4 years ago I fixed it by reinstalling now. Here is what my issue was: At first, the .env file didn't have chmod 777 permission, because you never said it needed that in the Installation Documentation (same counts for like 5 other folders which also need permissions to fix Error 500 btw) When I tried completing the setup, it created the user, but showed me an error that the .env file wasn't writeable, so I made it writeable. Then I re-did the setup but it said my Data was already in use, so I deleted the account from the DB and tried it again. This time, the setup finished, but no new Account was created. I'd suggest making it a bit like WordPress does, so if the .env isn't writeable, give them the contents of it and make the user put it in there manually.
Edit: Okay even after the reinstallation it seems to not work. I can access the Dashboard, but the Main Page still puts me on the Setup Page. Edit 2: Now I gave permission to some more files and it works. Here is exactly what I did to fix this issue, Error 500 and the not writeable .env if anyone else is having this issue:
chmod -R 777 storage
chmod -R 777 storage/*
chmod -R 777 storage/framework/*
chmod -R 777 .env
chmod -R 777 bootstrap/*
chmod -R 777 bootstrap/cache/*
chmod -R 777 bootstrap/cachet/*
rm -rf bootstrap/cache/*
php artisan config:cache
chmod -R 777 bootstrap/cache/*
Hey there. After one hour fixing various issues with Error 500 and then with the installation process, it finally worked somehow. When I was on the last installation step where you create a user, it took like 30 seconds and then gave me an error and at the same time redirected me to the status page, which seems to work. There was no admin user created however. How can I re-create one? I don't want to go through the whole installation process again...
