    Possible Clean Install Self Hosted Fix

    Greetings, after a clean install, I kept receiving the error message that the API was working of 500 error on the api and so on. I could never get passed the page that checks all the php modules and version and database compatibility. I was trying postgres at first, then tried mysql, but same thing. The data/logs show that there was issues accessing the database. But this didn't make sense because the install never install the database, and there was no reason for it to be trying to query anything in the database because the install wasn't finishing.

    So if you're having similar issues, there's a script called rebuild.php, and it's located in the root directory.....

    -rwxr-xr-x 1 www-data www-data 1.6K Jun 13 10:02 rebuild.php

    From the command line in that directory, I ran the following...

    php rebuild.php

    After the rebuild script ran, I refreshed the installation page, and then I was surprisingly greeting with the page to create the admin password, and the installation finished.

    Hopefully this helps someone with possibly a clean install!

    Cheers, and have fun!
