**Checklist** [x] I have read intro post: [https://community.passbolt.com/t/about-the-installation-issues-category/12](https://community.passbolt.com/t/about-the-installation-issues-category/12) [x] I have read the tutorials, help and searched for similar issues [x] I provide relevant information about my server (component names and versions, etc.) [x] I provide a copy of my logs and healthcheck [x] I describe the steps I have taken to trouble shoot the problem [x] I describe the steps on how to reproduce the issue New VM on GCP. New IP address. New domain. Followed the install instructions on [https://help.passbolt.com/hosting/install/ce/debian/debian.html](https://help.passbolt.com/hosting/install/ce/debian/debian.html) Auto install Let’s Encrypt certs. No errors at any stage - other than wget not being already installed on Debian 11. But when Im finished and then browse to the domain or the IP address of the server, I just get the “Welcome to Nginx” screen. No config options for Passbolt. If I run sudo -H -u www-data bash -c “/usr/share/php/passbolt/bin/cake passbolt healthcheck” then I get this message. ```auto ______ ____ / __\____ _________ / /_ ____ / / /_ ``` / /_/ / \_\_ `/ / / \_\_ / \_\_ / / \_/ / **/ // (** | ) // / // / / / // ,/ **/** \*\*/. \*\*/_\*\* _/_/\_\_/ ## Open source password manager for teams Healthcheck shell…Warning Error: file\_get\_contents(/etc/passbolt/gpg/serverkey.asc): failed to open stream: No such file or directory In [/usr/share/php/passbolt/src/Utility/Healthchecks/GpgHealthchecks.php, line 456] 2023-05-08 16:04:07 warning: Warning (2): file\_get\_contents(/etc/passbolt/gpg/serverkey.asc): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [/usr/share/php/passbolt/src/Utility/Healthchecks/GpgHealthchecks.php, line 456] Warning Error: file\_get\_contents(/etc/passbolt/gpg/serverkey\_private.asc): failed to open stream: No such file or directory In [/usr/share/php/passbolt/src/Utility/Healthchecks/GpgHealthchecks.php, line 458] 2023-05-08 16:04:07 warning: Warning (2): file\_get\_contents(/etc/passbolt/gpg/serverkey\_private.asc): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [/usr/share/php/passbolt/src/Utility/Healthchecks/GpgHealthchecks.php, line 458] .Exception: strpos() expects parameter 1 to be string, bool given In [/usr/share/php/passbolt/src/Utility/Healthchecks.php, line 92] ---

There’s also nothing in /etc/passbolt/passbolt.php And nothing in the /etc/nginx/conf.d directory ---

Install works perfectly on CentOS. Not on Debian11. ---

It could be that the file /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default or /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default.conf is taking over the passbolt nginx config. In that case you should remove the default nginx configuration and restart nginx. ---

I’ve installed it on CentOS instead. Worked perfectly. On Debian, I followed the instructions to the letter. Just wanted to report the issue. ---

I ran into the exact same issue on GCP on new Debian 12 (Bookworm) instance, I was able to resolve with these steps after successfully installing and getting Nginx Welcome screen. 1. in SSH interface I ran everything as root by starting with cmd `sudo su` 2. To stop using nginx default config `mv /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default /etc/nginx/default.bck` 3. in the file `/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/nginx-passbolt.conf ` modfied first instance of the line `server_name _;` to `server_name mysub.mydomain.com;` 4. ran `dpkg-reconfigure passbolt-ce-server` and enter all the same settings as first install (I used auto ssl) 5. Configuration got a confirmation > Successfully deployed certificate for [mysub.mydomain.com](http://mysub.mydomain.com) to **/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/nginx-passbolt.conf** 1. Restart Nginx with `systemctl reload nginx` 2. Visit [https://mysub.mydomain.com](https://mysub.mydomain.com) and complete installation using the previously used config accounts, variables and passwords
