I recently installed CouchCMS on my web host running on AWS EC2 with PHP 8.3.7 (I am unable to downgrade) and MySQL 15.1 (10.5.25-MariaDB).

The admin panel loads and the database tables were created properly. I can add the couch code to my PHP files, and these do show up as templates. When I attempt to edit text fields, they don't get edited after clicking Save. Also, I am unable to add new users to the database via the admin panel.

I would appreciate any thoughts on this and what might be wrong.

Welcome to the Couch Forum! Just say your Reddit post.

I'm unfamiliar with AWS EC2, but it sounds like you have everything you need (PHP, MySQL), running on Ubuntu via Apache, yes?

It also sounds like you're visiting the templates and Couch is persisting the changes (creating editable fields in the admin panel), which means Couch is able to interface with the database okay. But the database is not saving content you enter into the fields?

Are you able to share more details or image URLs showing the problem or share any source code here?
