new installation on a running webserver

Added by mauro santini almost 2 years ago

Dear all,

checking online about how to configure OP I found all tutorial really straight forward but unfortunately I'm facing many issues.

I run Ubuntu 22.04 server with Apache2 server running with few web applications, a domain based on a DDNS service and I've installed postgres V15 with a dedicated db and role.

My intention is to install openproject as op.example.com. I prepared already virtual hosts on port 80,443 for this subdomain and everything works from apache/server point of view.

I installed openproject package and run:

sudo openproject configure

The above command I understood create and populate a directory: /opt/openproject

During the configuration I can connect to the database. For the FQDN I specify op.example.com with no subdirectory. I confirm SSL connection. Regarding the Apache setting I skip it because it is already installed, running and ready for the dedicated sub-domain. At the end of the installation the DocumentRoot for op.example.com is still empty

During the installation I can't see it stopping for specific errors and I assume everything is ok. I checked op log file with no joy

I'm completely stuck and I have no idea how to troubleshoot the situation to understand if it is a configuration problem or a server issue.

Following the "suggested method of installation" I can't see anything I can do different that make sense based on what I read online and my server configuration but I'm sure I still miss some information which might help the community

somewhere online I read also the virtualhost should point to the public directory from the root folder. I tried but I have no access I believe for permission issues.

Bottom line: I'm an amatorial linux/opensource fan and my knowledge is limited. I already run nextcloud and I love the idea of the interaction with openproject.

thanks a lot and I hope this post and following answers will help others like me in the same situation

Download the installation media in the form of a ZIP file. Extract the contents of the Apache Web Server 2.4 zip to the file system. Locate the extracted Apache24 folder and copy this folder to the root of C:\ Open the C:\Apache24\bin folder and run the httpd.exe command. My Family Mobile Phones

RE: new installation on a running webserver - Added by mauro santini almost 2 years ago

diggind the docs section i found how to read log file and I set debug as default to get as much information as possible. below the msg I can find which I think need attention:

  1. /opt/openproject/config/constants/settings/definition.rb:305:in `find_env_var_override': Using unprefixed environment variables is deprecated. Please use OPENPROJECT_ATTACHMENTS_STORAGE_PATH instead of ATTACHMENTS_STORAGE_PATH (StructuredWarnings::StandardWarning)
  2. /opt/openproject/config/constants/settings/definition.rb:305:in `find_env_var_override': Using unprefixed environment variables is deprecated. Please use OPENPROJECT_RAILS_CACHE_STORE instead of RAILS_CACHE_STORE (StructuredWarnings::StandardWarning)
  3. /opt/openproject/lib/tasks/environment.rake:32:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>': Forcefully loading the application. Use :environment to avoid eager loading. (StructuredWarnings::StandardWarning)
  4. /opt/openproject/vendor/bundle/ruby/3.1.0/gems/activerecord-7.0.4/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/postgresql/database_statements.rb:48:in `exec': PG::InsufficientPrivilege: ERROR:  permission denied for schema public (ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid)

the first 2 point I think are simple warnings but I'd like to fix

point #3: no idea how much could interfere with the installation

point #4: there are a couple of error about PG::InsufficientPrivilege. This msg seams to me about postgres. The user I created has same settings of postgres and I can access with no issue

thanks
