Could you plz check if your Mautic url starts with https in the config?
Gear icon \> Configuration \> General Settings \> Site URL ?
If no, plz change to https, then
```auto
bin/console c:c
bin/console m:a:g
```
!! Open form + save !!
check again?

After I ran the 2 commands, I can’t log in mautic instance, how do I restart the mautic instance to login?

Can you show example what is in your var/log folder to understand why mautic doens’t work? Is the problem, that mautic has no writing access to the cache folder?
