Troubleshooting

Verify your database credentials in config.php:

Check database host (usually localhost or 127.0.0.1)
Verify username and password
Ensure database exists and user has proper permissions

Enable mod_rewrite for Apache:

                                            Bash
                                            Terminal
                                        

sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo systemctl restart apache2

For Nginx, ensure the following location block exists:

                                            Nginx
                                            config
                                        

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

Set proper ownership for web server:

                                            Bash
                                            Terminal
                                        

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/scriptlog
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/scriptlog
sudo chmod -R 777 /var/www/scriptlog/public/cache /var/www/scriptlog/public/log
