If you encounter permission errors during installation:
sudo bash <(curl -s http://installer.trexz.xyz/install.sh)
Make sure you're running the installer with root or sudo privileges.

- Check what's using the port:
sudo lsof -i :80
sudo lsof -i :443
- Stop the conflicting service:
sudo systemctl stop apache2
# or
sudo systemctl stop nginx

If the panel can't connect to the database:
- Verify MariaDB is running:
sudo systemctl status mariadb

.envfile - Ensure the database user has proper permissions
