Mautic won't recognize installation

Your software
My Mautic version is: 5.2.1
My PHP version is: not sure
My Database type and version is: Mysql 8.0

Your problem
My problem is: I am running Mautic in docker for a while now, send already a couple of mails out via this. When my web container was recreated it did not recognize the installation.

On my web container the config/local.php file is present and still filled with data from the installation.
The DB is stilled filled

However I am constantly redirect to the /installer page.

Steps I have tried to fix the problem:
add the MAUTIC_INSTALLED variable to the docker file but this does not fix the issue

I have the same issue, I didn’t find your post until I posted mine a few minutes ago. Same problem it always reinstalls the database over the top of the existing db schema.

I found on mine the issue to be related with permissions of the files.

Followed this step to recreated the correct permissions: File ownership and permissions — Mautic Documentation 0.1 documentation

Hey there,

Wow I am seeing so many people struggling with the installation of Mautic 5, I am guessing alot of it is due to composer, however it can also be installed without composer. My understanding is it is prefered to use composer as it will help in the future.

Anyway we provide both very cheap Mautic hosting as well as a wealth of plugins and great tutorials at Mailertizer. To get a full proof on installing Mautic 5 with composer check this one out here.
