Community Edition (Packaged): Trouble Configuring MySQL

Added by Brian G. Shacklett over 10 years ago

I installed the openproject-ce package from the packager.io repository. The package installation went smoothly, but the configuration step fails. It states that it can’t find the root password to create the MySQL database, but during the configuration screens, I’m never prompted for any information about my MySQL install, except whether to manage it or not.

Output after the configure script runs:

DONE
[openproject] ./bin/configure
[legacy-installer] ./bin/preinstall
[mysql] ./bin/preinstall
[apache2] ./bin/preinstall
[svn-dav] ./bin/preinstall
[smtp] ./bin/preinstall
[memcached] ./bin/preinstall
No memcached server to install. Skipping.
[openproject] ./bin/preinstall
[legacy-installer] ./bin/postinstall
[mysql] ./bin/postinstall
Can't find the root password to create the MySQL database
