Times out on making first database

I’m setting up xibo server 1.6.2 with xampp v3.1.0 on windows server 2003

When I get to create my first database as part of the installation process, I enter my values and then it just sits stuck for several minutes, then goes to a screen that just says “Xibo Installation” and nothing else. No errors, links, or other information.

I have not put up any root user names or passwords.

The only config things I have adjusted:
Apache httpd.conf
Listen 1080
ServerName localhost:1080
php.ini
upload_max_filesize to 128M
post_max_size to 128 M
max_execution_time to 120
php_fileinfo.dll removed ;

When I tried creating the first database, the values I entered were
Host: 127.0.0.1:1080
Admin Username: root
Admin Password (left blank once, entered NO once, same result)
Xibo Database Name: Bulletin_Board
Xibo Databse Username: test
Xibo Database Password: test

Please, any advice would be welcome

EDIT: the page displayed did show a yellow warning triangle on the bottom. I clicked and it said
Object expected
install.php
line: 13
code: 0
Char: 4
URI: http://127.0.0.1:1080/xibo/install.php

The MySQL default port is 3306.
