install errors on linux server

Post by anwoke8204 »

hi, we are trying to install this on an opensuse server, doing the manual install. we create the database (mysql), and then we go to the installation page http://server/timetrex/interface/install/License.php and we get the following:

1. License Acceptance


The installer has already been run, as a safety measure it has been disabled from running again. If you are absolutely sure you want to run it again, or upgrade your system, please go to your timetrex.ini.php file and set "installer_enabled" to "TRUE". The line should look like:

"installer_enabled = TRUE"

After this change has been made, you can click the "Start" button below to begin your installation. After the installation is complete, you will want to change "installer_enabled" to "FALSE".

For help, please visit www.timetrex.com

Either you modified the wrong timetrex.ini.php file, or you didn't set the proper setting to TRUE.

[debug]
;Set to false if you're debugging
production = False

enable = True
enable_display = True
buffer_output = TRUE
enable_log = FALSE
Try setting production to TRUE and the rest of them to FALSE.

If that doesn't help, we're back to square one, either your modifying the wrong file or TimeTrex can't read it properly, or you have an error in the file itself. You might want to try copying the example timetrex.ini.php again and modifying just the installer_enabled setting and nothing else, to see if that works.

At this stage I'm not sure there is much more I can help you with. TimeTrex is not able to read the timetrex.ini.php file or its settings properly. Its about as simple as that.

The issue is likely outside the control of TimeTrex, as it could be a file system permission setting, it could be a security feature like AppArmor in OpenSuse that is blocking it from being read, or it could in fact be an issue with the timetrex.ini.php file itself, likely a modification that you have or have not made to it correctly. You will need to start digging a lot deeper and checking log files for hints as to what the problem is.

You could also try our automated Linux installer instead to see if that works better for you.

Do not modify any information apart from Underlined in the "timetrex.ini.php" file. Making Changes to database entries is causing the problem.

[path]
;URL to TimeTrex web root directory. ie: http://your.domain.com/<*http://timetrex.local*>
;DO NOT INCLUDE http://your.domain.com, just the directory AFTER your domain
base_url = /timetrex/interface


;Misc storage, for attachments/images

;Linux
storage = /var/www/timetrex/storage
