Hello to all,

I am trying to install Cockpit, I plan to use it with SQLite, I unzipped the installation, I placed in the same subdirectory and I got this error in the apache error.log

```
  PHP Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required '/var/www/mydomain.com/public_html/cockpit-master/lib/vendor/composer/../mongodb/mongodb/src/functions.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php') in /var/www/mydomain.com/public_html/cockpit-master/lib/vendor/composer/autoload_real.php on line 66

```

The browser only shows:  
HTTP ERROR 500

These are my PHP Modules:  
php71u-cli.i686  
php71u-common.i686  
php71u-gd.i686  
php71u-intl.i686

php71u-pdo.i686  
php71u-pecl-apcu.i686  
php71u-process.i686  
php71u-xml.i686

I checked mod\_rewrite is enabled

Sorry for the image, your support system does not allow me to post that information.

Any help is appreciated  
Thanks and regards

Could be a file permission issue 🤔

Thanks a lot Artur,  
1.- I deleted the hosting account and recreated again, paying attention to permissions and ownership and it worked! 😃  
2.- I like Cockpit concept, and I would like to use Paulo implementation with React Static, it looks very nice:

> **[pauloamgomes/CockpitCMS-React-Static](https://github.com/pauloamgomes/CockpitCMS-React-Static)**
>
> Example implementation using a combination of Cockpit Headless CMS and React Static - pauloamgomes/CockpitCMS-React-Static

  
I was able to install node.js but not Docker, my problem is that I am using a Centos 6 VPS with 32 bits i686 architecture. I looked for tutorials but they are outdated, the installation fails with current packages.

2.1 Does anybody knows a tutorial on installing and running Docker in 32 bits VPS that works nowadays??

Thanks and Regards
