[Bug / Issue] Impossibile login in Admincp (404)

[Ivan Lapicirella]

Hi all.
I have a problem after the first installation of Vbulletin. I correctly followed the installation guides on Nginx server and the forum is well visible while it is impossible to access the admincp reserved area because I receive the 404 Not Found error.

1. vBulletin Version 5.4.3
2. PHP Version 7.1
3. MySQL Version 5.6
4. Any Addons installed no
5. Does the issue occur in a default style? yes
6. Does the issue occur using the English language provided? Yes
7. Error message on the screen' 404 Not Found
8. Browser and Browser version used. Chrome last version
9. Did you clear the browser cache and did the error continue? Yes I try on other browser
10. A list of steps that can be used to recreate the issue. login in admincp
11. If the issue is an Invalid Server response, the web server and PHP logs that correspond with its timestamp. No logs on server with this error

For nginx servers, you need to use a vhosts file.
Please follow these instructions:
