Stuck on installation- Need help - thjeske - 02-26-2019

I’m trying to install the latest version of opendocman

Have the files installed on JustHost server in /public html_folder/opendocman/
Data file is in root folder: mcemedia.org/
Have created the needed databases

CPanel 70.0 (build 66)
Apache 2.4.38
PHP 7.0.33
MySQL 5.6.41-84.1
Perl 5.26.0

When beginning the install by entering: mcemedia.org/opendocman, I get a screen with this info:

Looks like this is a new installation because we did not find a config.php file or we cannot locate the database. We need to create a config.php file now:
Create a Configuration File

Clicking on “create a configuration file” brings me to a page with this info:

Welcome to OpenDocMan. Before getting started, we need some information on the database. You will need to know the following items before proceeding.

Database name
Database username
Database password
Database host
Table prefix (if you want to run more than one OpenDocMan in a single database)

You will also need to create a directory (your "dataDir") where you plan to store your uploaded files on the server. This directory must be writable by the web server but preferably NOT inside your public html folder. The main reason for locating the folder outside or your web document root is so that people won't be able to guess at a URL to directly access your files, bypassing the access restrictions that OpenDocMan puts in place.
You can update your web server configuration file to prevent visitors from browsing your files directly.
<Directory "/path/to/your/documents/dataDir">
Deny all
</Directory>
Or For newer version of apache
<Directory "/path/to/your/documents/dataDir">
Deny From all
</Directory>
Or don't put your dataDir directory in the web space at all.
Or in a .htaccess file in the dataDir directory:
order allow,deny
deny from all
If for any reason this automatic file creation doesn't work, don't worry. All this does is fill in the database information to a configuration file. You may also simply open

Code:
config-sample.php

in a text editor, fill in your information, and save it as

Code:
config.php

and import the

Code:
database.sql

file into your database.
Let’s go!

Clicking on “let’s go” takes me to this page and stops.

Can you advise as to how to correct this?
