Hello,

The Laravel installation is quite different and difficult than CodeIgniter v3. If you set the root path correct then it will be easier by accessing install and following the steps.

The good thing is laravel has better error reporting tools. You can check the latest log file in `storage/logs/` folder for errors.

Let me know the error details so that I can suggest solution.

Thank you

Hello,

Please update you php version to 7.4 as the latest update require php7.4

Thank you

Hello,

Now the error is due to app key,

Please check your .env file and If update the APP_KEY is missing or empty. You can run `php artisan key:generate` or manually add key as following

```
APP_KEY=base64:VuMQy24XBoefyf/Fku8vqZYFcl+QL/h4MQpnAWXoSgw=
```

Thank you

Hello,

Not working.
And the key is there. attached.

I have 2-3 laravel app/site running on this server in parallel with couple of codeingniter sites including one of yours.
There's something wrong with the installer.
This is not supposed to happen on a weekly maintained plesk/debian server up to date.

Thank you

Hello,

Please let me know the installation link and server details. I will try to check.

Hello,

Th perg_match error might be related to unescaped -

Can you please edit the `installer/Requests/UserRequest.php`

and replace the line 25 - 30 with

```
'name' => [
'required', 'string', 'max:50', 'regex:/^[\w\-_.\&\s]*$/',
],
'username' => [
'required', 'max:25', 'unique:users', 'regex:/^[\w\-_.]*$/',
],
```

This should resolve the preg_match issue.

Thank you
