    @Hari It’s looking for a Redis install. Is this active ?

    @Hari Did you install composer as per this guide ?

    https://getcomposer.org/download/

    Essentially, it’s this

    php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
    php -r "if (hash_file('sha384', 'composer-setup.php') === '906a84df04cea2aa72f40b5f787e49f22d4c2f19492ac310e8cba5b96ac8b64115ac402c8cd292b8a03482574915d1a8') { echo 'Installer verified'; } else { echo 'Installer corrupt'; unlink('composer-setup.php'); } echo PHP_EOL;"
    php composer-setup.php
    php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"

    @Hari It’s not installed

    EDIT: Seems it is installed, but not correctly. You should be able to run this simply as composer. However, php composer.phar will work, but it’s clumsy to type…

    @phenomlab

    i followed these two guides

    php composer.phar

    https://getcomposer.org/download/
    https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md

    i think i installed it in multiple places root and public_html

    how can i fix it?

    @Hari Ok. Let me have a look at this for you.

    @Hari done. You should now be able to run composer directly as any user (preferably not root) inside the public_html directory.

    Essentially, it needs to be installed as php composer-setup.php --install-dir=/usr/bin --filename=composer

    @Hari Fixed. No need to move anything. It should just “work” 🙂

    @Hari you can go ahead and use sudo apt install redis-server redis-tools to get Redis up and running now. After that, (hopefully) Flarum should boot.

    @Hari That’s expected because you didn’t run sudo apt install redis-server redis-tools 🙂
    I’ve just done this, and the site now loads.

    @Hari said in Issues getting Flarum to work on new host:

    If you’d executed it, then it wouldn’t have installed when I ran it

    This is also expected as you haven’t included the .nginx.conf file. Hold on a second.

    @Hari I think you’re referring to this https://sudonix.com/topic/170/creating-posts-from-rss-feeds-in-flarum However, this code was never designed to work with WordPress, but you could leverage the WP-CLI to do something similar without too much effort.

    @Hari said in Virtualmin Setup DigitalOcean: i have felt it is very hard to manage Virtualmin the settings are confusing It’s a bit of a learning curve, admittedly, but very powerful and easy to use provided you understand the implications of what you are doing. For example, moving a VirtualMin server to subserver and then back again without changing underlying components that rely on the correct placement of the server, of course it will no longer work.

    @gotwf said in Email issue (virturalmin): @jac Typically you want your domain’s MX records to point to FQDN server name, e.g. foo.example.eg % drill stockportcounty.fans mx ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, rcode: NOERROR, id: 63911 ;; flags: qr rd ra ; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;; stockportcounty.fans. IN MX ;; ANSWER SECTION: stockportcounty.fans. 600 IN MX 10 stockportcounty.fans. Yours do not. Although a bit more drillin’ and reverse lookup indicates thusly; % drill stockportcounty.fans ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, rcode: NOERROR, id: 160 ;; flags: qr rd ra ; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;; stockportcounty.fans. IN A ;; ANSWER SECTION: stockportcounty.fans. 600 IN A 65.108.63.35 ;; AUTHORITY SECTION: ;; ADDITIONAL SECTION: ;; Query time: 127 msec ;; SERVER: 204.8.232.207 ;; WHEN: Sun Oct 10 19:37:02 2021 ;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 54 <kvg@loon:~>% drill -x 65.108.63.35 ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, rcode: NOERROR, id: 57802 ;; flags: qr rd ra ; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;; 35.63.108.65.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR ;; ANSWER SECTION: 35.63.108.65.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN PTR vps.stockportcounty.fans. I think you probably want your mx record to point to vps.stockportcountry.fans. It is important for forward and reverse lookups for MX records jive. Maybe you are looking like a spammer in that they do not? Edit: But at least you have a reverse record, many spammers do not, so that is a big red flag. Thanks for the advice, will look into it all later once back home.
