Missing Install?

Post by Alex »

I was following the install procedure up to "At this point, you should (hopefully) be able to point your browser at
the Zuluru install, <ZULURU>/install" at which point I was not able to find the install folder. Did I missed a step somwhere?

Sounds like this may be a misunderstanding. It's a browser-based installation process, not command line, so there isn't really a "folder" per se. If you've set up your web server so that Zuluru is at http://www.example.com/zuluru, then you would go to http://www.example.com/zuluru/install and it should be self-explanatory from there. If you can't get to that URL, then chances are that you haven't got your web server set up correctly; in that case, the documentation for your web server software and possibly the CakePHP framework will be what you want to look at, as the possible permutations are far too varied for me to try to document.

Not sure if that answers your question?

GregS,

thank you very much for the explanation. It seems that I did not set CakePHP correctly. I will post tan update after I resolve the CakePHP install.

GregS,

I got everything working. Couple of comments:
1. SELinux did put a wrinkle on getting everything working as changing permissions to 777 on a folder did not allowed the httpd process to write to the folder.
2. I had to "hack" the admin password after the install as I was not able to find what is the default admin password.

Thanks again,
Alex

What permission did you need to set to make the folder writable? Might be something to add to the readme file.

Default admin password should just be "password". A future version of the install will let (i.e. force) you to pick something better.

GregS,

I put Zuluru on Fedora 17 distribution. While trying to figure out why I was getting errors from the CakePHP, I tried all possible combinations of the folders owners and permissions. Only then I noticed alerts from SELinux Troubleshooter stating that httpd process is trying to write to the folders. The troubleshooter gave 3 options how to solve the problem. I decided to go with the second option which was to allow the httpd unified mode:
setsebool -P httpd_unified 1
Later I also had to allow httpd process to send email (again the SELinux Troubleshooter gave the suggestion):
setsebool -P httpd_can_sendmail=1
