vague and I am getting blank error pages when trying to set up using MAMP. the installer does not just come up automatically. i messed with the conf file, tried copying it into the apache folder, etc

For MAMP and XAMPP you don't need to change anything for apache, you only need to unzip latest.zip to htdocs folder.

Can you please check C:\MAMP\logs\php_error.log to see if there are any errors?

I installed using MAMP and didn't encouter errors during install.
I downloaded latest.zip from https://www.vvveb.com and unziped inside C:\MAMP\htdocs
Then I accessed http://localhost choose sqlite and clicked install

Hey! Thanks for replying.
I tried with WP Local and MAMP. I tried in a subfolder (named vvveb) and also the root.
My MAMP uses a URL of http://localhost:8888 (with the 8888) which then redirects to http://localhost:8888/install/index.php and I receive the following error on the Browser side:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator at [email protected] to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

No errors inside PHP error log.

Inside the APACHE error log I see the following:

I am using a fresh install of MAMP I only used to test out Expression Engine last week and moved all of its files out of the main folder.

Installation:
MAMP 7.2
MySQL 8.0.4
PHP 8.3.14

The Internal Server Error error message is generated by apache when php generates a fatal error, some possible causes can be missing php extensions like php-xml/dom, it's strange that no php error is logged.

For subfolder install you need to change V_SUBDIR_INSTALL in /env.php#L46-L47 to the name of the folder.

The error is displayed directly when accessing http://localhost:8888/install/index.php or after pressing the install button?

My MAMP version is only 5.0.6 (7029) downloaded from https://www.mamp.info/en/windows/ maybe there are different versions and settings between Mac and Windows?

You can also try with XAMPP https://www.apachefriends.org/download.html or docker https://docs.docker.com/desktop/setup/install/mac-install/ the image is at https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/vvveb/vvvebcms
