So i had the problem i couldn't reach the admin page right after installing Magento2 on a clean system. I finally solved it by adding an extra subdomain to my website that is not :443 enabled, but only :80 for running the setup function. It seems that on a existing website running HTTPS, you can't use the setup, because the HTTPS protocol wont let you.
What errors were displayed:
I got the "Magento Setup - 401 Unauthorized Access" Error when typing example.com/setup displaying this:
Or i had the 404 "page not found error" when using the URI example.com/admin_XXXX
The solution is to add a extra sub-domain on the website containing the magento2 folder.
First of all i went to the DNS section of my provider and added an extra "A-record" for the subdomain webshop.example.com
Then i added the new virtual domain to my apache2 configuration:
first navigate to the folder containing the files:
$ cd /etc/apache2/sites-available
use pico or vi to create the new config file:
sudo pico webshop.example.conf
and add the virtual host lines that configure the webshop.example.com sub-domain:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
ServerName webshop.example.nl
ServerAlias webshop.example.nl
# i uploaded all magento2 files to the folder webshop
#most of you will use magento2
DocumentRoot /var/www/example/webshop
#i use seperate log files for every hosted domain:
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/webshop_example_error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/webshop_example_access.log combined
#my magento2 files are in the folder named "webshop"
#most of you will use magento2 as foldername
<Directory "/var/www/example/webshop">

</VirtualHost>Safe the file. Then load it to the active sites set on the webserver by using:
sudo a2ensite webshop.example.conf
restart apache2 and check if it is functioning correct:
sudo systemctl reload apache2 systemctl status apache2.service
If there are any errors they are displayed. correct them. if it's running fine you'll get:
:/etc/apache2/sites-available$ systemctl status apache2.service
