Issues installing OpenProject on Ubuntu Server

Added by Joaquin Aguilera Urbina almost 9 years ago

Hello, im trying to install OpenProject on a Ubuntu Server 16.04.2, this server already has Apache and MySQL but when I try to run sudo openproject configure this is the result that I get:

I checked that file in /opt/openproject/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.1.0/extensions/x86_64-linux/2.1.0-static/mysql2-0.4.3/mysql2/mysql2.so exists and it has 777 perms and the database.yml has the next:
production:
adapter: mysql
database: openproject
host: localhost
username: openproject
password: node248-l
encoding: utf8

development:
adapter: mysql
database: openproject_development
host: localhost
username: openproject
password: node248-l
encoding: utf8

databases are tested and working so I don’t know what could be the issue

RE: Issues installing OpenProject on Ubuntu Server - Added by Oliver Günther almost 9 years ago

Hey Joaquin,

users were seeing this exact issue when using the Ubuntu 14.04. package source instead of the 16.04. package source.
For OpenProject 6.x, this source is:

https://deb.packager.io/gh/opf/openproject-ce xenial stable/6

Best,
Oliver

RE: Issues installing OpenProject on Ubuntu Server - Added by Simon Knappe almost 9 years ago

I’ve got exact the same problem. Fresh Ubuntu Server 16.04.1 installation, then:

wget -qO - https://deb.packager.io/key | sudo apt-key add - echo "deb https://deb.packager.io/gh/opf/openproject-ce xenial stable/6" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openproject.list sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install openproject openproject configure

results in error

LoadError: Could not load 'active_record/connection_adapters/mysql2_adapter'. Make sure that the adapter in config/database.yml is valid. If you use an adapter other than 'mysql', 'mysql2', 'postgresql' or 'sqlite3' add the necessary adapter gem to the Gemfile.

Is there any solution?

RE: Issues installing OpenProject on Ubuntu Server - Added by Oliver Günther almost 9 years ago

Hi Simon,

thanks for weighing in. This issue is rooted in the LoadError a few lines below in the backtrace (cf. OPs log output):

LoadError: libmysqlclient.so.18: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory - /opt/openproject/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.1.0/extensions/x86_64-linux/2.1.0-static/mysql2-0.4.3/mysql2/mysql2.so

The packages bundled mysql gem fails to locate the shared library, which means that the buildpack is wrongly referencing it.
I’ve created a bug report for it here:

Best,
Oliver

RE: Issues installing OpenProject on Ubuntu Server - Added by Joaquin Aguilera Urbina almost 9 years ago

Good morning, Oliver,

Do you know if is there any quick fix to this, that I could made? because I do really need to set OpenPoject as soon as possible on my server. If necesary I could install any old version that can be ran on Ubuntu Server 16.04

Greetings, Joaquin

RE: Issues installing OpenProject on Ubuntu Server - Added by Jason Bowman almost 9 years ago

Greetings all,

I am trying to demo this option for my boss today.

Is there a quick workaround? Maybe an older version that we can upgrade from later?
Would you recommend a manual install?

Same issues and errors as above. Installing via packager.io repository on a fresh Ubuntu 16.04.

Thank you,
Jason B.

RE: Issues installing OpenProject on Ubuntu Server - Added by Jason Bowman almost 9 years ago

Quick side note. I get the same LoadError as above and noticed that the referenced file does exist on my system:

# ls -la /opt/openproject/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.1.0/extensions/x86_64-linux/2.1.0-static/mysql2-0.4.3/mysql2/mysql2.so

RE: Issues installing OpenProject on Ubuntu Server - Added by Andreas Metag almost 9 years ago

i get the same Error, what can we do ?

RE: Issues installing OpenProject on Ubuntu Server - Added by Oliver Günther almost 9 years ago

Hi everyone,

we have released a new stable/6 package with a fix for Ubuntu 16.04.
https://packager.io/gh/opf/openproject-ce/install?bid=175#ubuntu-16-04-openproject

Could you please try that version?

Best,
Oliver

RE: Issues installing OpenProject on Ubuntu Server - Added by Jason Bowman almost 9 years ago

Thank you for the quick turn-around!!!

Can confirm that the configure process worked. Been up all night, so can’t test it fully right now. Will look at it tomorrow sometime.

RE: Issues installing OpenProject on Ubuntu Server - Added by Andreas Metag almost 9 years ago
