My Mautic version is: 5.10 My PHP version is: 8.2.20 My Database type and version is: 10.11.6-MariaDB-0+deb12u1 With Composer installed, I installed Mautic by running `composer install` from the folder where I extracted the installation files. I setup Apache virtual server and ssl certificate. When opening the web page with a browser, I am redirected to `/installer` url and get a 404 URL not found.

Hi can I get help on this topic? I described the installation steps using Composer, which seems to be one of the recommended installation paths. The description above was for 5.1.0 , and for 5.1.1. I have the same problem. Maybe should I add more details? Or am I completely off and should follow another installation path? Ideally I would like to have a production version. Thanks ---

Hi, do you have a .htaccess file in place? Is your path set properly in apache? ---

If you mean adding `docroot` to the DocumentRoot directive in apache Virtual Host configuration, I just learned it from another tutorial. Maybe it’s worth to mention it in the official tutorials / setup instructions - btw with this, now the web installation works! ---

By the way, if I follow the installation instructions available [here](https://github.com/mautic/mautic), there _is no_ `docroot` subfolder, and I still can’t open the web installer. If I follow [these instructions](https://joeykeller.com/mautic-5-composer-install-simplified/) instead, there _is_ a `docroot` subfolder and I need to add it to the apache VH configuration. If I do so, the installation works, but then the `/s/dashboard` path is not accessible. In both cases I don’t have a `.htaccess` file in place, and the VH configuration is: ``` // or /var/www/hmtl/mautic/docroot/ Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride All Order allow,deny allow from all RewriteEngine on ```
