Error 500 On Fresh Install Of 1.3

[acmeraptor]

Describe the bug
Minor/documentation. There appears to be new files/paths created between the documented step of changing file ownership/permissions and the console installation.
kimai-1.3-error.log

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. chown -R :www-data .
   chmod -R g+r .
   chmod -R g+rw var/
2. (In .env file) DATABASE_URL=mysql://user:[email protected]:3306/database
3. bin/console kimai:install -n

Additional context
Re-running the ownership/permission changes following the install step clears the error.

Hm, that shouldn't happen. Actually the caches should be pre-filled before you open the page the first time. I'll give it a try and see if anything changed.
Thanks for posting!

I didn't dive into the whole tree structure, but I saw that (mypath)/kimai2/var/cache/prod had somehow reverted from :www-data to :mygroup following the install step. I just ran the recursive chown/chmods to fix it again.
This is a test VM so I tried several times going back and forth between 1.2 and 1.3, it only happens on 1.3 for some reason. Hope this helps!

Can't remember when I added the change to the documentation, introducing the kimai:install command. But I guess that the updated documentation should do the trick:
https://www.kimai.org/documentation/installation.html#recommended-setup

The permission change is not necessary before the install command, as all is done by the same user.

[kevinpapst]

What I want to say is: I changed the order: first install, then change permissions.
I hope that this will fix all issues.

Thanks for posting, yes it helps! That was important feedback and it will likely help to prevent a lot of questions by less experienced bash users ;-)
