multiple wordpress sites on synology DS918+

I have a Synology DS918+ and have read various blogs/articles on how to create serparate instances of Wordpress so that multiple websites can be hosted without sharing a database.
These are a few of the resources I've used:

http://sridhar.blog/install-multiple-wordpress-sites-synology-nas/
https://www.oppedahl.com/wordpress/
https://synologywordpress.blogspot.com/

Each takes me very close but I can't get past the dreaded "HTTP ERROR 500"

I have managed to get as far as http://mytestdomain/wp-admin which prompts me for the database name, the username and password but I can't get past this point - each time I get HTTP ERROR 500

I've pretty much run out of things to try.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Synology are disk arrays. Likely no bearing on Apache (or other Webserver) Internal 500 errors.

Refer to your Apache error logs for reason of 500 error.

Also enable WP_DEBUG in your wp-config.php file, as this may provide further information.

Tip: Likely you've already done this... and... be sure to create your empty database using correct user/pass/host before starting up your WordPress installation process.
