Looks Like an upstream issue 🤔

Can you Take a Look Here and Test it?

Ran into the same issue today with a fresh install. Clicking next in step 1 of the installer only reloads the page.
Tried changing APP_INSTALLED to true, like described in the pelican issue, which results in error 500. With a fresh install, we should use the installer, before APP_INSTALLED gets flipped to true, i think.

Logs show database does not exist, maybe because the installer did not run yet?

I was not able to debug the error with the installer. But i´ve touched the database file, ran a manual migration with php artisan migrate, created a new user und set APP_INSTALLED to true afterwards. Now the panel runs just fine. Seems like a bug in the installer

Hi, despite this being marked as completed, I still am having this issue. I removed and re-installed the container using the script. I went to the installer page, and it is still reloading. Is anyone else still having this problem?
