Hi.
I am running a server and want to install Contao 4.4.18
The first problem I encountered when I wanted to use the manual: https://docs.contao.org/books/manual...ng-contao.html
It says I just have to add install.php add the end of the URL. Seems like the manual is wrong and it should be /contao/install.
Now the real problem arises when I have to set the DocumentRoot to the web-Directory of Contao.
I am running multiple projects on my Apache2.4 Webserver, for example a DokuWiki and other stuff.
So I have URLs like http://servername.com/DokuWiki or http://servername.com/SomethingElse
I want Contao to be accessible from http://servername.com/Contao
I therefore cannot set the DocumentRoot, or otherwise I can't host the DokuWiki etc...
My DocumentRoot is /var/www/html/ and I prefer for it to stay that way.
The only possible way I see is to use a Subdomain, which would allow for a VirtualHost in Apache configuration.
Right now the installer says the Document-Root is unsafe (translated from what it says in german) and that I should make the web-Directory the DocumentRoot. Also it says Contao 4 no longer uses .htaccess-Files for access protection.
Even if I use .htaccess-Files to protect the Contao Directory (that contains the web-Directory) it won't let me install (still the same page appears).
Why this unnecessary restriction? Is my understanding correct, that I must change my DocumentRoot in order for Contao to work (resulting in not being able to serve any of my other projects)?
