I really don’t know where to begin. I have tried installing OP after installing apache and mysql with no luck. I tried purging both servers, including OP, and starting from the beginning with OP first and letting it install Apache and Mysql for me. Again no luck. I can’t find documentation to troubleshoot the installation process.
Here is what I have now:
sudo openproject configure
Launching installer for openproject…

[legacy-installer] ./bin/configure
[mysql] ./bin/configure

Hi Tamir,
you have an active MySQL installation that has the root password set. Your options are:
1.) Do not select the ‘autoinstall MySQL’ option in the OpenProject wizard, but instead select the third option to connect to an existing database. You will have to create your own database and user beforehand.
2.) If you are certain that database was installed only for OpenProject and is currently empty, ensure you purge the database package itself in order to remove its data directory (and root user password):
Best,
Oliver
Thank you very much for responding.
I tried purging and reinstalling but more errors arose that were not understandable so instead of posting them here, I created a new virtual machine to create a totally clean environment. I have downloaded OpenProject and installed it on an empty, yet fully updated, Ubuntu 16.04. I followed the instructions for Ubuntu 16.04 found here:
https://www.openproject.org/download-and-installation/
After installation, as instructed, I launched the configuration process.
When asked if I wanted to install MySql and Apache, I responded with Yes.
Now I am being asked for a FQDN. I don’t want to make a mistake. Please advise. I have a project I would like to manage called berwar and I will be managing this application only from this virtual machine. No other users will log in to this server nor access my virtual machine. This is only for my personal use. could I provide simply “berwar” as the FQDN? Will this work? Will I then simply type “berwar” in my browser to launch the OP installation when finished? I am currently at the step that asks for the FQDN and I will wait for your response to take the next step in my virtual machine…
