I'm intrigued if you'd get the same error as I get in the previous post. Pretty sure I followed every other step correctly.

I have yet to update the tutorial, but i have put together a repository that contains all the files you need, also converted to .nitro so it's ready for anyone to simply "plug & play". The files will contain an updated catalog, updated clothing, and assets that'll work with the dev branch of nitro.

It doesn't have, it's only alphabet and number. Example of my pw : February2022
I think I'll just redo once again and hopefully it works

This part should now be updated to reflect the most recent changes. I sadly haven't been able to test it myself - So everything is written of the top of my head. If you encounter any issues within this step, simply comment it and I'll make sure to have a look

There were issues when I first installed the CMS. I managed to get everything working, except that the registration page would show error 500 after trying to register an account. So I deleted everything and re-installed. The next time round, I did not get the website_installation table in the database. I'm also getting error 403, and unable to get to localhost. Any help on this?

Upon trying to continue to the /installation page, I'm getting SQLSTATE errors, all coming from the database migrations folder. The first error is:
Upon trying to bypass by moving to the next script, it's followed by:
Lots are syntax errors. I have compatible version of PHP and MariaDB, this is my second clean install following directions closely. I tried migrating in command line as well and I get the same errors. Any advice here?

Hello with me the problem is that I can not go to the installation page. It loads forever but nothing happens. It redirects me to /atomcms/public/installation but then it says No access to page -Make sure the web address is correct

Hello there i have been setting up everything according to this tutorial, but i am struggeling a little when it comes to connect the IIS to the retro and it looks like that i have to generate a new key each time or else i get page not found or smth like thatWelcome to the part 2 of the "how to set up a retro with IIS" series! In this part we'll make a A LOT of progress towards making your new hotel playable
What will we cover in part 2:
Atom CMS setup
Atom HK setup
Volta (multi-node installations)
Nitro Converter setup
We'll need multiple versions of Node in-order to setup everything needed to play your new hotel, so to do that, we'll install a tool called "Volta" - Volta is a tool that lets us install & manage multiple versions of node hassle-free
Head toYou must be registered for see linksand click on the "You must be registered for see links" - Go through the installation process. Once volta has been installed re-open your CMD (command prompt) and enter:
Code:volta install [email protected] And volta install node
Install yarn
Code:volta install yarn@latest
It's finally time to set up Atom CMS! this is the part where things start to get a little exciting, as we will get to see our website start functioning.
The first step of our road to set up Atom CMS will be to enable the PHP extensions required by Atom CMS to function properly, to do that head to C:\Program Files\PHP and scroll down until you find a file named "php" which is of file type "INI"
You must be registered for see images attach
Open the file in your preferred editor (Mine will be Visual Studio Code)
Find the extensions list (You can find the list quickly by searching for "Dynamic Extensions") Once you've found the list, replace it with the extension list below.
Code:;extension=bz2 extension=curl ;extension=ffi ;extension=ftp extension=fileinfo extension=gd ;extension=gettext ;extension=gmp ;extension=intl ;extension=imap ;extension=ldap extension=mbstring ;extension=exif ; Must be after mbstring as it depends on it ;extension=mysqli ;extension=oci8_12c ; Use with Oracle Database 12c Instant Client ;extension=oci8_19 ; Use with Oracle Database 19 Instant Client ;extension=odbc extension=openssl ;extension=pdo_firebird extension=pdo_mysql ;extension=pdo_oci ;extension=pdo_odbc ;extension=pdo_pgsql ;extension=pdo_sqlite ;extension=pgsql ;extension=shmop ; The MIBS data available in the PHP distribution must be installed. ; See https://www.php.net/manual/en/snmp.installation.php ;extension=snmp ;extension=soap extension=sockets ;extension=sodium ;extension=sqlite3 ;extension=tidy ;extension=xsl
The next step
* If you have the URL Rewrite extension installed already, skip to the "Install Atom CMS" step below.
If you didn't install the URL Rewrite extension in part one, you'll have to install it now -You must be registered for see links. Simply click "Install this extension" and go through the setup process
Install Atom CMS:
Start by heading into your Atom CMS folder by opening command prompt (CMD) and enter
Code:cd C:/inetpub/wwwroot/atomcms
Next up enter the following your CMD
Code:copy .env.example .env
* Leave your terminal open and continue to "Connect Atom CMS to your database & then Dependencies installation" below.
Connect Atom CMS to your database:
To make Atom CMS able to communicate with our database, we'll have to set the correct credentials, to do that open the .env file that is now located in the root of the Atom CMS folder, and fill in your database credentials as well as the correct database name - The variables you'll have to edit can be found below:
DB_DATABASE=your-database-name
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=your-database-password
Dependencies installation:
Atom CMS relies on multiple different dependencies which we will have to install - To install those dependencies write the following commands
Code:composer install && npm i && npm run build:atom
This will install all the required dependencies & compile the necessary assets for you.

