404 error for localhost/processwire after install, localhost displays content as expected.

404 error for localhost/processwire after install, localhost displays content as expected.

http://localhost/processwire/ --> 404

I don't see a directory or php file named processwire in either var/www/html or ./site.

This happens whether or not I follow the "cleanup" steps shown in the last step of the installation.

In case it helps, here is the ls -l output from /var/www/html:

Hi @Glen Ulmer This might help. Also, were there any warnings (non green notices) during the install process? Sounds like mod_rewrite might not be turned on (or configured correctly) on you server.

Thanks for the note. It seems not to be reading the .htaccess file, everything was green at install. I will look at *AllowOverride* in the Apache config.

A related question - and a suggestion - do you maintain a LAMP + PW autoinstall package for Ubuntu LTS versions or would the PW team consider it? I think it would be a good marketing move to be able to spin up a PW server on Digital Ocean, Linode, etc.

I'm not aware of an official one, no, but there have been several packagings of PW for stacks. Here's one from bitnami for example. There are also various vagrant and docker offerings.
