@ssddanbrown Thanks for providing troubleshooting blog. In our case we running bookstack on Amazon Linux 2 and our webserver user is Nginx. Can you please let us know the path to change the permissions.

I have a page regarding the setting file permission here:
https://www.bookstackapp.com/docs/admin/filesystem-permissions/

You will need to adapt any example commands to suit your system/setup as they likely won't be correct by default.

@sachinvishwakarma26 View your webserver (nginx) error log, as touched on within the debugging page I linked above. That should show exactly what the issue is and what file (if it is a permission error) has permission issues.

@ssddanbrown

We have tried changing permissions but still we are getting same problem.

Note: We have created one more server for bookstack its working fine without any issues.

Could you please help us to fix this issue.

@sachinvishwakarma26 That looks like you have not configured database details in the .env file. The information shown indicates you may not have even copied the .env.example to .env as per step 3 of the manual installation steps. Please do that then fill the .env file with the correct details for your system.

@ssddanbrown,

Thanks for your valuable help it worked. Now we need to redirect our bookstack endpoint to Azure DNS. Please advise here

What exactly do you mean by that?
What are you looking to functionally achieve?

Since there's been no follow-up I'm going to close this. If the issue remains and is something you still require to be fixed respond to my previous comment and this can then be re-opened.

@ssddanbrown,

@sachinvishwakarma26 We don't specifically assure for support, or test for any platforms outside of our Ubuntu scripts. Should be fine though as long as you meet the requirements.

That said, I produced a guide earlier this year for a support customer, so here's a version of that:

2024-07-RHEL9-install.pdf
