Update: when I changed the user/pass for the database I got an error message on the url. (Telling me it was the wrong one) so changed it back again. It redirects to the wp-admin/install.php as it should on first time setup but screen stays white until “too many redirects” error shows up.
Can it be an sql database/privileges issue?
——
Since my current webhost is sold to one.com I expect a significant change in its resources and looking into options for hosting my pages.
One of the options I consider is Google Cloud, and have been trying to follow this guide from Google to setup a WP installation on App Engine (flexible) https://cloud.google.com/php/tutorials/wordpress-app-engine-flexible
I have followed it fairly point to point, but still I get an error that ends the deployment. And a build log I do not quite understand.
Anyone able to help me see what I might do differently?
Thanks.
Attaching the last lines of the build log if that may be helpful.
