Install Magento 2 with ISPConfig 3.11 difficult or simple out of the box? Error 500

The APS packages are not made for nginx servers as far as I know, they are from apsstandard.org and probably contain apache configs only (.htaccess files). Beside that, not all of them are working, so it might always be that some of them cause problems, especially when a software is more complicated. I installed Magento 2 two weeks ago, but I use the normal Magento installation process with their install script and not an APS package. I used this nginx config in the nginx directives field which works pretty well here:

Not sure why you assume that as the error message mentions something different:

When you google for security.limit_extensions then you will see that this is neither related to the timezone nor the cgi.fix_pathinfo setting.

 

As a side note as you seem to have this issue in /setup URL's, did you notice in the magento2 docs that Magento2 on nginx servers has to be installed by using their shell install script as the web installer is not compatible with nginx according to the Magento developers?

From Magento docs:

"You cannot use the Web Setup Wizard when installing Magento on nginx. You must use the command line."

http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.0/install-gde/prereq/nginx.html

that's why I installed magento2 on my server as described in the official docs with:

Code:

./magento setup:install --base-url=http://www.magento-dev.com/ --db-host=localhost --db-name=magento --db-user=magento --db-password=magento --admin-firstname=admin --admin-lastname=admin [email protected] --admin-user=admin --admin-password=admin123 --language=en_US --currency=USD --timezone=America/Chicago --use-rewrites=1

command after I uploading magento to the website and intalling the dependencies with "composer install -v"

 

You are free to set that option to whatever works best for you.
