It's MySQL Version 5.7.21, Apache 2.4.8, MacOS 10.13.3. phpinfo() seems fine. Webserver is fine. MySQL is fine. I'm really surprised there is no log file for the install. This could literally save me weeks of floundering and debugging!

You were right, there is something fishy with the php/apache/mysql setup. I downloaded MAMP and now it's 'working', but still failing: at least I'm getting an error message now:Unless you know exactly how to do it, setting up all of the separate server components to talk to each other isn't easy. MAMP does the whole lot for you in one click with all the parts set up correctly. I'd try that first.
