^{Originally posted by **jareddewitt** February 24, 2023} I'm having issues running the installer after setup. When I browse to **http://your-domain/nada-folder-name**, i get redirected to **http://your-domain/nada-folder-name/index.php/install** and only a blank pages is displayed. This seems to happen in docker as well as a fresh install on nginx, php7.3, mysql.

I have the same problem.

@BioLionMM, try these:

1. Create an empty database to use with NADA
2. Update the application/config/database.php to make sure the database name and database user/name are correct
3. Edit the index.php file in the root folder and on line 66 change the environment to "development" from "production". This will show all PHP errors on the page.

Please post any error messages you get here so we can further debug what's happening.

@mah0001 I did as you said, and have this error:

An uncaught Exception was encountered

Type: mysqli_sql_exception

Message: Table 'nada.configurations' doesn't exist

But I am not supposed to create this table, right? My nada database is empty.

Are you on PHP8? The NADA 5.2.1 only supports PHP 7. For PHP8, you can use the branch nada-5.3 (https://github.com/ihsn/nada/tree/nada-5.3).

If this is on PHP 7, edit the database.php file and look for the setting db_debug and make sure db_debug is set to FALSE.

I used nada-5.3 and it worked! I'm seeing the page with the install database button. Thanks a lot!
