Thanks; that suggests that the request is being handled by nginx.

No worries.

The nginx config that handles this request to this server is what
matters first.

We can see that it does return 404; it sounds like you want it to return
a redirect to /installer/, and then you want the request to /installer/
to cause the file installer/index.php to be php-processed. And neither
of those happens.

The current nginx config should show why other things happen instead.

Something like "nginx -T" can show the config file content; other
possibilities exist as well.

Thanks,
