As an experienced website operations expert, I know how crucial the first-time installation experience of a content management system is for users.AnQiCMS (AnQi CMS) benefits from the high performance brought by its Go language development and many enterprise-level features, winning the favor of many users.However, after the system is deployed and the browser is opened for the first time to access, many new users may wonder where the 'initial installation page' is located?This question feels a bit puzzled.Today, let's delve into the initial installation page path when first visiting AnQiCMS and provide some practical operation suggestions.

AnQiCMS first installation: exploring the correct access path to the initialization page

According to the official documentation and design philosophy of AnQiCMS, after you complete the deployment of AnQiCMS on the server and successfully run its core program, the first time you visit the website, the system will automatically redirect you to itsRoot pathTo start the initialization installation process.

Specifically, if you deploy AnQiCMS under a domain name, for examplewww.yourdomain.comThen you just need to enter it in the browser.http://www.yourdomain.com/The system will automatically recognize that it is in the first-time run state and will display the initial page of database configuration and administrator information settings. If you are testing in a local environment, for example, the program is running in the default8001Port and not configured with a reverse proxy, then you may need to access throughhttp://localhost:8001/.

This design is intuitive and logical: the new system requires some basic information to operate normally, and this information is designed to be collected through the website's entry (i.e., the root path) during the first boot.Once this information is submitted and successfully written to the database, the system will switch from the initialization mode to normal operation mode.

Path performance in the deployment scenario

After understanding the basic access method of initializing the page, we can further explain its path performance by combining several common deployment scenarios of AnQiCMS.

  1. Traditional manual deployment (such as Linux servers or local Windows/macOS environments)In this case, you would typically download the AnQiCMS binary file, unzip it, and run it. For example, in a Linux environment, you might configure reverse proxy through Nginx or Apache to direct external access traffic to the internal port that the AnQiCMS program is listening on (such as8001）。At this point, as long as the reverse proxy configuration is correct, you can directly access the domain name you have configured (such ashttp://yourdomain.com/）to reach the initialization page. If the reverse proxy is not configured, you can directly accesshttp://服务器IP:8001/It will also be displayed. This is the most typical scenario of 'initializing when visiting the root path for the first time.'

  2. Deployed through Docker containers (such as using the 1Panel management panel)Tools like 1Panel, when deploying AnQiCMS via Docker, if deploying a brand new, uninitialized AnQiCMS image, its behavior is similar to manual deployment.After you configure the domain name and reverse proxy in 1Panel, entering the domain name for the first time in the browser will also take you to the initialization installation page of AnQiCMS.It is also clearly stated in the document that after Docker installation is successful, you should 'enter the domain name you have just set in the browser…to initialize the website installation.'This is the manifestation of accessing the root path.

  3. Deployed through certain integrated environments or pre-configured Docker images (such as some Baota panel or aaPanel)It is worth noting that some integrated deployment solutions or specific AnQiCMS Docker images may have alreadycompleted the initialization in advance.This means that the image already includes the default database configuration and administrator account information.back-end login pageThe path is usuallyhttp://yourdomain.com/system/At this time, you need to log in with the preset default administrator account (such as: admin/123456) and then change these default credentials.

    Even in this pre-configured scenario, if a fresh deployment is required (such as deleting the database and starting over), AnQiCMS's underlying logic will still use the root path as the entry point for its initialization page.Therefore, understanding the "root path" is the standard location for initializing the page, which is crucial for troubleshooting and deep customization.

Practical suggestions from an operations expert

Understanding the path to the initial page is not just a technical detail, it is also the key to a smooth launch of the website in the early stages of operation. My suggestion is:

  • Be sure to record the installation information: The database information and administrator account password filled in during the initial installation are crucial, please be sure to record them carefully, as this is the 'lifeblood' of your website.
  • Check the reverse proxy configurationIf the initial page does not appear when you first access the root path, but instead shows a 404 error or server error, the first step should be to check if your Nginx/Apache reverse proxy configuration is correct, ensuring that it directs traffic to the port that the AnQiCMS program is listening on.
  • Understanding the differences in Docker images

In short, after AnQiCMS is deployed and runs for the first time, its initial installation page is usually located at the one you configuredThe root path of the website. Mastering this core knowledge will help you efficiently and smoothly embark on the operation journey of AnQiCMS.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why did I not see the initial page when I first visited, but was directly redirected to the background login?A1: This is usually because the AnQiCMS deployment solution (such as some Docker images or one-click installation packages) has already completed the system initialization when it was created.This means that the database and administrator account have been configured, and the system directly entered normal operation mode.admin/123456) Visithttp://yourdomain.com/system/Log in and change the default password immediately after logging in to ensure security.

Q2: If I access the root path after installation and get a 404 error or connection failure, what could be the reason?A2: This situation occurs,
