404 At Install?

[Owen]

I installed Blesta on my Ubuntu 18.04 Nginx server and when I go to my URL, it auto redirects to /install and then says 404. Is there any reason for that?

Blesta URLs rely on mod_rewrite, an Apache module. Nginx requires a special configuration to rewrite URLs to index.php, otherwise you must add /index.php/ in front of your URLs. See https://docs.blesta.com/display/user/Installing+Blesta#InstallingBlesta-Nginx for a sample config and required steps. If Nginx is running as a reverse proxy in front of Apache, then you shouldn't have to do this.

Also, to add.. if you want to have /index.php/ in your URLs, it's usually sufficient to just delete the .htaccess file included with Blesta from your server. That would certainly be the fastest way to get things working if you don't want to mess with your Nginx config.
