I need help being stuck with manually reinstalling Moodle 3.9.1+ (Build 20200903) on my server (PHP 7.3, MySQL 5.7)
The "Server check" tells me that all the minimum requirements are met and installs Moodle after "Continue".
The database and the directory "moodledata" are created.
But the next page is almost empty and shows only "Installation / System", nothing more.
URL: /admin/index.php?cache=0&agreelicense=1&confirmrelease=1&lang=en
The installation page should take a few minutes to load as the database installation is being done. It shouldn't stop completely.
Check the web server logs for errors. If config.php has been created (in the Moodle site's source code folder) try adding the following lines to enable debug messages:
@error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);
@ini_set('display_errors', '1');
$CFG->debug = (E_ALL | E_STRICT);
$CFG->debugdisplay = 1;
Alternatively, if you have SSH server access and are comfortable with the command line then you can try use the admin/cli/install.php script (or admin/cli/install_database.php if config.php already exists).
This looks like the database installation did not complete. The database installation should have occurred during the "Installation" page in your first message.
If this is a new site then delete the Moodle database. When you access the site in your browser you should again see the "Installation" page and hopefully this time it will load successfully as the database installs. If it doesn't, with the $CFG->debug lines in place hopefully there will be details.
