I was stuck from months around this issue, and I gave up. I did finally find the issue: http://localhost/setup/welcome?error=Please+enter+a+valid+parameter+email

Could I suggest to clarify in the documentation what is a « valid address », and even better, provide this information in the browser, instead of going straight back to the getting started page.

@jcheger could you please record a loom video for us to understand the exact issue from the beginning?

After installation, at the "getting started" step, I usually create a user "admin@localhost.localdomain" as main admin. This syntax is commonly accepted by most apps requiring an email as account name, but refused by Appsmith.

While using "admin@localhost.localdomain", the form sends back to the "getting started" page, without any warning or explanation.

Without an error message, or any explanation in the docs, I was turning aroung without understanding what was going on.

Tell me if you really want a video. My explanation should be clear enough.
