Merx starter kit installation difficulty

1

I’m trying to install the Merx shop starter kit on my remote server but without much luck. I keep getting a blank page when I go to create an account and can’t figure our why it’s happening.

I sure I have followed installation instructions correctly but must be doing something wrong. Could anyone help?

My server is running PHP 8.1 , I have set panel install to true in my config file, and I have tried setting RewriteBase to root in my htaccess file. Other Kirby sites are working on the same server.

Can you please explain the exact steps you did?

Make sure to turn debug on in your config. Do you see any errors?

Also check the browser console.

Thanks for replying.

  1. I uploaded Merx Starterkit 1.1.2 source code zip from merx-starterkit/releases/tag/v1.1.2 and extracted it.

  2. I set config.php to allow installation on a remote server.

At mydomain/panel I get a blank screen.

With RewriteBase in my htaccess file set to off I get a blank screen.

With RewriteBase in my htaccess file set to /foldername, I get a 500 Internal Server Error.

With debug set to true in config.php I get a blank screen.

My browser console is empty.

I can install the latest Kirby Startkit in the same directory without any blank screens.

Hm, looks like you didn’t install the kirby submodule as in the documentation? The kirby folder in the download is empty. Or did you and the frontend works?

I thought the Merx Startkit is a complete package but the kirby folder and merx plugin folder is empty. It’s working now. Thanks.

No, Kirby is a paid product, and our license terms do not allow bundling Kirby with another product.

So to run Merx, you need a Kirby license on top of the license fee for the Merx plugin.
