404 Page During Database Setup

[ericrosenberg1]

LinkStack version

4.8.4

Description

When installing LinkStack, I get to the page to create the database, then I'm forwarded to domain.com/db and get a 404 error.

I can verify on the server the SQLite database was created, but can't move forward with the installation process.that the SQLite database was created, but I can't proceed

Details about your system

Linux server on Digital Ocean with CyberPanel and Open LiteSpeed Cache

How to reproduce

Upload and unzip the installation files. Navigate to the root and begin the install process installation.

Possible Solution

Improve error handling or installation workflow.

Additional Context

I've experienced this multiple times in the last week on different servers.

Can you check if you have all requirements ?

[ericrosenberg1]

I do, running PHP 8.3. When I tried again with a fresh set of install files and added a MySQL database instead of the SQLite option, it worked fine. I could also force my way through the setup process by adding ?4 and ?5, but that only showed me the setup pages, nothing saved. I suggest adding a fallback if the database creation fails to show a message page instead of a 404.

If you are using Apache, check if you have mod_rewrite enabled.

[ericrosenberg1]

It is/was enabled. I guess my biggest suggestion here is to provide some kind of error page that allows the user to go back in the process rather than a 404 page if there's an error during setup.

A 404 error suggests that your web server is making a request outside what the installer process expects.
