Hi, Has anyone tried to install Mautic on Cloudways with Digital Ocean server or another server? I need help installing Mautic with Cloudways but their support wasn’t very helpful. Please point me in the right direction. Here’s what I tried so far: 1. Created a PHP Stack application on a Digital Ocean server with Cloudways 2. Installed Mautic with SSH using step one here: [http://freedif.org/mautic-opensource-marketing-email-automation/](http://freedif.org/mautic-opensource-marketing-email-automation/) 3. Could not follow the rest of the steps in above link ---

While these are not completely detailed, here are the steps to follow: - Download Mautic zip - Create LAMP stack application in Cloudways - FTP Mautic to the application folder - SSH to application folder to unzip - Start the installer process, use the database credentials that Cloudways gives you - Configure your crons ---

Great to know your that your problems is solved by Adam. But few things I need to add in it is that. When you unzip your file on Cloudways, sometimes you will see a permission issue, to solve that go to your application and then to your application settings and click on reset permission there. Also, you need to create a logs folder inside /public\_html/app for that log into Putty using Master Credentials, or Cloudways own terminal and create a new directory using it. P.S. I work at Cloudways ---

Hey, so i’m running into an error: PHP version 5.6.x requires the PHP configuration directive always\_populate\_raw\_post\_data be set to -1. This is handled automatically by the .htaccess file when using Apache and mod\_php5, but must be set manually in php.ini for other server configurations. Please add ‘always\_populate\_raw\_post\_data = -1’ to your php.ini and restart your web server. I tried adding always\_populate\_raw\_post\_data = -1 to the PHP settings, but it comes back as invalid. For the time being, I moved to PHP 7.0 instead of 5.6 but it’s not ideal for me right now. ---

Not sure why you would be getting this error, I had absolutely no issues like this at all.
