Installation Configuration

Is it me ? Or is Forge just a huge headache rather than useful ?

  • After three attempts, can't even get index.php working.
  • Why am I forced to use ngnix, something I'm not familiar with ?
  • Why can't I select a fully functional working server I have already created with rackspace ?
  • Why am I forced to use unfamiliar directories ?
  • Why can't I select my SSH key, no I have to delete what forge creates and re-create my keys so I can SSH from my linux desktop.

Is forge helpful, or a complete control freak ? AI at it's worse !

In 24 hours, I'm still at a standstill. When digging deep into this problem: No input file specified.

I find that Forge did not even create my site folder /home/forge/mysite <== does not exist.

What bothers me, is there's really not a lot of options to choose from, name create and presto ! nothing . . ..

Just want to know, am I the only one ?

I used the DigitalOcean one and it worked very well. So not sure if you found a Rackspace bug? Ngnix or? For me I rather no longer care after 10+ years of LAMP. I just want it to work so I see this is a plus that it "just works" "Fully Functional Server" maybe in a later version this is new. (: "Why am I forced to use unfamiliar directories" see the "I rather no longer care" item above. Ssh key? I just uploaded my public key in the interface did yours not work? You can do more than one.
