[SOLVED] Not able to install v5.1.14 error 500

[Giovanni]

Hi,

I’m experiencing the same issue.
I’m trying to install the self hosted v5.1.14 on ubuntu 20.04.02.
I’ve also tried the v5.1.12

I’m using the self hosted guided for ubuntu from Technically Computers per:

Install Invoice Ninja v5 on Ubuntu 20.04

I’ve tested these instructions in a VM running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS so it should work for the most part, just the same in Ubuntu 20.04 server as well, I have used Ubuntu server in the past and I can’t imagine why it would be any different unless there are some repository issues. OK. First steps: Install dependencies $ sudo apt update $ sudo apt dist-upgrade -y $ sudo apt install gcc g++ make php php-{fpm,bcmath,ctype,fileinfo,json,mbstring,pdo,tokenizer,xml,curl,zip,gmp,gd,mysqli} mariadb-serve…

The only thing I’m adding is the following two composer lines before the install:

composer require ‘jean85/pretty-package-versions:^1.5 || ^2.0’
composer require sentry/sdk
composer install --no-dev

When opening the website I land on the /setup page.
I’m able to pass everything inside and when continueing it reloads the setup page.
Forcibly going to the url again takes me to an error 500 page.

I’ve done a new run of the installation and turned on the debug and get the following error:

Sincerely,

Giovanni

Thanks for the error details, it may help to run php artisan key:generate

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion, during the install I already run it but somehow we are one step further.
Now I’m recieving the next error:

Hi ,
This command fixed mine: php artisan migrate:fresh --seed. Run it in the sites root directory and itll make all the tables, after run the setup again and it should work!

Hi,

Ran it and did the setup again, now runnning into the next error:

I also did a completely new install and running into the same problem.

I’ve been able to solve the last error as well by running:
