Just installed CI4 via AppStarter, changed nothing more than the baseURL and got a 500 in the browser saying "Whoops! We seem to have hit a snag. Please try again later...".
Digging deeper I found out that there happens a call to a cache()->get()-function which checks if the current request is already cached. Combined with the finding, that the default cache handler is "file", I guessed and made the writable directory writable for www-data and the request succeeded.
Neither the installation section in the CI4-docs nor the CI4-error message gave me a hint to the correct direction. Maybe one of those two could be optimized (preferring a more meaningful 500 error message). It was just experienced PHP-dev intuition and debugging in the vendors directory, which not everyone may be capable of, that lead me to the right fix.
