New setup (no Docker)

[laurencijs]

Hello everyone!

I’m absolutely new to LinkAce, and I’m starting from scratch. In my setup, Docker is not an option, so I’m sticking with a non-Docker setup. My web server is nginx. Server Ubuntu 24.04, php 8.3
linkace.conf.txt

I’ve been following the instructions from here: LinkAce Setup without Docker. Everything goes fine until I try to open the web page, where I get a 500 error.

From the logs, I can see the following error:
2024/10/16 10:38:49 [error] 1726878#1726878: *1614 rewrite or internal redirection cycle while internally redirecting to "/index.php", client: <ip>, server: <fqdn>, request: "GET /public/setup/start HTTP/1.1", host: "<fqdn>"
Any idea how I can resolve this? I don’t see any setup directory with "start" under /public, nor in the zip file or the Git repo.

Thanks!

Best regards,
Lauris

Hi, thanks for taking the time to try LinkAce write about the issues you have with the setup.
I did not test the non-Docker setup a lot because I just don't use it.

Have you pointed your web server to the public directory? If possible, share your configuration and censor sensitive parts.

Hi Kovah,

Thank you for your response!

I'm not sure what more to add beyond my previous post. I've attached the nginx configuration file linkace.conf.txt, (had to rename the file as github wouldn't allow .conf) which contains everything related to the specific website. The PHP version in use is 8.3.

I am indeed trying to open /public, but there doesn't seem to be a setup directory under the public folder in the repository. Nginx seems to loop, as per the recommended config, and ultimately returns a 500 error.

If there's anything more specific you'd like me to provide, please let me know.

Thanks! Best regards,
Lauris

Indeed your config is wrong.

Replace root /var/www/linkace; with root /var/www/linkace/public;.
As written in the docs, the web server must point to the public directory, not the linkace one below.
