      Strange, I've got it running on a Fedora 28 machine.

      Give me 10 or so and i'll try and dig out my instructions I made while installing it.

        I had no issues on CentOS 7 previously.

        I did not expect any issues here.

        Haven't had troubleshooting time yet.

        I installed Fedora 28 minimal. installed tar and wget. Disabled selinux. Ran the installer and had problems.

        So I installed Fedora 28 Server. Same result on install. no packages needed installed though.

        I'm visiting my dad, so I'll do more troublshooting tonight or tomorrow.

          Just had a look and looks like I didn't do a "install guide" for ScreenConnect when I re-did all my Linux servers on HyperV host 😞

          I think I had some issues but I think the solutions were on the ConnectWise Forums.

            Apparently is an issue with the Mono package as below:

              System.Exception: Magic number is wrong: 542

              Searching for the error leads to a mono bug https://github.com/mono/mono/issues/6752#issuecomment-365212655

              Which supposedly you can get working by exporting an enviromental variable

              export TERM=xterm
              

              According to the last comment on the thread https://github.com/mono/mono/issues/6752#issuecomment-404527450 the issue fix should already be backported on fedora which makes it strange as the error is happening on fedora 28 for jared.

                This did resolve my problem. Sorry for not posting sooner.

                The comment said it was backported by Fedora, but I saw no links, just the comment saying it was backported.

                @scottalanmiller tag his post as the answer.

                  Once it was working with the above fix, I hadn'thad time to take our systemdown and move it.

                  Just did that today. Working perfectly.

                      Just went to upgrade the install today to the current version and had this error again.

                      Again, setting up the TERM variable prior to running ./install.sh resolved the issue.

                          So anyone that wants to configure Nginx in front of it can do that, too.
