I am self-hosting an InvoiceNinja instance in a LXC container (Ubuntu 20.04) on a private network. The WAN will be able to reach the InvoiceNinja instance by way of a HAProxy instance on the same LAN exposed to the Internet. The HAProxy instance holds the certificate and handles the 443 request to InvoiceNinja passing it on to the InvoiceNinja instance. The InvoiceNinja Apache2 server listens on port 80.
Anyway, I think I have done everything correctly but when I attempt to browse to https://invoice..com, I am greeted with this:

I have absolutely zero experience with Laravel so this might as well be in a foreign language (to me).
thank you for the prompt response! Unfortunately I think my install may be more incorrect than first thought. For example, there isn’t even an .env file that I can find. I failed to mention this (sorry, it was late):
I can’t even navigate to the site to start initial setup
I’ve installed v4.x in the past but lost the LXC container in a catastrophic computer failure (and on top of that, my storage pool backup was corrupted so I could not use the backup). I’d like to use v5.x but if I can’t get this working I may just try my hand at 4.x, again.
so it sounds and looks like a configuration issue with mod_php - i haven’t used apache in a long time, but from memory you need to enabled only modphp7.4 + change the directory to execute the index.php file
Yeah seems everyone prefers nginx over apache2 in the invoiceninja community (considering recent events, I don’t blame them). However I have tried it with nginx before and run into the same problem. I am truly at a loss.
At this point I am willing to beg to see someone’s setup. Ill switch to nginx. I just need to get something up and running to import my backup from my v4.x that crashed
To be clear, I am not complaining; I am very grateful for your help and the community at large. I am just frustrated. I may just call it a day and try the docker install.
