Thanks for sharing! I was very curious to try this. For me, on an almost new Ubuntu 18.04 installation, the command npm --install was giving me a permission error:

gyp ERR! stack Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/var/www/monica/node_modules/node-sass/.node-gyp'

it was fixed by running

 

sudo npm install --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root

(just in case someone has the same problem)

When I go through all the steps and have my machine up and running on Amazon EC2, I go to the public IP address and donr get the log-on page, but just the "Welcome to nginx!" page. What am I missing?

All I get is the nginx screen, too

Ensure that you have set your own domain name instead of example.com in the monica configuration file /etc/nginx/sites-available/monica.conf and use that domain name to access the monica installation on the server.

Running "php artisan setup:production" gives me following error :

In Connection.php line 664:

 

  SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'monica'@'localhost' (using password: YES) (SQL: select * from information_schema.tables where table_schema = monica and table_name = cache)

 

 

In PDOConnection.php line 50:

 

  SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'monica'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

 

 

In PDOConnection.php line 46:

 

  SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'monica'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

 

I have done the complete installation till here with root user. At this step I'm blocked. Can you help me , please ?

 

Thank you,

Sorry for the inconvenience. You can close this issue. I've re-installed PRM following the instructions in this link : https://github.com/monicahq/monica/blob/master/docs/installation/ubuntu.md  Everything works fine now.

Based on this installation guide (thanks!) I have installed monica v2.19.1 on debian with apache2 and php 7.3. More or less everything worked with minor adjustments, but in the last step I cannot access the web interface to set up my account.

I'm pointing my browser to the ip of my server (in my home network) and in the folder /public I get the login view of monica, where it's assumed that there's already an existing user. How can I access the screen where I register the user? Is there a special address?
