### Description

I’m testing rocket.chat using the docker script available from  
[https://docs.rocket.chat/installation/docker-containers/docker-compose](https://docs.rocket.chat/installation/docker-containers/docker-compose)

The only items I changed were the ROOT\_URL which I set to my local server I’m testing. ROOT\_URL=http://10.2.0.10:3000

When I get to the setup wizard on [http://10.2.0.10:3000/setup-wizard/](http://10.2.0.10:3000/setup-wizard/) I can fill in name, username, email, password and click on Continue. Continue turns light blue and the process just hangs. I’ve tried this on Chrome and Firefox

I’ve checked all the docker logs and everything seems to be running normally. Any ideas?

Thanks  
David

I did check the post where there seemed to be a similar issue: [Can't get Setup Wizard to progress beyond 'Step 1' - 'continue' button does nothing](https://forums.rocket.chat/t/cant-get-setup-wizard-to-progress-beyond-step-1-continue-button-does-nothing/6581)

But changing the email had no affect on the lack of progress of the setup wizard

Anything in browser logs or server logs at all? This sounds kinda like a client side issue

I have the same problem, no way to pass setup wizard page 1. ’ve tried this on Chrome, Firefox and Edge.

Like [mozartatplay](https://forums.rocket.chat/u/mozartatplay) I used the official docker-compose script and only changed the ROOT\_URL variable.  
I tried on my Ubuntu 18.04 server and on google cloud Ubuntu 20.04 virtual machine. When I load the setup wizard page, I insert the data and press the continue button the page freezes. If I try to reload the page the normal login page appears, but obviously there is no user to log in.

I have recreated the containers many times and tried to access the setup page from chrome, firefox, edge from my desktop, my laptop and (chrome and firefox) from my android phone.
