I completed installation of atom 2.6 but encountered a number of problems along the way, which I would like to share, as some may find it useful.
I am installing with all the necessary physical requirements for the system and on ubuntu 18.
I followed the installation instructions to the letter. Nonetheless I encountered the following issues:
1. I had to remove the default Php pool in order for the web installer to even come on screen. I tried restarting all services including php before that, but removing the pool seemed to be the only thing which did it.
2. I stalled at when going onto the second config page (insertsql), getting a 502 bad gateway. I got round it by skipping directly to the next page as suggested in earlier threads.
I'm gonna try installing now on a second system and see if I get the same problems. Will update here.
The system I was using had very little to conflict. I was just using sambashare.
