For some weird reason, MariaDB 10.4 didn’t go well for me when I was trying to install mautic 3, could you try updating to 10.5 and retry. Also, Error 500 can mean a hell lots of things, but this can generally be due to some misconfiguration on your server, make sure your server block is properly configured e.g your apache config. ---

Hi @devsrealm, Thank you for the informations. The switch to MariaDB 10.4 was already an attempt to resolve, but it didn’t work. I will try 10.5 as informed. Regarding Apache, I’ve done several revisions and nothing has resolved. Do you have any special tips on what to configure? In fact, I use NGINX as well. ---

Unfortunately, after installation for MariaDB 10.5.4 the problem of error 500 remains the same. ☹ ---

Should we try it with Nginx? I am very certain it would work using nginx as I have done a lots of installation with mautic 3 using nginx. ---

Your script is taking too long to execute and thus timed out. change your max execution time, find your php.ini, find the following, and change the values as follows: ```auto memory_limit = 512M max_execution_time = 360 ``` ---

There are lots of stuff that might be affecting the installation behind the scene, without seeing what you’ve done right from the one set, it would be difficult to say what the underlying issue is. Before we go further, could you list all your installed PHP module, use the following command to do that: > yum list installed | grep -i php Copy the output, and paste it here. ---

I **finally** managed to install Mautic !!! Here is information about the problem I had in my environment to help the community. Basically being able to discover that the problem was in the process of creating the Mautic tables. To reach this understanding, I ran the following command from the Mautic console on the command line: `$> php bin/console mautic:install:data` This command recreates all the Mautic tables, to my surprise, this process took more than 40 minutes to complete. That’s when I started to analyze the MariaDB settings and arrived at this configuration in the `/etc/my.cnf` file ``` # # This group is read both both by the client and the server # use it for options that affect everything # [client-server] # # include *.cnf from the config directory # !includedir /etc/my.cnf.d [mysqld] query_cache_size = 64M tmp_table_size = 64M max_heap_table_size = 64M performance_schema=ON performance-schema-instrument='stage/%=ON' performance-schema-consumer-events-stages-current=ON performance-schema-consumer-events-stages-history=ON performance-schema-consumer-events-stages-history-long=ON skip-external-locking key_buffer_size = 16M max_allowed_packet = 1M sort_buffer_size = 512K net_buffer_length = 16K myisam_sort_buffer_size = 8M thread_cache_size = 16 slow-query-log = 1 slow-query-log-file = /var/lib/mysql/mysql-slow.log long_query_time = 1 wait_timeout = 60 # Don't listen on a TCP/IP port at all. skip-networking skip-name-resolve # required unique id between 1 and 2^32 - 1 server-id = 1 # Uncomment the following if you are using BDB tables #bdb_cache_size = 4M #bdb_max_lock = 10000 # InnoDB tables are now used by default # innodb_data_home_dir = /srv/mysql # innodb_log_group_home_dir = /srv/mysql # All the innodb_xxx values below are the default ones: innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:12M:autoextend # You can set .._buffer_pool_size up to 50 - 80 % # of RAM but beware of setting memory usage too high innodb_buffer_pool_size = 2G innodb_log_file_size = 48M innodb_log_buffer_size = 16M innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 1 innodb_lock_wait_timeout = 50 innodb_file_per_table = 1 [mysqldump] quick max_allowed_packet = 16M [mysql] no-auto-rehash # Remove the next comment character if you are not familiar with SQL safe-updates [isamchk] key_buffer = 20M sort_buffer_size = 20M read_buffer = 2M write_buffer = 2M [myisamchk] key_buffer_size = 20M sort_buffer_size = 20M read_buffer = 2M write_buffer = 2M [mysqlhotcopy] interactive-timeout ``` As the script’s execution time is very long, the page falls due to time out and we received the famous error 500. After all the settings, I started the installation process via the browser again. If after all these configurations, you still return error 500 (you will be `YOURDOMAIN.COM/installer/step/1.1`), **you must wait for the process of creating the tables to finish** (check the processes running on MySQL) when finish, simply change to `YOURDOMAIN.COM/installer/step/1.2`, so the installation process will continue. **Summing up:** If error 500 occurs in step 1.1: `YOURDOMAIN.COM/installer/step/1.1` After creating the tables, change to step 1.2: `YOURDOMAIN.COM/installer/step/1.2` And finish the installation. ---
