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.htmlwhere you copied and made forum folder it is actually/var/www/html/index.htmlBasically 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/
