Hello there,

I've got exactly the same issue, trying to install the same version, but on my shared hosting (Hostinger). Tested on Brave and Safari (both latest versions).

Hi both, I saw this when I was away last week, and was a bit concerned - the errors you show seem to show some kind of adware?

Error with Permissions-Policy header: Origin trial controlled feature not enabled: 'attribution-reporting'.
Error with Permissions-Policy header: Origin trial controlled feature not enabled: 'run-ad-auction'.
Error with Permissions-Policy header: Origin trial controlled feature not enabled: 'join-ad-interest-group'.

However 0.9.7.2 (latest release) is still dated from last year - so I assume this is a red herring and something custom to your deployment.

Initially, please check the dependencies, as currently PHP/MariaDB versions need to be PHP 7.2 maximum and the max tested version of MariaDB is 10.6. I do need to roll a new release - but I recall that higher versions do have changed behaviour.

So - please retest with the documented versions!

I had a similar concern, however, testing the installation in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and it works fine with v0.9.6

Ubuntu 22.04 is the only one that gets this issue. Not entirely too sure what is causing it
