Hello,

Can you share what OS you are installing DreamFactory on, and what action you're taking when you say "launch the software"? Can't say I am overly familiar with this specific error, and the file paths in the trace are atypical.

Hi, I am using dreamfactory with nginx on a shared opalstack server. It supports Laravel applications. I followed these steps:

1. Create a new Laravel app at https://my.opalstack.com/apps/.

2. Assign the new app to a website at https://my.opalstack.com/domains/.

3. Create a PostgreSQL database

4. SSH to my Laravel app's shell user and run the following commands:

5. source scl_source enable php83

6. cd ~/apps/treebe_dreamfactory

7. rm -rf project

8. git clone https://github.com/dreamfactorysoftware/dreamfactory.git ./project

9. cd project

10. composer install --no-dev --ignore-platform-reqs

11. php artisan df:env

12. php artisan df:setup

When I try to connect from the browser I get error 500...

same error with docker installation, -branch 7.0.0

==================

after looking into the codes:

1. SplashController.php#index has different codes in 7.0.0 and master branch, although 7.0.0 is the latest branch released two weeks ago and no changes afterwards.
2. try to use the main branch, the error has gone, but with a new error: $version is not defined in firstuser.blade.php
3. try to remove the $version line in that file, it sticks at the setup page after pressing the "create" button
4. ……
