Did you empty the Joomla folder before copying the .jpa file there with Kickstart.php?

[Johan Allard]

I had to update PHP from 8.0 to 7.4.
This solved the problem.

Sounds like the version of kickstart.php you were trying to use is not compatible with PHP 8.

[Johan Allard]

Went down tp PHP 7.4, delete all files of root directry, restored, and reinstalled Joomla 4.0

Problem solved
