Help for first steps with Kirby and Uberspace

The CMS Questions
1

Hello everyone.

I am a complete beginner and would appreciate some help with my first steps.

After trying to read in step by step, the following points have been made so far:

Created different domains and simlinks according to instructions (under the following scheme):

uberspace web domain add www.mydomain.com
uberspace web domain add mydomain.com

cd /var/www/virtual/projekt1

mkdir project1
ln -s project1 www.mydomain.com
ln -s project1 mydomain.com

starterkit-main.zip and uploaded via SFTP.

In config.php, enter the installation of the panel (hopefully) correctly, as follows:

return [
‘debug’ => false,
‘panel’ =>[
‘install’ => true
]
];

The result looks like this, unfortunately the images are not displayed. Likewise, no links are clickable.

The error message is always the same:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

If I understand it correctly, I have to make appropriate entries in the .htaccess. At this point, however, I am hopelessly overwhelmed as to what I have to enter where and where to “activate” the appropriate line by removing # (I hope activated is the right word :slight_smile: )

I currently have the standard .htaccess again (after having tried and rejected several things).

Thanks for your time and effort

Hi and welcome to Kirby and the forum,

no sure I fully understand your problem.

Your doc root should be

/var/www/virtual/username/html

There, you can put your files, either directly into this folder, or into a subfolder within this html folder. You structure seems to be different somehow

So for anyone coming here with the same issue with multiple projects in subfolders on Uberspace, you have to set the RewriteBase in the Kirby provided .htaccess to

RewriteBase /

(i.e. remove the preceding # that comments that line)

This is not needed when the project lives in the main docroot (html folder).

It should be mentioned that Uberspace does not recommend such a setup with multiple sites in the same account for security reasons.

Thank you very much for your support, your time and your efforts on a Sunday. (and also for your patience)
