404 error during install of 4.0.2.3

Hi
I am new to Opencart and trying to install onto my server. I have uploaded the files, changed the permissions on the config.php files to 777. The config-dist files have been renamed to config.php.

When I run the installer, I get the database config page which creates the tables in the MySQL database successfully. I then get a 404 error at: <<sitename>>/install/index.php?route=install/step_3&language=en-gb.

I am using aaPanel on a Debian server and have an NGinx 1.2.4 webserver. PHP is v8.3.

Do you have any idea what could be causing this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi!

Try to rename your .htaccess.txt into .htaccess

The 404 error in your OpenCart installation likely Skydiving Indians stems from incorrect file/directory permissions, issues with the .htaccess file or misconfigured NGinx server blocks. Double check database connection, PHP version compatibility and clear any relevant caches. Review NGinx error logs for clues. If the problem persists, try accessing the installation URL directly and simplify the installation environment.
