I real appreciate for any help!

Cache, log, storage directories should be outside of your HTDOC/HTML Root directory, otherwise it poses a security risk. Try setting the cache directory to /tmp/timetrex, and the storage to something like /var/timetrex/storage

Hello Shaunw,

I have changed the cache, logs and storage directories as you advised. The not writable errors to those directories has disappeared. There is one not writable error has remained;

Not writable: /var/www/html/west/classes/modules/install/../../../LICENSE

And other errors:
Invalid, PGSQL or MySQLi PHP extensions are required

Warning: PHP CLI requirements failed while executing
"/usr/bin/php5" "/var/www/html/west/tools/unattended_upgrade.php" --config "/var/www/html/west/includes/../timetrex.ini.php" --requirements_only --web_installer
Likely caused by having two PHP.INI files with different settings.

I have attached the errors print screen
I am installing the Community Version

I appreciate your assistance.

You clearly have incorrect permissions on the files/directories that TimeTrex is installed in.

Hello Shaunw,

I am the only user of this vps server and i have one account which i am using (root).
I uploaded the Timetrex files with Filezila using the root account.

what can i do to give this installation a full permission?

I real appreciate your support

Jubha.

I have resolved the permissions issue, and now have remained one error


Database Engine:
Invalid, PGSQL or MySQLi PHP extensions are required

i attached the error print screen page.

I real appreciate for your support,

Jubha.

i installed with this code:
apt-get install php5-mysqlnd

after server reboot everything marked ok (All System Requirements have been met successfully!)
I will go on with installation now.

Thank you so much for all the support.

Jubha.

While on the way with installation i got an error on maintenance jobs

And after finishing installation i got an error after first login.

I have attached all the print screen to see what happened.

I real appreciate for your support.

Jubha.

Those warning messages you see once logged in are caused by either not going through the Quick Start Wizard fully, or not assigning yourself to a Pay Period Schedule or Policy Group under Employee -> Employees, and Editing your employee record.

Thanks for your reply,

What about the error in maintenance jobs which i encountered while installing?
How can i resolve it?

I have attached its error print screen page.

I appreciate for your support.

Jubha.

Which error message are you referring to specifically?

I posted its printscreen, it appeared while was finishing installation, may be it was not an error?

it says "undefined requires that maintenance jobs be run regularly throughout the day"

"this is extremely important and without these maintenance jobs running undefined will fail to operate correctly"
