We are up to test Kirby CMS for a future project after many years of WP and set up a test server in Ubuntu. It’s standard installation in /var/www/…, according to the Ubuntu manuals, but Kirby is not running properly. Searching the forum I did not find any proper information how to resolve the issue. Probably it’s about permissions, but which ones?
What does that mean exactly? Please specify the exact errors you are running into and also your PHP environment. Does it meet the requirements as outlined in the docs: Quickstart | Kirby CMS?
Make sure that ownership and file permissions (644/755) are correct
It’s all standard out of the box for testing/evaluation purposes. However the sample site is incomplete with elements missing:
Access to the Panel is not available either and I wonder how the it’s supposed to be called, since there are no files or folders in the test site that would work with the URL mv.localhost/panel.
index.php is not a valid url. Kirby uses a router to route all pages through index.php. Url Rewriting must be enabled on the server for this to work properly. And make sure that the .htaccess file is copied to the server in case you are using Apache.
By default the panel is accessible under yourdomain/panel (provided that url rewriting works), there is no page for that, the Panel is an application.
