no installation page at example.com when installing in Ubuntu 18.04 was created by heeringa11
I tried to install LimeSurvey locally in Ubuntu 18.04 and strictly followed the instructions given at: websiteforstudents.com/install-limesurve...mariadb-and-php-7-2/

At https://localhost/ I get the Apache2 Ubuntu Default Page.
At https://localhost/phpinfo.php I get the PHP default test page


Instead of:
wget download.limesurvey.org/latest-stable-re...3.14.3+180809.tar.gz
tar -xvzf limesurvey3.14.3+180809.tar.gz

I ran:
wget download.limesurvey.org/lts-releases/lim....22.20+200617.tar.gz
tar -xvzf limesurvey3.22.20+200617.tar.gz


After having enabled the LimeSurvey Site and Rewrite Module, the LimeSurvey installation page should be found at:

example.com/

But this does not happen, I got a website with the message:


---
Example Domain

This domain is for use in illustrative examples in documents. You may use this domain in literature without prior coordination or asking for permission.

Can you tell why the installation page does not show up?

In which folder were you when you ran
Code:
wget download.limesurvey.org/lts-releases/lim....22.20+200617.tar.gz
tar -xvzf limesurvey3.22.20+200617.tar.gz

In the provided link there is this line of code:
Code:
sudo mv limesurvey /var/www/html/limesurvey

Did you follow this? If so, Limesurvey is installed into the subfolder "limesurvey".

So to access Limesurvey it would be example.com/limesurvey/

Depending on how you unpacked it, it might be actually within another folder within this /limesurvey/ folder.

Look at your folder structure.

Or you made a mistake here:
Code:
<VirtualHost *:80>
     ServerAdmin admin@example.com
     DocumentRoot /var/www/html/limesurvey
     ServerName example.com
 
     <Directory /var/www/html/limesurvey/>
          Options FollowSymlinks
          AllowOverride All
          Require all granted
     </Directory>
 
     ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
     CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
 
</VirtualHost>

This is where the tutorial configures the Domain example.com to the folder "/var/www/html/limesurvey" on your server.

And I hope you don't actually use "example.com", but rather your domain, right? ;-) (you never know...)
Help us to help you!
  • Provide your LS version and where it is installed (own server, uni/employer, SaaS hosting, etc.).
  • Always provide a LSS file (not LSQ or LSG).

Just looked at example.com and YOU DID use Example.com!!!!!

Of course you can't use example.com, it is not your domain. This is just a placeholder for your own domain. You need to purchase a domain and redirect it to your server.

Thanks, you brought me on the right track.
I am running LimeSurvey locally, so the site was found at:
https://localhost/limesurvey/
