Hi Nuno,

the command

su openproject -c "bash -l" 

opens a new shell scoped to the rights of the user openproject. This helps to prevent file permission issues that are probably hard to find. So the next step for you is to find an appropriate directory for OpenProject (for instance the home directory ~ like in the HowTo).

I hope that information helps you to get around the next tasks.

Kind regards,
Hagen

Hi and thanks for replying. I have 3 questions:

1 - How the hell did you insert a code box!!! I can’t see it anywhere in the options ribbon :)
2 - You mean I can just skip over su openproject -c “bash -l” ?
3 - If I use the default folder as per the tutorial, will OpenProject be installed to that directory or will it create a sub-directory named OpenProject. I am not too fond of having things all over the base dirs and rather like everything in neatly organized sub-folders :P

Hi Nuno,

1. it is just the pre-tag (see pre in the toolbar).
2. I guess you should not skip that step as it saves you from debugging permission issues.
3. in any case (but I would recommend the home dir of the openproject user as in the how-to) there will be a separate sub-folder openproject.

Kind regards,
Hagen

Ok. But in this case I have a problem because every time I run the bash -l it always presents me with the no job control error message. Suggestions?

And btw, thanks for taking the time to reply. I was loosing hope :(

Hi Nuno,

btw. how did you create user openproject? Have you used admin rights (for instance with command sudo)?

Kind regards,
Hagen

I ran

sudo apt-get install mysql-server
sudo apt-get install memcached

followed buy

sudo groupadd openproject
sudo useradd --create-home --gid openproject openproject
sudo passwd openproject # (enter desired password)

I haven’t done anything to mysql other than test if it’s running with

sudo netstat -tap | grep mysql

Also, running

sudo passwd openproject openproject

just presented me with a list of passwd options and did nothing, so i ended up running

sudo passwd openproject

instead and that prompted me for a UNIX password and i gave it (openproject) and then asked me to confirm, so I retyped openproject.

Ok so I think I managed to get past the part where I was stuck, but still I am having a problem now: I think my sql is not correctly configured. Has anyone been able to correctly setup and use OpenProject on Ubuntu running a productive site for just a few (3 maybe 4) users?

Started from scratch using PostgreSQL this time and was able to get to the CREATE ROLE portion, but when running

CREATE ROLE openproject LOGIN ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'my_password' NOINHERIT VALID UNTIL 'infinity';

I am presented with

CREATE: command not found

Ideas?
