How I access setup page after install right way?

PhongLe

I just install Flarum on a DigitalOcean Ubuntu successfully. I follow a tutorial at the link. Because this tutorial has not been active for at least 6 months. So, I create a new discussion ^^.
After installation, I try to open the Flarum setup page by Droplet's IP address. But I just see a folder like an image below. maybe I did something wrong or I left something required 🙁(

root folder

Check if public folder is accessible.

If you're not sure the tutorial you are following is up to date, make sure you check https://docs.flarum.org/install.html

In particular if you want to use Flarum without a public folder, make sure to follow https://docs.flarum.org/install.html#customizing-paths

If you keep the public folder, make sure you update your DocumentRoot so the public folder is the root of your virtualhost.

I just config the file at directory: /etc/apache2/sites-available/mysite.com.conf with content
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin phongle6893@gmail.com ServerName mysite.com ServerAlias www.mysite.com DocumentRoot /var/www/mysite.com/public <Directory "/var/www/mysite.com/public"> AllowOverride All </Directory> ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log </VirtualHost>

And now, when I access mysite.com, Its a blank screen 🙁

PhongLe what about when you go yoursite.com/public ?

PhongLe Its a blank screen

There is likely an error message in your webserver logs.

You can also look in the Flarum log file but if the page doesn't render anything it's more likely to be an Apache or PHP module error.

The DocumentRoot looks good in the config.

Because I already set DocumentRoot as public directory, so mysite.com/public will not show anything ^^

Thank you, I will check Apache and PHP log.
Is it require reinstall Flarum?

PhongLe can you confirm the version of PHP version you are currently running? The tutorial link you posted lists PHP 7.1, but the minimum required PHP version required to run Flarum is PHP 7.3+. Doing php -v via SSH on your server will tell you your PHP version 🙂

Thank you, I just update the PHP version. And now the Flarum setup page appears with some error. I will continue with it 😀

PhongLe let us know what error you're receiving and we'll be glad to help you troubleshoot further 🙂 it could be a folder permission issue or even a missing PHP extension that's required.
