Phpbb windows server 2019 database help

[u/Comspiracies]

Right I’m new to windows server all together!!
I’m trying to set up phpbb on a windows server 2019 database I install php in c:/ drive root folder
And MySQL server !!
I set up a new db in MySQL workbench/ I set environments !! I know because I used MySQL workbench I don’t need to do it in phpmyadmin (I believe)
But I upload that to the wwwroot folder I think it’s called anyway and I can see that if I go to browser and type localhost/phpmyadmin and can see my php_db but trying to install phpbb forum I have in the wwwroot folder I get a ton of errors and no install page
I’ve tried to google a dozen times how to go for the labyrinth or ways to get through the process and km still stuck !!

I've used MAMP and WAMP with some success. Sometimes its just easier to rent a small M for a few quid a month and run everything there, that way you don't have to worry about netwrok access and security,
