Can't start installation wizard #625

Closed pkovacs19 closed 4 years ago

pkovacs19 commented 4 years ago

Hello,

I am having this exact issue as #290 . I am using iPeer-3.3.3 running on Centos7 server with PHP 5.4.

I am at the point where I am to go to <www.your-host.com>/<your-install-dir>/install

to start the installation wizard, but when I go there I am returned with a 404, "The requested URL /install was not found on this server." I do not see any "install" folder there, the only install files I can see are located at app/views/install. What am I missing?

I've unzipped the ipeer files to "/export/web/iPeer-3.3.3" which is also the root directory of the virtural host, so to my understanding, I should be able to get the install wizard to start up at <www.your-host.com>/install, is that correct? If not thats probably what I'm doing wrong. I have also tried <www.your-host.com/export/web/iPeer-3.3.3/install, which give the same 404.

Please let me know if you need any other information. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @pkovacs19. When first launched, no matter which app url you are trying to access, you should see the install wizard. A few things to check:

Thanks for the help @kitsook. I managed to get the installer to run. The 2 issues I had were to make apache user the own of the ipeer content and I had to downgrade mysql version (I was using 8.0 initially) and got it to work with MariaDB 5.5
