Hey,
I tried to install slickstack for more then 3 times and all the times i get a 403 on WordPress.
What can be wrong? We don’t use cloudflare
sh: 1: /usr/sbin/sendmail: not found
ERROR 1046 (3D000) at line 1: No database selected
Thats the error i see in installation

This happens when the WordPress database doesn’t populate correctly. For security reasons SlickStack blocks requests to /wp-admin/install.php
… this means you have to install WordPress via SlickStack commands instead of via your browser.
Simply running ss-install
again should fix this common problem. Or to be more specific you could also run ss-install-wordpress-core
instead which is more narrow script.
sh: 1: /usr/sbin/sendmail: not found
ERROR 1046 (3D000) at line 1: No database selected
This is not important.
sudo bash /var/www/ss-install-wordpress-core
or
ss install wp core
This is the snippet that is not running correctly:

H. SS-Install-WordPress-Core: Populate Production Database Options (Conditional)
it’s a known problem.
you can try to manually run that snippet if nothing else works.
What about WP-CLI instead
Yes WP-CLI can populate the WordPress database instead but SlickStack has always tried to default to using our own scripts that are dependency-free.
If any emergency you can use WP-CLI, because it’s included in SlickStack.
the script filename has changed, now it’s:
sudo bash /var/www/ss-install-wordpress-packages
or ss install wp packages
or ss install wp core
still works!
