404 Not Found

After downloading and unzipping the Akaunting_2.0.23-Stable.zip file in my local VM, I get the below ERROR when accessing the URL http://192.168.234.136/akaunting/
It automatically goes to http://192.168.234.136/akaunting/auth/login

404 Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server.

Apache/2.4.38 (Debian) Server at 192.168.234.136 Port 80

When I looked insight the zip file, no "auth/" exist. Can someone help me!?

It seems there is a problem with your VM routing.

I wish it was true. But, I tried on a second VM and still got the same result. On either VM I can access anything I may have under their corresponding local IP. I believe the zip file is missing a directory, a file, or the PHP script is pointing in the wrong direction. It's supposed to be an easy process for the most part... download the zip file, unzipped in a directory under the /www/html/ and then just access it throughout the browser by typing http://192.168.234.136/akaunting/. But once that is done it automatically goes to http://192.168.234.136/akaunting/auth/login and that is when I get the 404 error.

Just had this exact issue.
Was related to apache not having the modrewrite module installed/activated.

Check and see if the module is installed, if not, enable it

Oh! okay... Thank you for the tip Mitchell. I will check it out.

Mitchell, thanks a lot, that helped a bit. I come to find out that this software was not created with installation-friendly in mind. It requires a bunch of other modules that are not installed by default by the OS. And, the three that are installed (cURL, GD, ZIP) are not recognized by this app. In the end, I'm gonna go with my initial thought of creating my own piece of software because the installation of this app is taking to much time off me. Troubleshooting and searching all over the internet trying to make it work; two-plus days. Again, thank you.

Hello Obed.

The Homestead Installation is fearly enough for machine Configuration.
https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/homestead

You should suceed with that.

@Obed - I am pretty much nearly in the same boat. I have spent 2 days so far trying to get it up and running. Really a PITA :/
Will give it tomo morning to get it up, otherwise also will be bailing

Hi Leonardo, I wanted to say, thank you for the tip. I will check it out and see what they do.

It has nothing to do with Akaunting itself but Laravel requirements and your server failing to meet them. Here you can get it installed within 1 click:
