Its been a while but I had some ask me to test some css on a moodle and so I thought I would do a local install to test stuff.
VirtualBox 64bit using Fedora 30.
php and apache seem to work OK.
I ran through the admin ...cli/install.php routine fine.
I can run a php.info file in /var/www/html and all seems fine.
I can put a index.html file in /var/www/html/moodle and see the content through a browser fine.
THIS MAY BE A CLUE If I do a fresh install, (I have done several) then the web based install script runs OK although I get stuck at 'the installer can't create /var/www/moodledata' hence I use the cli installer and have a 777 moodledata folder with apache:apache as the owner-group.
Moodle puts some stuff into the moodledata folder such as cache etc and so that seems OK.
However, when I try to visit https://localdomain/moodle I get the white screen.
I have done several reinstalls and get the same issue every time.
There is nothing in the apache error log.
Any suggestions for diagnostics here?
