First install the test environment in aaPanel Nginx 1.17 Mariadb 10.0 PHP 71 Create a website and enter your domain name Choose to create a database Install composer If you have multiple php,Check if your php cli is 71 php -v If not, please go to the panel switch Start installing composer Go to your site root directory cd /www/wwwroot/test/ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php Check if composer works php composer.phar Set up the php environment Remove these php functions that are disabled by default by the panel putenv pcntl_signal proc_open Install the file_info extension Install FLARUM composer create-project flarum/flarum . --stability=beta If the process is killed during the installation process Please add Swap in Linux Tools If you see this prompt after the installation is complete, don't panic, This is just a warning message for developers and means that Laravel / Flarum should take the time to update the Carbon dependency. It shouldn't cause any problems for you. https://discuss.flarum.org/d/20607-upgrade-carbon-beta-9 Carbon 1 is deprecated, see how to migrate to Carbon 2. https://carbon.nesbot.com/docs/#api-carbon-2 You can run './vendor/bin/upgrade-carbon' to get help in updating carbon and other frameworks and libraries that depend on it. if(window.hljsLoader && !document.currentScript.parentNode.hasAttribute('data-s9e-livepreview-onupdate')) { window.hljsLoader.highlightBlocks(document.currentScript.parentNode); } Now you can access your FLARUM domain name. If permissions denied, Go to the site settings settings directory owner for www Change your running directory to public We also need to add this code to url-rewrite # Pass requests that don't refer directly to files in the filesystem to index.php location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string; } # The following directives are based on best practices from H5BP Nginx Server Configs # https://github.com/h5bp/server-configs-nginx # Expire rules for static content location ~* \.(?:manifest|appcache|html?|xml|json)$ { add_header Cache-Control "max-age=0"; } location ~* \.(?:rss|atom)$ { add_header Cache-Control "max-age=3600"; } location ~* \.(?:jpg|jpeg|gif|png|ico|cur|gz|svg|mp4|ogg|ogv|webm|htc)$ { add_header Cache-Control "max-age=2592000"; access_log off; } location ~* \.(?:css|js)$ { add_header Cache-Control "max-age=31536000"; access_log off; } location ~* \.(?:ttf|ttc|otf|eot|woff|woff2)$ { add_header Cache-Control "max-age=2592000"; access_log off; } # Gzip compression gzip on; gzip_comp_level 5; gzip_min_length 256; gzip_proxied any; gzip_vary on; gzip_types application/atom+xml application/javascript application/json application/ld+json application/manifest+json application/rss+xml application/vnd.geo+json application/vnd.ms-fontobject application/x-font-ttf application/x-web-app-manifest+json application/xhtml+xml application/xml font/opentype image/bmp image/svg+xml image/x-icon text/cache-manifest text/css text/plain text/vcard text/vnd.rim.location.xloc text/vtt text/x-component text/x-cross-domain-policy; if(window.hljsLoader && !document.currentScript.parentNode.hasAttribute('data-s9e-livepreview-onupdate')) { window.hljsLoader.highlightBlocks(document.currentScript.parentNode); } You can now go to the FLARUM installation page. Finally turn on firewall protection to our forum Thanks for reading

aaPanel_Jose Thank you so much for this tutorial! 🙂

Followed this tutorial, but flarum doesn't work. It gives resource not found error. Do we need to make any changes in nginx config files? Please guide in more detail.

szone I have modified the tutorial and posted url-rewrite on it.

aaPanel_Jose If we install composer in the site directory, it doesn't allow to run flarum install command, saying the directory isn't empty. So we have to install composer in any other directory php composer-setup.php --install-dir=/www/composer and run flarum installation with following command, while you are at /www/wwwroot/flarum/ [assuming you want to install flarum in flarum directory] sudo php /www/composer/composer.phar create-project flarum/flarum . --stability=beta Also we would need to update permissions sudo chown -R www:www /www/wwwroot/flarum Later we need to include /www/wwwroot/flarum/.nginx.conf file from flarum directory into nginx config. include /www/wwwroot/flarum/.nginx.conf We will also need to update root directory paths for flarum. For instance location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string; } This does not work unless you update it to: location /www/wwwroot/flarum { try_files $uri $uri/ /www/wwwroot/flarum/index.php?$query_string; } And we need to change paths in index.php file which is located in public folder. We will need to move all files from public folder to flarum or root directory, and then run it. Otherwise installation doesn't proceed fine. It is little complicated to setup flarum with nginx, however with apache we don't have to do much work arounds.

I have installed successfully flarum/flarum (v1.0.0): on aaPanel 6.8.19 | PHP 73 | Apache 2.4. For me Apache is more easy and straightforward compare to NGINX. Same steps I followed from above: Create a New web site with PHP73 .... Get SSL certificate for your web site Download the composer installer file (I use /opt/composer) cd /opt/composer curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php php composer.phar create project for Flarum on different directory then move to your web site directory cd /opt/composer/flarum sudo php /opt/composer/composer.phar create-project flarum/flarum . --stability=beta mv /opt/composer/flarum/* /www/wwwroot/forum.test.com or user GUI: aaPanel Files manager to move files change permission sudo chown -R www:www /www/wwwroot/forum.test.com or user GUI: aaPanel Files manager to change permission Change running directory to public from Site directory on your web site. Done! and browse: https: // forum. test. com

I was struggling with this for a while.

If you're following the OP guide, you must also:

In your aaPanel, uncheck: Website > example.com > site directory > "Anti-XSS attack (Base directory limit(open_basedir)
Set permissions to aaPanel user by running this command in your server terminal: sudo chown -R www:www /your/path/to/flarum

Other than that, tutorial worked for me.
