I followed the manual install instructions adapting them from ubuntu to opensuse 42.3 as i went.

This is not a dedicated server,  So automatic packages that make lots of random changes are not welcome.

I also used the following in my apache config as this is not a dedicated server for just openproject.

LoadModule passenger_module /home/openproject/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.5.3/gems/passenger-6.0.1/buildout/apache2/mod_passenger.so
   <IfModule mod_passenger.c>
     PassengerRoot /home/openproject/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.5.3/gems/passenger-6.0.1
     PassengerDefaultRuby /home/openproject/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.5.3/wrappers/ruby
   </IfModule>

Alias /opj "/home/openproject/openproject-ce/public/"
Alias /opj/ "/home/openproject/openproject-ce/public/"

SetEnv EXECJS_RUNTIME Disabled
<Directory /home/openproject/openproject-ce/public>
      # This relaxes Apache security settings.
      AllowOverride all
      # MultiViews must be turned off.
      Options -MultiViews
      # Uncomment this if you're on Apache >= 2.4:
      Require all granted
</Directory>

Right after install i did not have memcached turned on,  and i got errors about failed connections to port 11211 from the openproject logs  But now i don't get any after my latest attempt with memcached running.

In fact i get no log files whatsoever other than the default and not surprising apache log messages in its files.

I also have no binary executable called "openproject" that i have seen called out as a way to configure things.  

When loading this page "http://192.168.1.20/opj/"  i only get Error 404  from apache "Object not found!"

When i load this page "http://192.168.1.20/opj/500.html"  I get the openproject error 500 page as seen at "/home/openproject-ce/public/500.html"

I have never seen a more insane install procedure for a web service, or any linux software, and i am convinced that it is missing a step somewhere,  as my latest install did not give any Error messages.  and also failed to provide a openproject binary.  (IE  I cant run stuff like "openproject configure"

Below is my apache error log and access log.

I have no idea where to go from here.
