Toriko Are you sure that you uploaded the files to the right folder?

yagizhan49 upload files ? I follow document installation guide, there is no upload step.

Toriko Did you remove Nginx's default site? You should be able to do that by running this:

sudo rm /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
sudo service nginx restart

Bashing my head against the wall here too... I'm getting a 502 bad gateway after configuring nginx. Any thoughts on how to fix that?

Better show logs.

tail -f /var/log/nginx/error.log

and ps aux | grep php

Did some googling and got it to work.
I just have a quick fix for you:

bertaveira sudo rm /etc/nginx/sites.enabled/default

should be sites-enabled

also be sure to service php7.2-fpm start service nginx start and service mysql start

Got it to finally run on a docker now I can die in peace 🤣

Thanks for your post, it helped a lot!

Made a docker of 0.1.0-beta.8 if anyone finds it useful: https://discuss.flarum.org/d/19498-flarum-0-1-0-beta-8-docker-for-ubuntu-16-04
