hello all
today i've installed and configured bWAPP on my debian 11 linode but an errors keep me from starting my pentestig session, here s what i ve done to install it:
downloaded and installed apache2,mysql and php
unzipped bWAPP on the /var/www/html folder
given permission to passwords,images,documents and log files in the bWAPP folder
changed database password value to "" (blank) in the settings.php file
opened the browser on the page 123.45.xxx.xxx/bWAPP/install.php
clicked on install, then it returned me a blank page
i've spent all day trying to resolve this error,only to find that this could be an sql error
what should i do?

How about a clue to the forum what you are talking about. This?
