On another installation l get a blank page and on the browser console something like “`../api/v2/system/environment`” 400 error… (get also 404, 500, etc)

Then copy this “`../api/v2/system/environment`” and put in Postman app and get in the message “`Unknown relationship: app_lookup_by_app_id`” !

The problem is related with table engine, is set to **MyISAM** and need to be **InnoDB**!

I have to change server default mysql engine to InnoDB, then remove all tables in the database, make a new tables installation (`php artisan migrate --seed`), new df setup (`php artisan df:setup`) to create the Admin user, clear the cache (`php artisan cache:clear`) and then all works!
