Getting Chyrp Lite running on NearlyFreeSpeech

Has anyone managed to get Chyrp Lite running on the NFSN service? They have PHP and MySQL support out of the box, but I had to dig up an 8 year old step by step guide on their members only forum to get PostgreSQL installed. As far as I can tell I have all the dependencies installed properly.

I used the phpmyadmin panel to set up a database. I used CHMOD commands to give all the files the proper permissions as indicated by the installer page, then proceeded to fill out the correct information.

However, thats when I run into a wall. when i click the install button nothing happens. The page just refreshes and nothing gets installed. The error log doesn’t show anything happening at all, so I dont have anything to go on when it comes to troubleshooting. I have no idea whats causing it to not work.

The only thing i can think of is that my PostgreSQL installation is busted in some way, simce thats the one thing that wasnt preinstalled on the servers. But i dont really know how to confirm or deny this. There’s no error messages, and everytbing seems to be running properly as far as i can tell.

I’m just conpletely at a loss for how to get this working. :\

Does Chyrp Lite have a default location where it puts logs?
I look at the requirements and it has support for MySQL so I wouldn’t be trying to run that when NFS makes “managed” mariadb available.

Although it doesn’t say so, that’s probably an implied PostgreSQL or MySQL or SQLite.

SQLite is probably easiest and cheapest of the 3
