Self-hosting : Error 404 trying to setup

Self-Hosted | v4/Legacy

Hi all!

I installed InvoiceNinja on a subdomain, without setting SSL.

So, my root is /var/www/domain.com/html/ninja/public and can be accessed by http://ninja.domain.com

The root is set as such in the file located at /etc/NGINX/sites-available/domain.com

I’m using Debian, NGINX, PHP7.0-FPM and MariaDB.

My problem is that everytime I want to reach http://ninja.domain.com (or if I browse http://ninja.domain.com/index.php), it rewrite the adress bar to show http://ninja.domain.com/setup (or http://ninja.domain.com/index.php/setup) which result in an error 404 page not found.

Is there any guru here that could help me or point what I should look into? I think I’m close to make it work but needs to get over that issue.

Thanks!

If you’re seeing index.php in the URL it usually means mod rewrite needs to be enabled.

I’m not seeing it unless I specifically put it in the address bar.

If i browse http://ninja.domain.com the address bar get changed to http://ninja.domain.com/setup and it returns error 404.

Thanks for helping me!

Is mod rewrite enabled?

Thanks Hillel,

by insisting on mod_rewrite, you had me understand that NGINX doesn’t follow .htaccess. I had to add

" try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args; "

in the domain.com config file under server ninja.domain.com location.
