Topic: SugarCRM / Setting up for Localhost

This works. I didn’t know the SugarCRM login URL or how to use the computer domain name.

Thanks Antonio.

Topic: General / Installing Tracks but already have MySQL

This was really bizarre. The first time I installed, it did not ask me for a port for MySQL. And it did not detect that port 3306 was already taken. But this time, after uninstalling, the installer did ask for a port. I tried 3306, thinking that I could use my existing MySQL. But it told me that 3306 was taken, so I told it to use 3307. The entire installation completed successfully.

Why did the installer skip the whole MySQL port issue the first time around???

Topic: General / Installing Tracks but already have MySQL

If you already have MySQL installed and running as a service, what is the proper way to install Tracks? I tried, not realizing that the login was going to try to access my existing MySQL service, and it failed to connect to the database, of course. I am uninstalling and will try to put my database credentials into the installer.

What is the proper approach for this situation?

A couple of random observations:

The Tracks forum gives an HTTP 500 error.
The Tracks installer is AMAZINGLY slow. I’ve never seen an install take so long before. Is that normal?

Thanks!

Topic: Stacks suggestions / Shibboleth option for all stacks

Packaging an identity management system like Shibboleth might be hard in and of itself. But adding Shib hooks into your per-pacakged stacks would cause their adoption in many educational institutions where Shibboleth authentication is implemented to skyrocket, or at least to jump dramatically!

Topic: SugarCRM / Setting up for Localhost

Hi pypo,

127.0.0.1 is the loopback address by default, you shouldn’t need to configure anything. After the installation, SugarCRM application should be available at the following four addresses:

http://localhost/sugarcrm
http://127.0.0.1/sugarcrm
http://<your_local_area_network_ip>/sugarcrm
http://<your_computer_domain_name>/sugarcrm

For more info on the subject, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/127.0.0.1

Isn’t it working? Also, are you able to navigate through the BitNami local site? (it is just a simple html page)

Cheers

Topic: SugarCRM / Setting up for Localhost

I’m using XP. How do I get the laptop name or 127.0.0.1 to point to localhost? After that, where do I point the browser for SugarCRM?

Thanks.

Topic: SugarCRM / Setting up for Localhost

Hi pypo,

What operating system are you using? Using your laptop name or 127.0.0.1 makes no difference, as both addresses point to your local host. On Windows, the web and database servers should be running after rebooting the computer, but they still can be launched from the proper entry in the Start Menu. On Unix systems (such as Linux, OS X and Solaris), you can start the servers by entering a terminal, moving to the installation directory and typing

./ctlscript.sh start

Cheers

Topic: SugarCRM / Setting up for Localhost

I installed SugarCRM and tried to launch it but the URL was wrong. The URL showed my laptop name followed by something (gone now so I can’t attach and I don’t know how to restart).

I would like to run the stack using http://127.0.0.1/ [something] but I don’t a) know where to configure those settings and b) don’t know what the [something] should be for SugarCRM.

I have already successfully done this before with the Wordpress stack from Bitnami (thank you very much). That Wordpress stack is not presently installed, so its not the problem.

Thanks !

Topic: KnowledgeTree / document store and data

Hi again,

Adam from KnowledgeTree was kind enough to have a look to the thread and answer both of us. I paste his words below:

Metadata and version history are stored directly in the database. Documents by default are stored in “<knowledgetree directory install>/documents”, however, this can be changed by editing the “config.ini” file:
1. Open the following file in a text editor <knowledgetree directory install>\config.ini
2. Locate the following line and change the directory to your preferred path:
documentRoot = C:/Program Files/ktdms/Documents
3. Save the file.

Thanks again Adam!

Topic: Stacks suggestions / Pandora FMS

From their web site http://pandorafms.org/index.php?lang=en

Pandora FMS is a monitoring application to watch systems and applications. Pandora FMS allows to know the status of any element of your bussiness systems. Pandora FMS watches your hardware, your software, your multilayer system and, of course, your Operating System. Pandora FMS can detect a network interface down or the movement of any NASDAQ new technology market value. If you wish, Pandora FMS can send a SMS message when your system or your application fails… or when Google stock value drops below 330 US$.

its documentation is a little suspect and looks pretty hard to install on windows, they have a VMware image to help ease the setup. but not everyone wants to rnu the VMware stack to use this thing. really nice systems though. I bet you guys could make the install straight forward and bullet proof.

Topic: Trac / Update to SVN

Hi Jonathan,

We haven’t updated any of our Subversion related stacks yet, but once we upgrade the component, all the stacks will be rebuilt and released.

Cheers

Topic: General / BitNami + Tracks + SQLite

Hi,

I don’t know how you can do it in a “very easy” way. You will need to download and install SQLite on both systems, and probably also install sqlite gem for Ruby. To do the later, you can type from the installation folder

gem install sqlite3

after having loaded the environment variables (by executing a file called ‘use_tracks’).

Cheers

Topic: Trac / Update to SVN

Hi

Are there any plans to upgrade to the newer version of SVN anytime soon? The version bundled with Trac is still from
the 1.4 release range.

Thanks for all the hard work that has been put into these products.

Regards,
Jonathan

Topic: DjangoStack / how do i start a new project in mac os x 10.4?

Hi geezer,

It is not necessary to type the whole pwd to django-admin.py. Try to execute the following:

bash# ./use_djangostack
bash# django-admin.py startproject thissite

It is necessary to specify the whole pwd because the “python” command needs a file argument.

