Fixes

INFO

You may have to change the PHP version in the file names based on your setup. At the time of writing, I was using PHP 8.1.

The PHP memory limit is below the recommended value of 512MB

nano /etc/php/8.1/apache2/php.ini Find: memory_limit = 128M Replace with: memory_limit = 512M

Fix "PHP configuration option output_buffering must be disabled"

nano /etc/php/8.1/apache2/php.ini Find: output_buffering = 4096 Replace with: output_buffering = Off

❗️ Fix “PHP configuration option output_buffering must be disabled”

nano /etc/php/8.1/apache2/php.ini

Find: output_buffering = 4096

Replace with: output_buffering = Off

❗️ Fix “Your data directory and files are probably accessible from the internet. The .htaccess file is not working. It is strongly recommended that you configure your web server so that the data directory is no longer accessible, or move the data directory outside the web server document root.”

nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

Find:

<Directory /var/www/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        Require all granted
</Directory>

Replace:

<Directory /var/www/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
</Directory>

systemctl restart apache2
