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!

You can type !ref in this text area to quickly search our full set of tutorials, documentation & marketplace offerings and insert the link!
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 - :(