About your second question, you can follow these steps to install modules over DjangoStack:

1. Download and extract the pycrypto module.
2. Execute:
bash# ./use_dangostack
bash# cd pycrypto-2.0.1
bash# python setup.py build

Tip: If you see the following error:
>/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpython2.5
>collect2: ld devolvió el estado de salida 1
>error: command ‘gcc’ failed with exit status 1
It is necessary to set the LDFLAGS tag to compile. Try to export this variable before to compile:
bash# ./use_djangostack
bash# export LDFLAGS=/Applications/djangostack-1.0-6/python/lib
bash# python setup.py build

3. Finally run the install script:
bash# python setup.py install

I hope it helps you!

Topic: MAMPStack / ctlscript.sh in Terminal?

Hi bitnewbee,

On Unix systems (like OS X and Linux), to execute a file you have to use either an absolute or relative path. If you try to execute the control script by just typing

ctlscript.sh start

as you did, the operating system is looking for it in the folders that are defined in the PATH environment variable. To prevent it, you just call it using a relative path, ie, if you are in the very same directory in which the script is located (<installdir>/scripts), you need to call it by

./ctlscript.sh

as the dot is a symbol meaning “current directory”.

About the README.txt issue, that is likely to be a problem of not having updated the documentation accordingly, as that was changed a long time ago, thanks for reporting.

Don’t hesitate to post if you need more help, we’ll be glad to be useful :)

Cheers

Topic: MAMPStack / ctlscript.sh in Terminal?

Hi All,

True to my name sake, I am a TOTAL newbie; I do want to learn, and firmly believe in RTFM. But, after reading the mampstack.pdf I am not clear as to where to “RUN” the ctlscript.sh. I opened the “use_mampstack” Terminal in the “mampstack-1.0-beta-4” directory and get the following:

Last login: Sat Oct 11 21:51:02 on ttys000
/Applications/mampstack-1.0-beta-4/use_mampstack ; exit;
BigMac:~ home$ /Applications/mampstack-1.0-beta-4/use_mampstack ; exit;
bash-3.2$

Then I type or paste:

$ /Applications/mampstack-1.0-beta-4/ctlscript.sh start apache (I also only type “ctlscript.sh”) and get the following:

bash-3.2$ ctlscript.sh start apache
bash: ctlscript.sh: command not found

If I add “Sudo” or “root” I get the same thing (except it warns me about not using “Sudo” properly) . Luckily, I am using the BitNami Control Panel to start and stop these services; but, I am more concerned that either this is a “USER ERROR” or I am missing something here.

Also, I could not find the MAMPctl.sh utility: mentioned in the “Readme.txt” file…

Any thoughts or input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Newbee in training

Topic: DjangoStack / how do i start a new project in mac os x 10.4?

hi, i would like to install the satchmo webshop on my mac os x 10.4, and use the djangostack for this, but satchmo has some requirements listed here: http://www.satchmoproject.com/docs/svn/requirements.html. I was wondering if the python that comes with the djangostack has the python source libraries with it?,

also, if i were to install python packages such as: pycrypto-2.0.1.tar.gz, how and where in the djangostack would i install them?

thanks.

Topic: DjangoStack / how do i start a new project in mac os x 10.4?

hi, this works though:

bash-2.05b# ./use_djangostack
bash-2.05b# python /Applications/djangostack-1.0-6/apps/django/bin/django-admin.py startproject thissite
bash-2.05b#

but why do i have to type the whole pwd to django-admin.py?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Topic: DjangoStack / how do i start a new project in mac os x 10.4?

hi, still having errors:

bash-2.05b# ./use_djangostack
bash-2.05b# django-admin.py startproject thisite
from: can’t read /var/mail/django.core
/Applications/djangostack-1.0-6/apps/django/bin/django-admin.py: line 6: syntax error: unexpected end of file

any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Topic: DjangoStack / how do i start a new project in mac os x 10.4?

Hi,

Sorry, it is more easy if you type “django-admin.py” directly without the “python” command:

bq.bash-2.05b# ./user_djangostack
bash-2.05b# django-admin.py startproject thissite

Cheers.

Topic: DjangoStack / how do i start a new project in mac os x 10.4?

hi, i have tried this and, now a new error happens:
bash-2.05b# ./use_djangostack
bash-2.05b# python django-admin.py startproject thissite
/Applications/djangostack-1.0-6/python/bin/.python.bin: can’t open file ‘django-admin.py’: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Topic: DjangoStack / how do i start a new project in mac os x 10.4?

Hi geezer,

It seems that you are using the python installed on your system instead of the Django Stack python. To execute any Stack binary (python, mysql, sqlite, etc) it is necessary to start the “django console” before to start the command. For example, try the following in your terminal:

$ cd /Applications/djangostack-1.0.6
$ ./use_djangostack
$ python django-admin.py startproject thissite

I hope it helps you.

Topic: General / BitNami + Tracks + SQLite

Hi,

I installed Tracks under Windows using BitNami without any problems. However I’d like to switch Tracks to using the SQLite database, rather than the default MySQL (in an attempt to share the Tracks DB between Windows and Linux on a dual boot machine). The problem is that the BitNami stack for Tracks does not include SQLite it seems. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Thanks,

Dave.

Topic: Drupal / I can't enter into Admin page!

Hi,

Sorry but we can not reproduce your issue. Could you post the apache log error that you can find at <installation_directory>/apache2/logs/

Thanks for reporting it.

Topic: WAPPStack / gd library not install!

Hi,

I have just checked that WAPPStack has Gd installed and enabled. You can check the enable modules writing this script:

<?php
phpinfo();
phpinfo(INFO_MODULES);
?>

Could you search in the Apache logs if there are more errors?
