F.A.Q.

Intro

These are the F.A.Q. for the WebPanel. Read them before asking your question

If you are stuck, there will be people that are happy to help you as long as you follow a few simple rules:

Ask Questions the smart way
Ask in the proper place (As explained below)
If you are missing a feature or have found a bug, create a feature request / bug report on GitHub DO NOT USE GITHUB FOR INSTALLATION SUPPORT
If you have problems setting up the WebPanel or have a generic usage question, ask in the Allied Mods Store Forum for help
If you want someone to setup the Webpanel for you, you can find a list with people who are able to setup the WebPanel at the bottom of this page. Some of those people might ask for something in return

First you have to enable Error Reporting by changing the following setting in your .env file: APP_DEBUG=true
With this setting enabled, you should get more meaningful error messages.
In addition you can find error logs in /storage/logs
Make sure to look at the correct time, because the server might be in a different time-zone than you are.
I would not recommend to post the entire log, because it might contain sensitive data.

Possible solution 1: on Linux, type sudo a2enmod rewrite && sudo systemctl restart apache2 (if you use apache2 as http webserver)
Possible solution 2: on Linux as well, type sudo chown -R www-data:www-data <path/to/your/store/directory> && sudo systemctl restart
Possible solution 3: If you are planning on using the web installer, then download the package from the releases page. Do not download the repository (not recommended nowadays because this web panel is very outdated, and CLI installation will most likely not work for you.)
Note: make sure to omit <> out from the path to your store directory.

There actually is an installer, but it doesn't have a directory. Make your website redirect automatically to the public folder, then manually type /installer in your browser to set everything up through the installer. If you cannot access the installer because of http error 500, then refer to the question above.

Downgrade your php version, it does not have to be systemwide. It's possible to downgrade the php version for just one site. This will keep compatibility with any other websites you might have, like sourcebans++. php5.6 - 7.3 should work. Do not go beyond php7.4.
