Hi Martin,

you should run the task ‘db:create:all’ only if the database(s) doesn’t exist. If the database already exist just go to the next step.

Hi,

I think that https://www.openproject.org/projects/openproject/wiki/Debian_Stable_with_MySQL_in_production has many flaws. Thats very annoying.

Why do I create a Database at Step 2 and what is the intent of the commands at steps 5???

Moreover: If I delete the complete database openproject and thereafter call “bundle exec rake db:create:all” again, I get “Access denied for user ‘openproject’@‘localhost’” despite I created the user “openproject” and granted all priviledges at step 2.

What do the commands at step 5 mean? What do I need and what is useless?

[openproject@debian]# bundle exec rake db:migrate
[openproject@debian]# RAILS_ENV=“production” bundle exec rake db:seed
[openproject@debian]# bundle exec rake generate_secret_token
[openproject@debian]# RAILS_ENV=“production” bundle exec rake db:migrate
[openproject@debian]# RAILS_ENV=“production” bundle exec rake assets:precompile

Would be nice to have a working blue print of the installation procedure to get it simply running for the first time.

Thanks in advance.

Hi!, I have the same problem trying to use Postgress… Step 8 tells you to create the databases, then in Step 9 you have the command “bundle exec rake db:create:all”. It fails because the database already exists. Any idea how to continue with the initial setup?

Regards,

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

instead of “bundle exec rake db:create:all” you should omit “all” and try “RAILS_ENV=”production" bundle exec rake db:create".

To sum up:
[openproject@debian]# RAILS_ENV=“production” bundle exec rake db:create
[openproject@debian]# RAILS_ENV=“production” bundle exec rake generate_secret_token
[openproject@debian]# RAILS_ENV=“production” bundle exec rake db:seed
[openproject@debian]# RAILS_ENV=“production” bundle exec rake db:migrate
[openproject@debian]# RAILS_ENV=“production” bundle exec rake assets:precompile

Hi! and sorry the delay…

The first command was unsuscefull because it tells that the database already exists… The following commands executed ok…
Later, trying to starts the server fails again with the following text:

Any idea?

Best regards,

Hi Daniel,

can you show us your database.yml file? (with changed or removed passwords). I suspect that there is some typo in that file.

cheers,
Philipp

Hi i had the same problem i solved it by running:

“RAILS_ENV=”production" bundle exec rails server"
instead of just “bundle exec rails server”

but now if i visit the page it just looks like that:

and also the admin login is not working.

i followed this guide: https://www.openproject.org/projects/openproject/wiki/Installation_Ubuntu

Hi Samy,

did you run the seed data for the production environment (to create an admin account)? Otherwise you would need to manually create an admin account to login.

RAILS_ENV="production" bundle exec rake db:seed

Did you precompile your assets?

RAILS_ENV="production" bundle exec rake assets:precompile

Best,
Robin

I didn’t run seed. Now that i did, the admin login is working.

I also didn’t precompile the assets, but if i do they are still not found:

ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches [GET] "/assets/application-e488d7f0657ab8ee979c4976a4c3a0c1.js"):

But i can view the files in my browser if i directly access them.

I’m testing this on a virtual machine online, should i set my domain name somewhere?

Sry I’m new to ruby.

Hi Again,
I fixed the problem.

you have to change this in
/config/environments/production.rb
# Disable Rails's static asset server (Apache or nginx will already do this)
config.serve_static_assets = false
to
config.serve_static_assets = true

if you want to use the build in webserver.

Hi Samy,

sorry for the late reply.
Great to hear it’s working now. :)

Best,
Robin
