new install redirecting loop index.php install.php

[adman]

new install, ubuntu 20.04, fresh apache2, revive-adserver-5.0.5 php7.4 by default failed. down rev to php7.2

apache access log shows infinite loop:

get "/ad/www/admin/index.php" 

get "/ad/www/admin/install.php" 

where is the trigger(file, env variable, etc) to show that adserver has gone through the install?  any other suggestions?

which database server do you run?

[adman]

the plan is to use cockroachdb. i'm ok with doing mysql or pgsql. the docs look like I enter the db config during the run of install.php?? does the db config need to be in config file somewhere in advance?

[Ian]

hm, okay .. did you set a redirect in for example apache to use https or so ?

[adman]

I did not set anything. all configs are default. did not config tls. at some point I expect to add it via letsencrypt cert installed to apache.

I found the following in the install.php, uncommented it, re-ran. still nothing being logged to error.log in apache. still times out on infinite loop. anything else I should look at? maybe try a different OS and/or php version??

 

error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);

ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);

ini_set('display_errors', 1);
