Hi having issues installing the latest version of October, I'm using composer create-project to install, changing the database details and running artisan october:up and all seems to go fine, when I navigate to the site I see the shiny demo theme. The problem I'm having however is that when I try and navigate to /backend I get page not found. http://dev5.ccwuk.co.uk/backend

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check your /app/config/cms.php file for these lines:

  /*
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Back-end URI prefix
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

   Specifies the URI prefix used for accessing back-end pages.

*/

'backendUri' => '/admin',

My backend in this case is at "MainSiteFolder/admin"

Hey thanks for the reply, it was set to 'backend'. I have changed it to '\admin' and '\backend' but same deal

sorry meant '/admin' and '/backend'

I've Never installed from composer. Have you tried download, unzip method? After unzip you can navigate to the install.php file and it will walk you through install. https://github.com/octobercms/install/archive/master.zip

Also make sure permissions are set to 755.

sudo chmod -R 755 /octberFolder

You may need to alter your RewriteBase in your .htaccess from / to MainSiteFolder/

Hey thanks for the tips, no idea what was causing the issue managed to do a fresh install using the install-master method and all seems to work ... well aside from plugin errors but that's another issue

Don't know if this will help anyone but had to change the root directory to :nobody (equivalent of www-data) and then things went fine.

I had the same problem on an existing installation of mine when I upgraded to the Laravel 5 based version (188 I believe), and it was due to some problem with the BackendController class. I was given a new version from daftspunk which fixed it. I'm not sure if that's already been incorporated into one of the two newer updates I see available now, but here is where I got the updated class from: BackendControllerClass
