Chevereto Noob
🎯Description of the issue

I error out on a complete fresh install.
As soon as I go trough the installation steps, it errors out on "404 /install not found" after the refresh when the installer is done downloading an unpacking all the needed files
I have also tried downloading the zip and unpacking it in the directory, same error.

I am running an apache server trough WAMP, My permissions are correct, rewrite module is enabled and works. Using PHP 7.2.10 and have tried other versions aswell (7.1.5.22 and 5.6.38)


▶🚶‍Reproduction steps
  1. Put the install index.php in an empty directory of the website
  2. Click "free" (as im trying to see what chevereto is, before I want to buy)
  3. wait for the installer to refresh, after downloading and unpacking the .tar
  4. 404 error pops up with "can't find /install"
😢Unexpected result

Not able to install chevereto from a complete fresh install

📃Error log message

Apache nor PHP provides any error :(

When using Apache, you need to set AllowOverride All in your vhost settings, otherwise your server will ignore the .htaccess provided by Chevereto.

Apache Server
You will need Apache mod_rewrite. By default, Chevereto comes with a .htaccess file that manages the URL rewriting so you only need to upload this file and make sure that mod_rewrite is enabled and working

If you have issues with pretty URLs and Apache try enabling the RewriteBase / directive and make sure that in your virtualhost you have Allow Override All

Try restarting the server. If that doesn't help then you aren't modifying the file that Apache actually uses for your vhost.

Hey there, I just figured it out. It was indeed the AllowOverride.

The vhost was setup correctly, however WAMP installs like to hide some more settings in the httpd.conf. After changing another pair of AllowOverride settings, the page now lets me continue with the setup.

Thanks for the quick responses!
