Cloudron Forum

I've gone through the installation process successfully, however, when it attempts to show the page content on https://my.domain.com, it briefly displays the screen but then forwards to a standard 404 error.

I had temporarily forwarded ports 80 and 443 to the host private IP, received the same response.

Pinged my.domain.com and verified that it is indeed forwarding to my public IP address via Cloudflare.

Can the default ports be assigned to non-standard ports?

Any help with diagnosing and correcting the 404 issue would be great, thanks in advance.

or do I have to remove everything and start over completely from scratch?

The easiest way is to setup a fresh new server, Install Cloudron and during initial setup, restore from a backup. Be sure to install the same Cloudron version your current server is on. I'm not sure if you also need the same OS version (Ubuntu 20.04 in your case) but I would advice to stick with it as you can upgrade later.

Would it still be an issue if those packages were completely removed from the server?

Not sure what is the best way to fix a half broken Cloudron installation. AFAIK Cloudron expects explicit apt package versions and installing other packages can easy mess with that. While in theory it is possible, I would avoid it and start with a clean OS as it will 100% work.

I added VNC as a means to access it without really giving it another thought

I think VNC to get basic terminal access should not be the problem. Installing a desktop enviroment however is far more complex in terms of related packages. If you install VNC before Cloudron, I think you should be fine as the setup script will pick the right packages anyway. EDIT: Okay so I digged into the topic and VNC seems to require a DE installed (even for a terminal session) at least if it runs on OS level.

I haven't found anything here in the forums about how others solve that if they don't have VNC from their hoster.

It absolutely does, which was why I had installed a minimal DE of XFCE4.

I think that I am going to have to start over and see if (now that I know that Cloudron requires an unaltered installation of Ubuntu Server) that lets me install the app that I wanted to deploy.

@girish It looks like it's choking on MySQL for some reason. I'll send you the log as soon as I am able to.
