This installed successfully on my Windows 10 box. Then I visit the app and enter all setup credentials to “Create a System Admin User” and click Create and a “Whoops…” message comes up. Looking at the error log, the exact error is " REST Exception #404 \> Could not find a service for user, referer: [http://localhost:8090/setup](http://localhost:8090/setup)". There were no errors during setup and the services seem to be work fine. I’ve rebooted severally. How can I fix? ---

copy the composer.phar file into the htdocs folder. then from the htdocs folder run ``` /path/to/php.exe composer.phar update ``` (not self-update) Then do the artisan commands referenced above. This will update the install based on the composer.json file. ---

I’m unable to duplicate this problem. Did you try to uninstall the Bitnami package, reboot, and run the installer again? ---

Ok I will do just that. Please note however: my ports 3306 and 80 are already in use by other services so when I installed I configured 3307 and 8090 for dreamfactory MySQL and Apache respectively. I hope this does not cause unexpected results as I will be repeating this installation procedure. ---

I found out that this is a known issue with the beta-2 for Windows package. Even though you specify for it to use different ports for MySQL it still tries to use the default. Since the installer package doesn’t have root access to existing MySQL server it cannot create the database and tables needed for a successful installation. This issue is resolved in the beta-3 package, due out very soon. ---

beta-3 is now available from Bitnami. [https://bitnami.com/stack/dreamfactory/installer](https://bitnami.com/stack/dreamfactory/installer)
