Every time I try to install...

theMackabu

Every single time, after a successful composer install, and database setup, I have been getting the same error, after even trying it on multiple different servers. The error is everywhere.

Everything has been 404

Most likely your rewrite rules are off. What webserver do you use?

luceos Where are the correct rewrite rules?

Nginx

I use Apache which uses .htaccess instead of the files mentioned in the replies at the linked thread so I can't verify if it works.

This is my current nginx site config.

    listen 80;
    server_name play.theend.link;

    root /var/www/html;
    index index.html index.htm index.php;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
    }

    location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
    location = /robots.txt  { access_log off; log_not_found off; }

    access_log off;
    error_log  /var/log/nginx/pterodactyl.app-error.log error;

    # allow larger file uploads and longer script runtimes

EvilExecutor so, I need apache?

EvilExecutor

Nope. You can use Nginx

well ive updated the conf

    listen 80;

        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        include fastcgi_params;

        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;

    location ~ /\.ht {
        deny all;
    }
}

and debug mode still gives error 404

theMackabu

Could anyone assist?

When using Flarum in a subfolder with nginx, you might need to define two try blocks, one for the main application, and one for Flarum.

That's what I use on one website where Flarum is hosted at /forum:

location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}

location /forum/ {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /forum/index.php?$query_string;
}

This assumes you followed https://docs.flarum.org/install.html#customizing-paths to remove the public folder. Don't forget to also update the location block that protects sensitive files (add /forum prefix):

location ~* ^/forum/(\.git|composer\.(json|lock)|auth\.json|config\.php|flarum|storage|vendor|workbench) {
    deny all;
    return 404;
}
