Installation fails even though key has been set

[nickbe]

The installer runs until the end. But then all I get is: Something went wrong.
Debug output is:

ErrorException (E_ERROR)
Undefined variable: dbMessage (View: /var/www/freescout.xxxxxxxxxxxxx/html/resources/views/vendor/installer/finished.blade.php)

Issue has been fixed. Please remove all files from /var/www/freescout.xxxxxxxxxxxxx/html/, download updated application https://github.com/freescout-helpdesk/freescout and run installation process again.

Will try this evening :) Thanks

Ok, the installer worked now :) Thanks for that.
But the css is not loaded at all:

Are you using nginx or apache?
Can you check error message for css file in browser console?

[freescout-helpdesk]

Also make sure that web server user is able to write (at least 755 permissions) to the following folders:

• /public/css/builds
• /public/js/builds

I just found out that this has to do something with the .htaccess cache settings in exaxtly those two folders. It seems that on the first run the two .css and .js files a generated, but then they won't get loaded. As soon as I simply comment out the settings in the .htaccess files it works immediately.

[freescout-helpdesk]

Which lines in https://github.com/freescout-helpdesk/freescout/blob/dist/public/.htaccess are you commenting?

[nickbe]

The only line in /public/css/builds and /public/js/builds where the cache settings are done

[freescout-helpdesk]

This one https://github.com/freescout-helpdesk/freescout/blob/dist/public/css/builds/.htaccess
It is strange. This is standard Laravel configuration used in all Laravel projects.
Probably there is some server misconfiguration or browser issue.

I tested this on multiple browsers and on two different server installations (one virtual). Same problem on both servers.

[freescout-helpdesk]

What error do you see in browser console for CSS and JS in /public/css/builds and /public/js/builds? Is it 404 error?

Do you have files requested on page in builds folders?

Are you using CloudFlare or similar systems?

[nickbe]

When I enter the path to the css/js files manually then all I get is a server misconfiguration error, which disappears immediately after comment out the cache option from the .htaccess file.
Servers are root servers under Debian

Thank you. Replace content of the .htaccess files with (we will add it to the next release):

<FilesMatch "\.(css|js)$">
    <IfModule mod_headers.c>
    	Header set Cache-Control "max-age=172800, public, must-revalidate"
    </IfModule>
</FilesMatch>

[nickbe]

Ok. Now it seems to work. Thanks.
