Installation setup looping

[ukvirtual]

I've managed to hurdle plenty of obstacles to get the installation working, and just when I thought I'd succeeded, I get to the last page of the install process, fill in my superadmin details and hit next, only to be taken back to the "Installer Requirements" page???

If I then run through the process again, when I get to the User and Airline setup page, it wont accept the ICAO or user  email as it exists, so I know the setup worked.

 

How to I clear the flag to tell it that the install is complete?

Have you tried going to the site to see if the site actually got installed? Also what version are you trying to install?

What do you mean? The installer is the site... If I navigate to my server address (http://myserver/index.php), it redirects to the installer page (http://myserver/index.php/system/install?step=requirements), as it should when you first run it. Problem is, I've completed the installer and it still loads that page. I'm guessing there's supposed to be a flag of some sort (database entry?) that tells the framework to load the index.php page instead of the installer once you've set it up (like I have)..

 

I've installed the latest version 7.0.4, have PHP 8.4.8 installed.

Try with php 8.2

Do a fresh install - new database and downloaded zip file. 
 

Did you use install option 1 or 2 ?

 

Let us know the outcome.

I'll have a go with PHP 8.2... It's my own webserver so a direct upload..

Ok, I've uploaded the latest Dev version from https://phpvms.cdn.vmslabs.net/phpvms-latest-dev.zip

 

I now get this when trying to setup the DB (dependancy page is all "ok"'s):

 

Couldn't write .env file. (ErrorException: file_put_contents(/var/www/html/mysite/.env): Failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/html/mysite/vendor/nwidart/laravel-modules/src/Support/Stub.php:135 Stack trace: #0

 

I've set all folders from /www/ to my admin user and chmod 775. Files are 664 for the most part. I had to set bootstrap and storage to 777 to get things to work so I'm not sure how safe that is but still I'm getting the above permission error? As a test, I set every folder and the Stub file in the path above to 777 and I still get the same perms error so I'm clearly missing something?
