I am migrating to a new server with better capacity and want to install my mailwizz from scratch. In past, I installed only 1.4.3 which went usually fine. This time, I am trying to install the latest 1.6.5.

However, I am unable to proceed to the installation page ie http://mw.mydomain.com/install/index.php. I keep getting 404 Not Found. Here's the screenshot: https://i.gyazo.com/e0793059dd085aa81ff1f0f5d167abf3.png Meanwhile the homepage, http://mw.mydomain.com/, keeps resolving to the Apache2 default page.

I have followed all the steps I took with the previous installation which was successful. The only differences were a new server, OS Ubu 18 (used 16 in past) and the new mailwizz version. The rest was all same. Here's a list of the current contents of the /var/www/mw.mydomain.com/ directory:

Code:

I also enabled debugger following the instructions at https://kb.mailwizz.com/articles/enable-installer-debugging/ and https://kb.mailwizz.com/articles/enable-debugging/ But the installation page keeps stubbornly resolving to the same 404 Not Found error with no clue as for what is exactly the problem.

If it's any help below are the logs of the commands I used to set up maiwizz on my server:

Please, help me resolve this.
 
Quick update.

I tried replicating the issue on a different VPS at hand. I used exact same commands but this time it worked fine and I had install/index.php resolve to an installation page without any issues.

Here are the specifications of the server I used in the first post where the issue occurred:
OS: Ubuntu 18.04
Intel Xeon E3-1270v6
4c/8t - 3.8GHz /4.2GHz
32GB DDR4 ECC 2400 MHz
SoftRaid 2x2TB SATA
500 Mbps bandwidth
vRack: 100 Mbps​

And, here are the specifications of the 2nd server where I failed to replicate the issue:
OS: Ubuntu 18.04
4 vCore(s)
3.1 GHz
8 GB RAM
100 GB​

The 1st server has a lot more capacity and was acquired for our scale-up. Both servers are located in the same region but different data centers.

I am not sure why the installation page resolved on the 2nd but failed on the 1st. I tried re-doing the first server setup multiple times but the issue keeps persisting.
 
Seems like I've finally managed to resolve the issue. On the 1st server, I needed to run

Code: 
sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf
service apache2 reload
