The panel cannot be installed

Kirby 3 Solved ✅

Should I contact my hosting support or this is a CMS only issue ?
Thanks :slight_smile:

Please post your config.php.

<?php

return [

// Theme Settings
'hepburn.about' => 'about',

'debug' => false,
'panel' =>[
  'install' => true
]

// Max width for large images
'hashandsalt.maxWidth' => 2000,

// Thumb Options
'thumbs' => [
  'driver' => 'im',
  'quality' => 80
],

// Cachebuster
'schnti.cachebuster.active' => false,

// Hooks
'hooks' => [
  // Scale Big Images Down
  'file.create:after' => function ($file) {
      if ($file->isResizable()) {
          if ($file->width() > option('hashandsalt.maxWidth')) {
              try {
                  kirby()->thumb($file->root(), $file->root(), [
                      'width' => option('hashandsalt.maxWidth')
                  ]);
              } catch (Exception $e) {
                  throw new Exception($e->getMessage());
              }
          }
      }
  }
  ]
];

Your syntax is messed up. All settings need to be within one return array:

<?php

return [
  // all settings here between the opening and closing brackets; 
  //dont forget semicolon after closing bracket
  

];
25

Ok I went through the syntax. I only had one “return” array but there was a missing comma obviously after install option closing bracket.
Thanks !

I have the same problem and the 'panel' => ['install' => true] solution doesn’t work for me :frowning:

How can I troubleshoot this mysterious installation problem?

In my case, everything was working just fine until recently! But now it’s failing after a routine code update and despite local tests working things no longer work in production :frowning:

No code changes happened here, but just to show what I have…

Here is my site/config/config.php:

<?php

$hooks = require_once(__DIR__ . '/hooks.php');
/*
  KIRBY SETTINGS
*/

return [
  'debug' => true,
  'languages' => true,
  'panel' => [
    'install' => true,
    'css' => 'build/global.css',
    'js' => 'https://cdn.tailwindcss.com'
  ],
  'markdown' => [
    'extra' => true
  ],
  'api' => [
    'basicAuth' => true,
    'allowInsecure' => true
  ],
  'thathoff' => [
    'git-content' => [
      'disable' => true
    ],
  ],
  'hooks' => $hooks,
  'siteUrl' => 'http://localhost:3000'
];

Here is my site/config/config.LIVE_DOMAIN.php:

<?php
/*
 * Overrides some default settings from config.php
 */
return [
  'debug' => false,
  'panel' => [
    'install' => true
  ],
  'api' => [
    'allowInsecure' => false
  ],
  'thathoff' => [
    'git-content' => [
      'disable' => false,
      'branch' => 'main',
      'pull' => true,
      'commit' => true,
      'push' => true,
      'displayErrors' => true
    ],
  ],
  'siteUrl' => 'CENSORED'
];

Here is .htaccess:

# Kirby .htaccess

Also, note that I’m still using Kirby 3.5.8 if that changes anything.
