    Default How to install Contao 4.4.6

    Hi all,

    I've uploaded the Contao 4.4.6 files to my server but don't know how to install it. I followed the manual instructions but there is no contao/install.php. There are 5 main folders (app, assets, var, vendor, web) The "contao" folder in assets doesn't include an installation file. I did find vendor/contao/installation-bundle but have no idea what to do with it.

    Help ! I'd love to try the new Contao 4.4.6 but don't know how to install and proceed. Would appreciate some guidance.

    Thanks,

    ally1

    There's no more a physical install script but a so-called route. That is, you have to open
    Code:
    http://example.com/contao/install
    to run the Contao install tool.

    Thanks xchs,

    I tried your instruction but when I enter this into my browser, I keep getting the following message:

    "Not Found

    The requested URL /contao/install was not found on this server.

    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."

    Did you do this: https://docs.contao.org/books/manual...-document-root ?

    You have to make sure that your domain points to the web/ subfolder, i.e. you have to set the DocumentRoot of the domain to this subfolder.

    Let's say that you have installed Contao 4.4.6 in contao446/, your domain must point to the contao446/web subfolder.

    I just tried pointing my domain name to the web/ folder and still got an "Insecure document root" message.

    I need to finish redesigning my website so I'm going back to 3.5.29 for the time being. I'll continue to work with 4.4.6 on a less urgent, practice site.

    Do you have any other suggestions ? By the way, I was using the domain redirect via my cpanel. Is this what you meant ?

    Thanks so much for your help.

    How looks the URL after you have done that? Did you open http://example.com/contao/install or http://example.com/web/contao/install ? The latter would be wrong!

    A Redirect seems not to be the right setting, imo. Isn't there somewhere an option to specify the DocumentRoot of the domain? For example, as shown here: http://www.inmotionhosting.com/suppo...-document-root

    ih the /public_html create blank .htaccess file and copy below code into (don't forget to change domain name with your)
    HTML Code:
    Options +FollowSymLinks
    RewriteEngine on
    
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?yourdomain.com$
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/web/
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /web/$1
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?youdomain.com$
    RewriteRule ^(/)?$ web/app.php

    @essecosi Hmm, I have my doubts about whether this really works correctly. The right way would be to set the DocumentRoot accordingly so that the domain points to the web/ subfolder. After all, it is a security measure to set the DocumentRoot to this subfolder.

    Hello!
    :-) yes you have right!
    Do you have any better solution. I need to move one web page to another server and this solution doesn't work?

    Can you set the DocumentRoot on the new server?
