After reviewing the apache conf. files I found an error (misspelling) - thanks anyway

Hi @Flemming-H

Glad to hear that the issue is now sorted. Where was the spelling mistake? I can't seem to notice it.

If your problem is resolved, can you please close the issue?

My search query led me here - the author of this issue seems to have solved it by correcting a typo, but in case someone else stumbles across a /login 404 on SLES/openSUSE, the rewrite module is not loaded by default, and since the example config ships with <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>, the whole redirection block to BookStack is silently being skipped.

# apachectl -t -D DUMP_MODULES|grep rewr 
< no output, module is not loaded >
# a2enmod rewrite
# rcapache2 restart
# apachectl -t -D DUMP_MODULES|grep rewr
 rewrite_module (shared)
