Getting 404 running install.php

[ericlogsdon]

We are currently running MantisBT 1.2.15 on a Windows IIS server with an MSSQLServer database. We are moving to an Azure Linux WebApp server using an AzureSQL database and upgrading to MantisBT 2.26.3.
I uploaded the MantisBT code, optional plugins, and config-inc.php to the new web server and the existing database to the AzureSQL server. I ran https://server.azurewebsites.net/mantis ... nstall.psp and on the verification page I got the error that config-inc.php was in the wrong place (oops). I copied the config-inc.php to the config folder and re-ran https://server.azurewebsites.net/mantis ... nstall.psp. I am now getting a 404 error.
Where can I look to find what I am missing. I scanned the config-inc.php file and didn't see anything obvious.

Thanks,
Eric

please first get the old situation running on the new platform.
Next follow the upgrade instructions for an upgrade.

I took a step back. I created an index.php that displayed "Hello, world" to make sure the basics were there. https://server.azurewebsites gave the desired results.
I then copied the code from my production server and went to https://server.azurewebsites.net and got the 404 file not found again.
I am not a PHP person, so I could use some pointers. Is there PHP logging I could enable? Azure Webapps uses Nginx, if that makes a difference.
Thanks for any tips or tutorials you can point me to.

The web server log is showing the 500 is on index.php
2024-09-10T18:54:32.7318930Z 127.0.0.1 - 10/Sep/2024:18:54:32 +0000 "GET /index.php" 500

It is in my Web Root. When I did the "hello world" app, the server could find it fine.

OK, an update on my issue.
I can't run MantisBT 1.2.15 on my server. PHP 8 has removed some functions that keep it from running.
So... I installed 2.26.3 in webserver/Mantis-2.26.3 and 1.2.15 in webserver. I copied the config-inc.psp to webserver/config (which I had to create because it doesn't exist in 1.2.15). I ran the webserver/Mantis-2.26.3/admin/install.php and the validation page says I need to copy my config-inc.psp to /config/config.inc.psp (it already is there and does not exist in webserver/

I am getting messages in the log saying that __autoload() is no longer supported (from core.php, line 138). This is from the V1.2 code, so I don't know if it is germane to my issue or a red herring.

I am not enough of a PHP person to dig through the code to see what is going on.

Hi Eric,
this way of upgrading is to fail.
Why not upgrade php on the old server and run the update? Then you can copy the installation across ( although I am not familiar with nthe DB you use and change @ the same time).
