I decided to give OxWall a shot this morning. I tend to setup my own Ubuntu/Nginx/MariaDB/php-fpm servers not control panel driven setups from the McDonalds style hosting companies so I elected to do a manual install. I followed the instructions here to the letter. Much to my surprise things broke down at the very first hurdle. Navigating to http://example.com/oxwall/install came back with a 404 error. Examining the folder I find that there is no install.php script there so I tried to browse to http://example.com/oxwall/index.php which sends me to http://example.com/oxwall/index.php/install which in turn comes back with a 404 error. I thought I would try browsing directly to http:/example.com/oxwall/ow_install/init.php and install.php but those scripts simply crash with a 500 error.
I scarcely need say that I feel disappointed. I am impressed by OxWall. I examined the code base and felt comfortable about working with it to adapting it to my own needs. I also thought that the documentation was good. This experience though leaves me asking questions.
I hope that I have simply got something wrong here or that the instructions above are somehow out of date. If anyone here can help put me on the right track I would much appreciate it.
