I have been following this tutorial: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/a-straightforward-guide-on-installing-web-facing-applications-on-a-vps
I have made it all the way until I have to insert http://your_domain/forum/install/
I’m getting a 404 error ‘The requested URL /forum/install was not found on this server.’
please help!
If you still haven’t figured out this issue, its rather simple. Apache created a bit different file structure for it’s default serving location than one described in guide.
Instead of it being /var/www/index.html where you copied and made forum folder it is actually /var/www/html/index.html
Basically one additional folder was added hence when you try to start forum installation and visit IP/forum/install it doesn’t load.
Just move your forum folder from /var/www/ to /var/www/html/
I wish someone form this company would answer as well. I followed that guide to the T had issues with the unzup mybb.zip
and when I get to http://my.domain.com/mybb/install - doesnt work - :(
PLEASE HELP
Hi @ronniem71. Did you see the answer above? That tutorial targets Ubuntu 12.04. On more recent Ubuntu releases, you would need to install to /var/www/html/ rather than /var/www/ If you are on Ubuntu 16.04, this tutorial should point you in the right direction for getting application up and running with the LAMP stack.
Yup somehow over the wee hours last night ( I haven’t sleep in 24 hours) setting this up.. I read that comment and then moved it, but now when I go to forum.eveminions.com it doesn’t work it only works if i go to forum.eveminions.com/forum
