@claudioghirelli

you must aware in settting up Mautic. There are several things that have to happen in order for installation to go smooth.

1. Set UP to use PHP 7
2. contact host to have certain php extensions setup
3. make sure the php.ini is setup correctly

Once those are setup properly, installation go smooth
