Bought a script on codecanyon 2 years ago. A school management system.

Installed it on subdomain: test.example.com

Installation url is test.example.com/install/step0 which leads to a 404 page, but when I add test.example.com/index.php/install/step0 it opens the installation screen but when I click on next, it goes to test.example.com/install/step1

What's going on? How do I make it load the right controller automatically? Script author won't help unless I buy support.

Please help.

You need to update your htaccess

Actually, got it to work by updating the htaccess. However, when I login after setting up the database connection, i get a http 500 error. The error is coming from the most updated version of the script so I reverted to the one i bought 2 years ago which is still working since I will have to turn the work in for the client. I will move the current script to a test server and fix this. Will update this thread. Thanks hollyfat.

You can turn on error reporting in the codeigniter script by changing the environment to development instead of production.

With that you will easily see what's causing the HTTP 500 error.

There's chances the error is being caused by some PHP functions used in the script that have been deprecated in your PHP version.

You know, even PHP 7.3 is different from PHP 7.4 as some functions available in 7.3 have been deprecated in 7.4.

So the error might not be that serious, it may be something you can fix in less than 1hr.

Thanks for that pointer. Didn't think of that...was checking the error logs a parse syntax error of an unexpected T_string...? Will look at it again today.
