Host OS: Debian 12.6 Bookworm Apache: apache2 2.4.61-1~deb12u1 PHP: PHP 8.2.20 MySQL: mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.11.6-MariaDB

Upon a fresh install on Debian, I am not able to get the install page to load. The apache log shows the following messages:

Hi @michaelShriver,

If you are installing under the librebooking folder, you should change this line: $conf['settings']['script.url'] = 'http://192.168.10.52/Web; for this: $conf['settings']['script.url'] = 'http://192.168.10.52/librebooking/';

NOTE: if you try to use this online, i suggest you use https:// instead of http://

[michaelShriver]

/var/www/librebooking is my Apache document root, with the release .zip file extracted directly in there so "/Web" is correct.

For future reference, I resolved the issue by installing php-mysql.

apt-get install php8.2-mysql