For Atom CMS to function we'll also have to generate an application key - luckily this is a simple process as well! All you have to do is to enter the following command in your CMD (command prompt)
Code:php artisan key:generate
Connect Atom CMS with IIS:
The time has come! We will now be connecting Atom CMS with IIS to make us able to browse our newly setup website
Step one:
Open up your Internet Information Services application and expand the section just below "Start Page"
You must be registered for see images attach
Expand the "sites" section and right-click on the "Default website" and then "remove".
You will then have to add a new site to IIS and to do that, right-click yet again on the "Sites" and click "Add Website..."
You must be registered for see images attach
In the "Site name:" field enter whatever name you find appropriate. In my case, I will just enter my domain name.
Next click the 3 dots next to the "Physical path:" field and browse into the "public" folder inside the "atomcms" folder. Once you have clicked on the "public" folder, click the "OK" button.
Once you have done all of the above your "Add website" popup should look like this:
You must be registered for see images attach
If that's the case simply click "OK".
Next up we'll have to give full permission to the "atomcms" folder. To achieve this, browse yourself into the "C:\inetpub\wwwroot" folder and right-click on the "atomcms" folder select "Properties" then click the "Security" tab and click on "Edit..." and then "Add..." - A pop up should appear looking like the image below.
You must be registered for see images attach
Enter "IIS_IUSRS" and then "OK". Click on "Add..." once more and add "IUSR" and then "OK".
Once both the "users" have been added, find both of them in the list and click them individually, once they have been selected toggle the "Full control" and then click "Apply" (Don't forget to do this on both the added users).
Check the images below, if you're unsure if you did it correctly

Once Atom CMS has been linked through IIS, you will be able to visit it through your domain name. The first time you visit it, you'll be prompted with an installation screen, which required you to paste in an installation code. This code can be found inside your database manager (DBeaver) within the table "website_installation" copy this code and paste it in, then go through the installation steps.
Important: Once you've finished the installation steps, open your .env files within your preferred editor once more, and set the APP_ENV to:
and the APP_DEBUG to:Code:APP_ENV=production
Code:APP_DEBUG=false
Before we can enter our hotel, we'll need to set up our emulator and to do that, the first thing we need to do is to install Java.
To install Java all you have to do is to download it -You must be registered for see links
Once Java has been downloaded, go through the setup process, by leaving everything to their default preset (Simply click "Install" and let Java install itself).
Java has been installed:
When Java has been installed, it should look like the image below:

Start by heading into your File explorer and navigate int othe following: "C:/ -> inetpub -> wwwroot -> atomcms -> public -> client" Here you'll find yourself with a folder called "emulator" simply drag it out to your desktop.
Open the "emulator" folder now located on your desktop and then edit the database credentials inside the config.ini file, so that they match the ones you made when setting up MariaDB - If you don't remember your credentials, simply open the .env file located in the root folder for Atom CMS and take them from there.
Once you've edited the config.ini so that the database credential matches you can safely save and close the config.ini file again.
Lastly click on the "start.bat" file so that your emulator fully boots up, once it's booted up, you can simply close it it back down.
There you go! Your emulator should now run smoothly for the future.
You're doing an amazing job so farIn the next part we will go through the process of setting up:
Nitro v2 & connect it's assets (latest as of July 2023)
To learn how to do all of the above, head to part 3 of this series, which will be the last and final part

Did I miss anything?
Please let me know if I missed anything, as the guide contains a lot of information.
( could u have helped me thru the teamviewer? I am not a pc pro so would be nice to learn something a long the way 
Been trying to make this work before with this tutorial but i stoped as i was stuck, but atleast everything is working eccept the IIS and the hotel. I got the cms work before, and it was only the client that didnt want to load. Got some errors in the emu, it should say loaded at the end but it says only continue so You've most likely just missed a small step or two when setting up. First couple of tries I did following this tutorial I had issues but I reinstalled my VPS OS, re started and took extra time reading and following every step. It worked for me!Hello there i have been setting up everything according to this tutorial, but i am struggeling a little when it comes to connect the IIS to the retro and it looks like that i have to generate a new key each time or else i get page not found or smth like that
Post automatically merged:
You set the directory to the 'public' folder within IIS as per the tutorial?
Post automatically merged:
You're using the wrong version of MariaDB. Download the version specified. I had the same issue at first.

Yeah i think so too. When i first started with this and followed the tutorial i gave up bcs i felt that this was an unpossible job. But iguess the only way to fully learn is to try and fail. Never got this far before, the issues rn looks like its only the IIS to use the correct url so the cms shows up again and then its the client.
I have one question or actually two xD U know the morningstar emu, when u click on the runbat and open it with notepad in there it says pause, is that suposed to stay that way or?
But yeah i will try to reinstall the vps and try again
Sorry i forgot to mention that i have only completed the part two tutorial that might be the reason why the nitro client is giving me errors, but still there is smth with the emulator that i have never been thru before. I only have experience with plus emulator so
xDIf i get the same problem again is there any chanse that someone here can guide me thru discord or teamviewer? I mean no should feel forced to do so, just feels more chill to know
Thank u so much for the help
Hope that everyone has a blessed day <3
