Multiple problems with OpenProject

Added by Charles C. almost 6 years ago

Hi,

I tried OpenProject on two machines and as of yet, cannot get either to work.

Problem 1: On one machine, I used the Docker image. This works somewhat but there are a couple problems. The "OpenProject" logo at the top points to 127.0.0.1 for some reason and not the correct domain that I put into Settings. Things frequently redirect to 127.0.0.1, e.g. after I edit a user. Very frustrating. I probably also need to redirect SMTP in the setup but I will do that if/when I can solve this problem.

Problem 2: I also installed OpenProject on a different machine, from the package for CentOS. This version almost works but the invitation tokens are always invalid. I checked and memcached is enabled and running. I have no idea what to do, there.

I did try a manual install of OpenProject but that was a hopeless mess. Ruby is not very consistent and after several problems, I finally thought it was installed properly. "gem install bundler" worked just fine and installed v2.0.2. However, "bundle install..." failed because it "needs bundler 2". That made no sense. Someone advised deleting the lock file. That destroyed everything. I deleted everything and started over but Ruby still complained that the lock file was missing. I gave up. This paragraph is just me venting about Ruby. I had a very poor experience with it, so I am sorry to say that I am not fan and will probably never be.

Anyway, can anyone help with those two problems, above? I'd really like to see this running. Having it almost work has been very discouraging. I'm trying to get invested in it but keep getting held back.
