Ive tried installing this thing 10 times today and keep getting 500 errors

What version of PHP are you using and are you using PHP or PHP-FPM? The first thing I would try is to change the line $configstyle = '1'; to $configstyle = '2'; in includes/includes.php (line 36) to see if that makes a difference. I don't think I made any bug fixes that relate to this issue, but you could try using the devinstall command to get the latest version with unreleased bug fixes: bash <(curl -s https://cdgco.github.io/devinstall)

Its a fresh vesta install with vesta-php (no FPM to my knowledge), I did try configstyle change on one install and it didnt seem to help anything guess ill try devinstall now

Are you using PHP 5, 7 or 8 / can you run the debug command bash <(curl -s https://cdgco.github.io/debug)?

and still 500s on devinstall

Alright, that's what I was worrying about. This error is related to PHP 8 which is not currently supported. I don't plan on adding new features to this project as I am shifting toward HestiaCP and don't have much time to work on things right now, so I will likely not be updating to PHP 8. If you want to get it working I would recommend rolling back to PHP 7 or installing MultiPHP for VestaCP (https://forum.vestacp.com/viewtopic.php?t=12737) so that you can put this domain on a specific PHP version.

Thats odd that 2 different vesta installs gave me 2 different PHP versions only 1 day apart.

[Stage4000]

I might just go with Hestia, the only reason ive stayed with Vesta so long is because theres just better documentation available for it than hestia.

[cdgco]

It must just be the latest version. Vesta hasn't released an update since January of last year. I wouldn't recommend using it anymore due to security holes and lack of updates which is why I am switching to HestiaCP which includes MutiPHP by default.

[cdgco]

Vesta does have much better documentation, but from what I've found, almost everything works the exact same in Hestia including API calls.

[Stage4000]

I also like the idea of working with ubuntu again, im much more familiar with it than centos, and if you have tried using vesta on ubuntu lately its not great.

[cdgco]

I haven't done a VestaCP install in a while but I typically use Debian as I run into issues with existing applications when trying to install VestaCP on Ubuntu.

[Stage4000]

I hope hestia is a little more friendly to ubuntu?

[cdgco]

I can't remember if I ran into any issues with the install, but I believe it was more friendy. I currently have 2 Ubuntu servers running HestiaCP.

Thanks, you can close this at your convenience. Any further tickets can be opened in the other repo.
