Good afternoon, when I try to use Quick Install to pre-install WordPress, I get the following error:
Install WordPress
Error: file not found /home/xxx/web/xxx/public_html/wp-config-sample.php
Is there a solution?

Hi @servtelecom
Run these commands and try to install WP again (replace YourUser
and YourDomain
with the actual user and domain):
rm -rf /home/YourUser/web/YourDomain/public_html/.*
rm -rf /home/YourUser/web/YourDomain/public_html/*
rm -rf /tmp/hestia-webapp
I keep getting the same error
I’ve tested it now and it works fine. Are you selecting php 8.3 on WP Quick Install?
I have PHP 8.2 selected, I’ll try it with 8.3 to see if it works.
It still doesn’t work, I’ve tried leaving everything on default and it didn’t work either.
Show the error log for that domain.
The logs are completely blank, only the bytes log continues with numbers. There are no logs in nginx either.
Check this error log:
/usr/local/hestia/nginx/logs/error.log
2025/06/18 19:20:40 [warn] 2470#0: “ssl_stapling” ignored, host not found in OCSP responder “r3.o.lencr.org” in the certificate “/usr/local/hestia/ssl/certificate.crt”
repeat this line but apart from this there is no other error in this log
The domain where I’m trying to create this WordPress is newly created, in case it serves as a clue.
That’s a warning and not related to the WP issue. I can’t reproduce it so I don’t know what’s going on…
No problem, I’ll install it manually, which is how I always do. Since I’ve got a new domain, I wanted to try Quick Install.
Thanks!
