Unable to set field type for new fields, or change for existing fields

How Do I?

Hi all,

Using ExpressionEngine 6.2.7. Successfully installed it, and logged into the control panel. Created a new field group. Went to create a new field…

…and am unable to select a field type. The “Type” dropdown field won’t drop down.

I’ve tried using Opera, Firefox, and Chrome.

My database user has all permissions.

While I do use a lot of Text Input fields, I do use a few others, so this is kind of a blocker.

I deleted that site and database, did a fresh install, did NOT install the default theme this time…and there are still several things I can’t do.

  • I can’t set a field name for a new field.
  • I can’t associate a field group with a channel.
  • I can’t associate ANY group with a channel.
  • I can’t create new entries.

I’m hosted on a LAMP stack, PHP 7.3.2, MySQL10.2.37, DirectAdmin control panel. The EE Wizard said that I was totally set to install and run EE. My database user has all permissions.

I’ve submitted a ticket with my web host, but if anyone else knows any other troubleshooting steps, I’d appreciate the pointers.

I had a copy of v6.2.3 and tried installing that as well. Same issue. So this isn’t tied to a specific version.
