System -> Web setup wizard missing

[Malansocosio]

I need to access the component manager in my fresh Magento 2.1.1 installation, but the web setup wizart link is not present under the System catergory in the backend. Is there an alternative way to get to the component manager? I have tried just adding /setup to my url, but that doesn't work. Any other suggestions?

My magento environment:

• Arch Linux
• Magento 2.1.1 CE
• PHP 7.0.11-1
• 10.1.17-MariaDB (SQL server)
• Nginx 1.10.1-1

Many thanks in advance.

In your NGINX site enabled cfg, change:

root $MAGE_ROOT/pub;
for
root $MAGE_ROOT/

ps: don't forget to put it back on /pub when you've finished with Web Wizzard ;)

Thanks a lot for your quick response, it worked perfectly.

This is front-end only bug.

If you access it with 'hidden' redirect, it works, you don't need to reconfigure your web root (plain wrong thing to do, and still official Magento devs suggests it!):

Web Setup Wizard menu still missing, but when you type http://www.shop.com/admin_xxxx/admin/backendapp/redirect/app/setup/
redirects tohttp://www.shop.com/setup/#/home and then all works as expected...

[commcad]

I have no idea what you worry about, but thanks for the shortcut/tip none the less ;)

1. You'd need to know the shop's admin_xxxx
2. For the redirect to function, you need to be logged in (does work!)
3. More importantly; Web Wizard have never really worked anyway.

With that said, who cares then lolll

@commcad one topic is if you cannot even access it, while whole another is whenever it works as expected. We're talking here about just accessing it.

Officially, only GNU/Linux is supported for Magento2. I would strongly advise you not to play with Windows or OSX here. For the start both are case insensitive.

@Malansocosio , do I understand correctly that this issue is resolved and can be closed?

[veloraven]

@Brody182 you should create separate issue for your problem formatting its description according to the Issue reporting guidelines.
However I'm afraid that in your case it will be just closed as MacOS is not supported: Magento technology stack requirements

[ghost]

well that not true, I can still install it on my local machine ( macOS ) if I have the right environment, apache or nginx, php ect. The only problem i'm having is with nginx, it works fine on apache.
must be a misconfiguration or something

[timstoel]

@commcad Is this a good idea in production?

I do not feel that this issue should be closed. Changing the Nginx config to use it, and changing it back, is not a solution in a production environment. I have also tried the URL workaround method and it does not work if you are using Varnish because it redirects to domain.com:8080/setup which gives a 404 because it is bypassing Varnish and 8080 is not open to the outside world.

Hello,

I have tried all the above recommendations but still cannot access Web Setup Wizard.
when I use
http://www.shop.com/admin_xxxx/admin/backendapp/redirect/app/setup/
I get a half loaded page
and a lot of error messages

Access to the script '/var/www/html/mag/setup/index.php/session/prolong' has been denied (see security.limit_extensions)" while reading response header from upstream, client: xx.xx.xx.xx, server: _, request: "POST /setup/index.php/session/prolong HTTP/2.0", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock:", host: "www.shop.com", referrer: "https://shop.com/setup/"

Hello,

This issue should not be flagged as closed. As this is not a fix:

In your NGINX site enabled cfg, change:

root $MAGE_ROOT/pub;
for
root $MAGE_ROOT/

This issue happens on a fresh install and it more than likely has to do with the nginx.config.sample file and NGINX vhost.

A valid permanent solution is welcome.

Tested on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS LAMP using Magento 2.2.1 w/ NGINX 1.10.3

Using Magento's NGINX recommended configuration.

Thanks!

Blame it on the wizard for making it disappear ;-)

Just to note that I have the same issue. The offical magento secutiy scanner tool reccomended we make the change from

root $MAGE_ROOT;
TO
root $MAGE_ROOT/pub;

Upon doing this the security scanner passes but now the web wizard has dissapeared Our site is set in production mode.

We need to know how to fix this ridiculous bug. Why with document root setted to /pub Web Setup Wizard disappear from menu and it is not reachable directly with url?

[RWCC-LTD]

@LucScu - I have since found a work around for the time being.

While i cant access it from the magento navigation if i create a symlink to the /setup directory from html/pub directory i can then access the web wizard through https://www.**WEBSITE**.com/setup In order to do this you need to already be logged into an admin session in the same browser.

[LucScu]

@sjhill-rwcc Did you run in pub folder ln -s /home/magento/htdocs/setup/ setup?

[RWCC-LTD]

@LucScu - my folder structure is slightly different but based on your folder structure you need to place your shortcut in /home/magento/htdocs/pub which should be called "setup" and route to /home/magento/htdocs/setup

Does that make better sense? - basically you are allowing magento back access from the pub directory to the setup

.. if you are in the pub directory already then yes, your command will do the trick

[LucScu]

@sjhill-rwcc yes, i did it correctly, but this trick not works for me, thx for your hint.

[aliasifmse]

how about configuring nginx documentroot to serve without pub , if url contains setup ?
