    @Hari Did you install composer as per this guide ?

    https://getcomposer.org/download/

    Essentially, it’s this

    php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
    php -r "if (hash_file('sha384', 'composer-setup.php') === '906a84df04cea2aa72f40b5f787e49f22d4c2f19492ac310e8cba5b96ac8b64115ac402c8cd292b8a03482574915d1a8') { echo 'Installer verified'; } else { echo 'Installer corrupt'; unlink('composer-setup.php'); } echo PHP_EOL;"
    php composer-setup.php
    php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"

    @Hari It’s not installed

    EDIT: Seems it is installed, but not correctly. You should be able to run this simply as composer. However, php composer.phar will work, but it’s clumsy to type…

    @phenomlab

    i followed these two guides

    php composer.phar

    https://getcomposer.org/download/
    https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md

    i think i installed it in multiple places root and public_html

    how can i fix it?

    @Hari Ok. Let me have a look at this for you.

    @Hari done. You should now be able to run composer directly as any user (preferably not root) inside the public_html directory.

    Essentially, it needs to be installed as php composer-setup.php --install-dir=/usr/bin --filename=composer

    @Hari Fixed. No need to move anything. It should just “work” 🙂

    @Hari you can go ahead and use sudo apt install redis-server redis-tools to get Redis up and running now. After that, (hopefully) Flarum should boot.

    @Hari That’s expected because you didn’t run sudo apt install redis-server redis-tools 🙂
    I’ve just done this, and the site now loads.

    If you’d executed it, then it wouldn’t have installed when I ran it

    This is also expected as you haven’t included the .nginx.conf file. Hold on a second.

    @Hari Your NGINX site config file, yes. Essentially, we just include the .nginx.conf file in there so it’s loaded when the site is. You need mod_rewrite for Flarum to work 🙂

    @Hari said in Virtualmin Setup DigitalOcean: i have felt it is very hard to manage Virtualmin the settings are confusing It’s a bit of a learning curve, admittedly, but very powerful and easy to use provided you understand the implications of what you are doing. For example, moving a VirtualMin server to subserver and then back again without changing underlying components that rely on the correct placement of the server, of course it will no longer work.
