Installation failure handling

If an error occurs during installation, common causes and solutions:

Reset installation

If you need to reinitialize (clear all data):

# 1. 停止 AnQiCMS（Linux）
./stop.sh

# 2. 删除数据库（通过 MySQL 命令行或管理工具）
# 3. 删除 data/ 目录下的缓存文件（如有）
rm -rf data/*

# 4. 重新启动 AnQiCMS
./start.sh

# 5. 浏览器访问域名，重新进入安装界面

⚠️Warning: Resetting the installation will delete all data (documents, categories, users, settings, etc.), please back up the database before performing the operation.

❓ After filling in the information on the installation interface and clicking submit, it prompts 'Database connection failed', but my MySQL is indeed running, why?

There are 4 common causes for this problem, please check them one by one:

The simplest method: Manually create an empty database on the server using the root account, then enter the name of this existing database on the installation interface. The installation program will no longer attempt to create a database, thus bypassing the permission issue.

❓ After installation, the page keeps showing loading or a blank screen and cannot be accessed, what should I do?

This situation is usuallyBrowser cacheorNginx configurationissue.

# 第一步：检查程序是否正常运行
curl -I http://127.0.0.1:8001
# 如果返回 200/302，说明 AnQiCMS 正常

# 第二步：检查 Nginx 配置
# 确保 root 指向了 public 目录
# 确保 try_files 规则存在

# 第三步：清除浏览器缓存（一般按 Ctrl+F5 强制刷新）

# 第四步：检查浏览器控制台（F12 → Console）是否有 JS 报错

Also possibleWait a few seconds after installationLet the database write complete, refresh slightly.

❓ Did you fill in the website address incorrectly during installation (such as forgetting to add https://), can it be changed after installation?

It can be changed, no need to reinstall.You can modify it in the background after installation:

1. Login to the background →setting→Global Settings(/setting/system)
2. Find the "Website Address" field and change it to the correct address (such ashttps://en.anqicms.com)
3. Click Save
4. Background →Tool→Update Cache(/tool/cache)

Entering the wrong website address does not affect the operation of the website, but it may cause the generation of incorrect link addresses for Sitemap, friendship links, etc., so it is recommended to check and correct it immediately after installation.

❓ Is there a strength requirement for the administrator password during initial installation?

Recommended practiceUse a password manager (such as 1Password, Bitwarden) to generate random passwords and save them in the background. If you forget your password, you can use the "Forgot Password" function on the background login page to reset it through file verification or DNS verification.
