+Page not found and the url seems wrong (&)
+----------------------------------------------

+- The url looks like `/?controller=auth&action=login&redirect_query=` instead of `?controller=auth&action=login&redirect_query=`
+- Kanboard returns a "Page not found" error
+
+This issue come from your PHP configuration, the value of `arg_separator.output` is not the PHP's default, there is different ways to fix that:
+
+Change the value directly in your `php.ini` if you have the permission:
+
+```
+arg_separator.output = "&"
+```
+
+Override the value with a `.htaccess`:
+
+```
+php_value arg_separator.output "&"
+```
+
+Otherwise Kanboard will try to override the value directly in PHP.
