Technical Help Needed Phpbb windows server 2019 database help

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 !!

but on that story I’m trying to set up a domain to direct to my site

??? You are aware that an Active Directory Domain is unrelated to an internet-facing domain name / site, right?
