Hi, possibly a very newbie question - I'm attempting to install silverstripe on my host, having been developing with it locally for about a week. The installer says I my host meets all the requirements, however, when I try to install, it hangs at 'Building database schema...'

Can someone tell me how to get debug information out? I have tried appending the querystring ?debug=1 and ?isDev=1 with no luck.

Host is running Linux/Apache/PHP5.0.4

You have to switch to developer mode. Add the following to the _config.php:

Director::set_environment_type("dev");
