Migration of a phpmyfaq wampserver installation to Ubuntu 22.04
Posted: Thu Aug 27, 2026 10:34 am
Hello there
I am trying to migrate a working wampserver phpmyfaq installation from windows, located to faq directory under wampserver (base url: http://localhost/faq), to an Ubuntu 22.04 server. I took the following steps
1. Copied the application to the /var/www/html/faq directory
2. Uploaded the database dump from windows to Ubuntu MySQL
3. Set up Apache (virtual host etc.)
4. Changed the main.referenceURL in the faqconfig table of the MySQL database in Ubuntu to http://server-ip-address/faq
Running the application from the local network the frontend is loaded properly, but when I attempt to login as administrator or access the top menu I get the message 'The required url was not found on this server' (i.e. error 404). The rewrite module on apache is enabled and the Document Root in apache virtual host is correctly set up. The phpmyfaq version is 4.1.4.
Please help
Thanks in advance
