That stack trace you found in the logs is expected when starting Baikal for the first time.

displays baikal fatal error: pdo is unavailable. It is required by baikal

That's the reason for Baikal not starting. You need to install pdo on your server.

php7.4-mysql is installed on the server. the pdo extension seems to be activated. (see .ini files in pdo.txt pdo.txt In the nginx conf file I modified the fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock; see the nginx file included baikal_nginx.txt

in issue #1036 it seems that the database should be created before. Is this necessary to create the database before installation wizard?

ByteHamster commented 2 years ago

You can create a new file on your webserver with only the content <?php phpinfo();. When opening that file in a web browser, it should have a section about pdo. If it doesn't, you need to find out how to configure this on your server.

It should look something like this:

Is this necessary to create the database before installation wizard?

Yes, at least if you want to use mysql, but that is not your issue here. The pdo driver is not found.

Thanks. It was probably a mixed of different php packages. Solved by : sudo apt purge php then follow tutorial https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-install-php-on-ubuntu/
