    This is a really useful guide, but it needs more detail in step 2. It seems installation takes place by accessing the installation directory – domain.com/home/ubuntu/helpdesk-project/public/index.php but that is not accessible via Apache.

    How exactly do you go about accessing this file via a browser?

      Hello Dan,

      Thanks for reaching us and showing your interest in our software.

      This is a really useful guide, but it needs more detail in step 2. It seems installation takes place by accessing the installation directory – domain.com/home/ubuntu/helpdesk-project/public/index.php but that is not accessible via Apache.

      How exactly do you go about accessing this file via a browser?

      Look at the below steps to install the UVdesk software using the Setup Wizard via browser:

      1. Start a web browser.

      2. Hit the following URL in the browser’s address or location bar(which u have configured in your web server)
      –> Domain name or IP/path to Helpdesk/public

      Note: To check the docroot you can create info.php.

      3. On the initial page, click Set Up UVdesk.

      4. Continue with the further steps in the order presented to complete the installation.

      Thanks & Regards

      UVdesk Team

        Sorry for the short note. Things didn’t go as expected from the vid. I did these things on a fresh 18.04 vm before the browser could find the index.php file. Hope this helps. Best Regards.

      Hi Mikaz, I would request you do re-install the project and while getting the error please open the dev toolbar then move to network => preview tab to show us the error so that we can find the exact cause behind the same, for any further concern raise a ticket at support@uvdesk.com for the better conversation and instant solution.

    I got this error.

    An exception occurred while executing ‘SELECT t0.id AS id_1, t0.code AS code_2, t0.description AS description_3 FROM uv_support_role t0 WHERE t0.code = ? LIMIT 1’ with params [“ROLE_SUPER_ADMIN”]:

      Hello Simon,
      Nice day to you!!
      The exception shows that the created database is not mapped with the project properly. Kindly check max execution time if it is 30 sec then increase it. Check here and try to configure the project again.
