Unable to complete CDash installation

While following the instructions here: https://github.com/Kitware/CDash/blob/master/docs/install.md on both Ubnutu 20.04 LTS server and FreeBSD 13.0, the installation fails at the final step. When I attempt to load http://servername, I get a redirect to http://localhost/install.php. Running curl against the server gave me the following output:

$CDASH_DB_LOGIN = 'cdash';
$CDASH_DB_PASS = 'LIKE_I_WOULD_POST_IT_IN_PUBLIC';
$CDASH_BASE_URL = 'http://cdash.domain.tld/';
$CDASH_USE_HTTPS = '0';
$CDASH_CURL_REQUEST_LOCALHOST = '0';
$CDASH_SERVER_NAME = 'cdash.domain.tld';
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <meta charset="UTF-8" />
        <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url='http://localhost/install.php'" />

        <title>Redirecting to http://localhost/install.php</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        Redirecting to <a href="http://localhost/install.php">http://localhost/install.php</a>.
    </body>

Running php /opt/CDash/public/index.php on the server gives the same output.

https://github.com/Kitware/CDash/issues/1084 - I tried setting APP_URL manually in the .env file so now I don't get the redirect to localhost, I get a text document with the CDASH variables in it instead.

You have APP_URL defined in your .env file, and then you have this line later on in that same file, right?

MIX_APP_URL="${APP_URL}"

I get a text document with the CDASH variables in it instead.

This behavior isn't ringing a bell to me, unfortunately. Here's a quick test to see if your web server is rendering PHP scripts correctly. Try writing a file to CDash/public/phpinfo.php with the following contents:

<?php
phpinfo();

Next open http://cdash.domain.tld/phpinfo.php with a web browser to see if it renders correctly or not.
