404 Not Found

[TerrySze100]

Hello,
I have installed Pufferpanel according to the steps but when I get in the site it showed "404 Not Found".
I'm using Ubuntu 16.10 server with nginx.
I believe it is some problem on the installation, are there any ways to fix?

What do the first few lines of /etc/nginx/sites-available/pufferpanel.conf look like? On a default setup, they should look like this:

server {
    listen 80;
    root /srv/pufferpanel;
    index index.php;

    server_name server1.domain.com;

    client_max_body_size 20m;
    client_body_timeout 120s;

    location / {
        try_files /public/router.php =404;
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\.php)(/.*)$;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index router.php;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
    }

    location /assets {
        try_files /app/$uri =404;
    }
}

If it does, then make sure the listing of /srv/pufferpanel has this:

app                 composer.json  composer.phar  install  logs    pufferpanel  src
CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md  composer.lock  config.json    LICENSE  public  README.md    vendor

If you don't perhaps you skipped a step.

Hello,
I have found that the "/srv/pufferpanel" did not exist as I forgot to unzip the ".tar.gz"
Now I solved the 404 Not Found error. However when I log in the website it showed the error in the image. My conf file is same as the conf for nginx. How can I solve it? (I think there's some problem on router.php)

My guess is that you haven't actually installed it. Refer to the install documentation. After you untar it inside of /srv you need to do the following:

cd pufferpanel 
chmod +x pufferpanel
./pufferpanel install

More info here: https://www.pufferpanel.com/docs

[TerrySze100]

Hello, I did everything accordingly when I install, including the chmod.
I guess there is some problem on the php file. Could you send me both php file so I can replace them via ftp? Thanks.

What is the result of you running the following command? (The last 10 lines).

cat /var/log/nginx/error.log

The log is saying that the file config.json is not found. This file is supposed to be found in /srv/pufferpanel/config.json. While you can recreate it with something like below, perhaps you want to attempt a purge and a reinstall. I think you get instructions on how to purge when you attempt to reinstall.

{
    "mysql": {
        "host": "localhost",
        "database": "pufferpanel",
        "username": "pufferpanel",
        "password": "[*hashedmysqlpassword*]",
        "port": "3306"
    }
}

When I installed the panel and when it asked for mysql detalis, I entered and it said "no permission to access to database". Is this the reason why the config is not generated?

[bkraul]

It is quite possible but I do not know for sure. Do you not have a privileged mysql account to use? I just use my root. I believe puffer uses it to create a limited user, a database and tables.

[TerrySze100]

I have created a user and a database for pufferpanel, and I granted privileges for it. Probably I skipped some steps, maybe just use the root as the mysql user.
Also should I recreate the config and put those details back?

[bkraul]

Just re-run the install and this time use the root mysql login. Let me know if that works.

The website was able to connect but this error occurred.
