I set up Passbolt behind Nginx proxy, i configured domain with letsencrypt on proxy server and I am able  
to access Apache welcome page with **[http://mydomain/passbolt](http://mydomain/passbolt)**, but when i installed passbolt successfully and tried to access the link that i get at the end of installation, Apache returns **ERROR 404** from the title above:  
**" /setup/install/e7bbc5ac… was not found on this server."**

in passbolt.php file my url looks like this:

```
'App' => [
    // A base URL to use for absolute links.
    // The url where the passbolt instance will be reachable to your end users.
    // This information is need to render images in emails for example
    'fullBaseUrl' => 'http://my_domain/passbolt'

```

Anyone has an idea?

Thanks

If you are running passbolt in a directory you should not add the directory in the fullBaseUrl, it will be detected automatically.

@remy Ok, i changed that in the meantime, but now when i enter username and password, it gets stuck on  
"Loading, please wait… “, when i go rightclick + inspect, i get : Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)” and the critical js file is **steal.production.js**

Hi @Miodragl,

I’m not sure what’s wrong with your setup, but I just tested running the v2.0.3 in a subdirectory with apache rewriting enabled at the top level and it worked (with fullBaseUrl set to www.passbolt.test). See apache config bellow:

Apache config:

```auto
<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
        <VirtualHost _default_:443>
                ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
                ServerName www.passbolt.test
                DocumentRoot /var/www

                ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
                CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

                SSLEngine on
                SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/passbolt.crt
                SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/passbolt.key

                <FilesMatch "\.(cgi|shtml|phtml|php)$">
                                SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
                </FilesMatch>
                <Directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin>
                                SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
                </Directory>

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

        </VirtualHost>
</IfModule>

Most likely it works without SSL, as long as URL rewriting is enabled. See. [https://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/installation.html](https://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/installation.html) for more information.

\<VirtualHost \*:80\>  
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost  
ServerName passbolt

```
DocumentRoot /var/www/passbolt

ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

<Directory /var/www/passbolt>
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All

I’m not sure how it work with /var/www/passbolt as DocumentRoot, you notice mine point to /var/www like you would get with hosting provider like GoDaddy or what not. You probably need to play around the config and the rewrite rules.

Hi @remy, i am new to passbolt and i just followed as per the documentation in this link [https://help.passbolt.com/hosting/install/ce/centos-7.html](https://help.passbolt.com/hosting/install/ce/centos-7.html)

when i perform `./bin/cake passbolt healthcheck` it shows me below 5 errors,

[FAIL] Could not reach the /healthcheck/status with the url specified in App.fullBaseUrl  
[FAIL] SSL peer certificate does not validate  
[FAIL] Hostname does not match when validating certificates.  
[FAIL] Passbot is not configured to force SSL use.  
[FAIL] App.fullBaseUrl is not set to HTTPS.

I am not sure how to solve these errors as i havent configured https. Also i am using nginx and am getting the 404 error when i try to register the passbolt.

Do i need to write any rewrite rule if i use apache or nginx? i dont find any information about this in the documentation too… Please guide me
