@Friendica Support
As for my knowledge this intended newbee speaks fluently german, englisch and spanisch, tho maybe du/you/tu is a little bit to shy to ask for help .. not sure.
What is your setup and what have you tried till now @Mina to install your #friendica server, maybe we can figure out what's your problem with the installation.
🤔
That's sweet of you!
I followed the instructions on
friendi.ca/resources/installat…
word for word, i.e.
1. uploaded the directories (including addons)
2. renamed the .htaccess-dist to .htaccess (it's an Apache server)
3. Created a database and had the details at hand.
4. Went to friendica.penkagram.me in order to start the installer.
and what happened was:
The installer didn't start, but went redirecting me into
[url]/index.php/install/install/install/…
1/?
until finally the browser told me "redirection error".
I then tested with some arbitrary PHP file if PHP worked. It did (in the root directory and the friendica subdirectory).
Then I tried stuff that was recommended in the forum (where I also found people told to become developers if they had problems), like entering database details into config files, some changes in .htaccess, but, alas, to no avail.
2/?
@Mina
Not sure what is the actual state of the art of the installer is. Last I "heard" and experienced is that it was broken and that the best way to install is thru the console commands detailed in the helpers page:
/help/Install#Option+B%3A+Run+the+automatic+install+script
tupambae.org/help/Install#Opti…
And yes, it's recommendable to use the git install form, that way you will be able to easily update the installation.
Hey @Mina, any news on your intents?
No feedback?
Actually I didn't followed the @Friendica Support or friendica news channel latelly, so no idea if there were any updates. What I wondered "the other day" is that we could ask @Tobias wich friendica version was the last that had the install working fine and simply install that version, via gitpull. Once installed you can than just start the updates. If you do that before even creating any contacts or content, that should go quite smoothly. We recently did updates from 2023.05 on this server and the referenced installation guide was from that (stable) version in it's time and worked well so I assume that installing via gitpull but adressing that version, or the one Tobias indicates should work out easily.
I will try again, once my head is clear again.
Anyway: I'm pretty sure, the problems I had during the installation were not caused by Friendica itself (I mean: there are a lot of people, who successful completed an installation), but by some configuration with my hosting solution (on Ionos.de).
Just useful error messages during the installation process would be great.
@Mina
Actually you even might consider to setup your subdomain at first at weingaertner-it.de/, if they still do friendica hosting, I get a 503 right now over here. Apparently a single user instance costs 5 euro a month. If you like it you could than move the already existing DB to your own setup. Somehow that's how this instance came to live, but with another provider.

Germany arrests self-declared 'king' and bans his extremist group
Peter Fitzek, 59, was among those arrested in morning raids across seven states on Tuesday, which involved about 800 security personnel.The government banned their group, the Reichsbürger, or "citizens of the Reich", which seeks to establish the Königreich Deutschland, or "Kingdom of Germany".
Alexander Dobrindt, German's interior minister, accused the group of attempting to "undermine the rule of law" by creating an alternative state and spreading "antisemitic conspiracy narratives to back up their supposed claim to authority".
His ministry announced the dissolution of the group, and accused it of financing itself through "economic criminal structures".

A few takeaways from my research:
1 - Not one staffer said they’d turn to scientists first when facing a science-related question.
2 - Party leadership, lobbyists, and trusted friends-of-friends often have more influence than peer-reviewed studies.
3 - Scientists are unintentionally sidelining themselves by only engaging with one side of the aisle.
