404 error on fresh install of Espo on new domain

[Hannah]

I've just installed Espo on a fresh domain and after following all the instructions for configuring for my Nginx server I finally managed to trigger the installation pages. I made it all the way through those to the point where I added a user account but when I then pressed finish it just showed a blank page with a 404 error message.

If I look in my console I can see the following errors:

espo.js:11899 Could not open `espo` cache.
GET http://espo.fsed.co.uk/api/v1/Settings 404 (Not Found)
GET http://espo.fsed.co.uk/api/v1/I18n?default=true 404 (Not Found)

Hi Hannah,

what version of php are you running?
could you try to install a past version like 7.2.0 and upgrading from there?

[rabii]

try to run php rebuild.php from the command line. might be issue with .htaccess

[Hannah]

Kharg I'm running PHP version 8.2.1

rabii I tried running that from within the Espo root directory but I'm getting the following error:

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{', expecting identifier (T_STRING) in /var/www/vhosts/fsed.co.uk/espo.fsed.co.uk/rebuild.php on line 32

I haven't made any edits to that file so not sure why it would be erroring. This is the content of the file:

include "bootstrap.php";

use Espo\Core\{
Application,
ApplicationRunners\Rebuild,
};

(new Application())->run(Rebuild::class);

Kharg I tried downgrading the PHP but when I do that I just get:

Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 8.0.0".

I updated my nginx.conf file again and added the following lines:

location /api/v1/ { if (!-e $request_filename){ rewrite ^/api/v1/(.*)$ /api/v1/index.php last; break; } }

location /portal/ { try_files $uri $uri/ /portal/index.php?$query_string; }

location /api/v1/portal-access { if (!-e $request_filename){ rewrite ^/api/v1/(.*)$ /api/v1/portal-access/index.php last; break; } }

After running 'sudo service nginx restart' again it now seems to be working.
