I'm new to Craft, and have a local installation of version 2.6.2789

I have created a section with its own field layout. Everytime I enable a matrix field in the field layout, the section entry form won't display anything.

Attached is the screenshot of the entry form itself.

This usually happens if xdebug is installed with the default nesting limit. You can either disable xdebug as PHP itself does not have a function nesting limit,
change the setting in your php.ini:
xdebug.max_nesting_level = 400

or in your PHP code:
ini_set('xdebug.max_nesting_level', 400);
