Problem installing

Hello

I am testing this for the first time. I tried the command line interface route.

my system is a fedora 5 test box. I followed the screen options and entered the values requested. But here is what I got:

Setup is now ready to begin installing BitNami Moodle Stack on your computer.

Do you want to continue? [Y/n]: Y

Please wait while Setup installs BitNami Moodle Stack on your computer.

I pressed Enter and I got my root prompt.

Tried to start the environment:

Apparently mysql and apache can not be started.

Please advise.

It seems there is an issue with root installation in your machine. Either the user ‘nobody’ or the group ‘nogroup’ does not exist. We will look into fixing this. In the mean time, could you try reinstalling as a regular user?

Hello Daniel,

Thank you for your reply.

Fedora does not have nobody.nogroup. it uses apache user instead.

However, I did as you suggested and installed as a regular user. Here is what I got:

I have a similar issue – fedora Core 7. Here is the apache error log

H dfriestetdt,

Did you get any error during the installation? It seems that it didn’t do some substitutions in the static html page. Do Apache and MySQL work correctly? Can you access the application at http://localhost/mediawiki ?

Cheers

Here is the exact error I get at the end of the install

Error. There has been an error
Error running /home/wiki/media…./ctlscript.sh restart apache :
/usr/sbin/setenforce: SElinux is disabled
Syntax OK
Syntax OK
/usr/sbin/setenforce: SElinux is disabled

Any ideas – again, this is Fedora Core 7. I get the same message if I install as the root or normal user.

thx,
Drew

I also forgot to mention, this is for Mediawiki. Sorry, I probably should have created a new post for this.

thx

Apache is not working after the install. This install was with SELinux turned off. Maybe the installer is trying to turn SELinux off, but it’s already off, which creates the error message. That seems too simple. Regardless, when I go to the mediawiki page it gives me page with a bunch of @@ signs.

Mmmm I’ll have to make some testings in Fedora Core. Unfortunately, I won’t be able until next monday. I’ll get back to you then.

Cheers

I installed the mediawiki on a clean Fedora Core 7 w/ SELinux enabled and got the same error message. So, looks like I can duplicate the error message as root or other user and with and without SELinux enabled.

Hi dfriestedt,

We think we’ve found the cause of the problem, the next release will fix it. Meanwhile you can try to install this release candidate if you want: http://bitnami.org/files/stacks/mediawiki/bitnami-mediawiki-1.11.0-10-linux-installer-fedora-fix.bin Let us know it works for you.

regards Manuel
