Topic: General / Problems logging into bitnami forums

Hi pizzwah,

We have reset “smorloc” password, you should receive an email with subject “[BitNami.org] Your account password has been reset” that includes your new credentials.

The account was never activated and that was the reason why you were not able to reset your password.

Please let us know if you don’t get the email or you are not able to login.

Topic: Cloud (Amazon AWS & BitNami Cloud Hosting) / Slow Wordpress EC2

Hi,

Micro instance is usually enough for hosting Wordpress application. However, it may have load problems from time to time. You may try resizing your instance to “small”:

• Stop the instance

• Change the instance type. If you have ec2 tools already configured, you can do this runnning:
  

  ec2-modify-instance-attribute i-xxxxxxxx --instance-type m1.small

• Start the instance

I hope it helps

Topic: SugarCRM / Username/Password combo doesn't work

Hi,

The default login to the machine is different from the application credentials. You should use:

  user: "bitnami" 
  pass: "bitnami"

And you will be asked to change it on first login, as it is described here in “How to log into the BitNami Virtual Machine?”

I hope it helps

Topic: Cloud (Amazon AWS & BitNami Cloud Hosting) / phpmyadmin 404

Hi,

phpMyAdmin is only accessible from the instance itself, that is why the link points to localhost.

This post may be useful for you: http://bitnami.org/forums/forums/bitnami-cloud/…

Topic: Redmine / Lost Redmine adminstrator password

Hi,

You may be able to reset the password from rails console.

First open a terminal and load the stack environment. If you are in Windows you can use the shortcut “use redmine” in start menu. If you are on Linux/Mac open a terminal and run:

$ cd ${installdir}
$ ./use_redmine

Then, open rails console by running:

$ cd ${installdir}/apps/redmine
$ ruby script/console production

Once in the console, just run the following Ruby code:

>> u = User.first
>> u.password = u.password_confirmation = "newpassword"
>> u.save
>> exit

After running this you should be able to login with “newpassword”

I hope it helps

Topic: WordPress / UNABLE TO CONNECT ?

Hi,

A terminal is an application which allows you to execute orders. Basically you write what you want to do and when you click “intro” key it gets executed.

To start the server you only need to:

• open the terminal application

• write the following (changing 3.0.3-0 to the version you have in case it is different)

/Applications/wordpress-3.0.3-0/ctlscript.sh start

• and click intro key

I hope it helps

Hi mauradillon,

Which platform are you using Windows, Linux, Mac?

Topic: WordPress / How do I log into phpmyadmin?

I have replied here

Topic: Cloud (Amazon AWS & BitNami Cloud Hosting) / Can't Access PHPMyAdmin

Hi,

Most of the configuration steps are applicable on both virtual machines and ec2 images because the file structure is similar.

By default phpMyAdmin is restricted to localhost. If you want it to be accessible from anywhere you should follow the steps described in “How to enable phpMyAdmin or phpPgAdmin?” in virtual machines FAQ:

• SSH to the instance

• Replace the line “Allow from 127.0.0.1” with “Allow from all” in the file /opt/bitnami/apps/phpmyadmin/conf/phpmyadmin.conf

• Restart apache:

sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart apache

• You can access the phpMyAdmin at http://<public_dns>/phpmyadmin

Alternatively, if you want to keep it only accessible from localhost. You should create a SSH tunnel to the port 80 instead. This can be done as follows in Unix systems:

ssh -i <path_to_private_key> -N -L 8888:127.0.0.1:80 <public_dns>

or with Putty on Windows using source port 8888 and destination 127.0.0.1:80.

Once done it will be accessible at http://localhost:8888/phpmyadmin while the tunnel is opened.

I hope it helps

Topic: Subversion / Server Socket

Hi,

You can change the port where SVN is listening changing the ‘—listen-port’ option in start up scripts.

On Unix systems, replace the value 3690 inside ${installdir}/subversion/scripts/ctl.sh:

SVN_START="${installdir}/subversion/bin/svnserve -d -r /home/carlos/subversion-1.6.12-0/repository --listen-port=3690 --pid-file=$SVN_PIDFILE"

and then restart the server running:

${installdir}/ctlscript.sh restart subversion

On Windows, you need to change the value in this line inside ${installdir}\subversion\scripts\serviceinstall.bat:

"${installdir}\scripts\winserv.exe" install subversion -diplayname "subversion" -start auto "${installdir}\subversion\bin\svnserve.exe" -d --listen-port=3690

and then reinstall the service. You can do this using the script from the command line:

> ${installdir}\subversion\scripts\serviceinstall.bat REMOVE
> ${installdir}\subversion\scripts\serviceinstall.bat INSTALL

Topic: Cloud (Amazon AWS & BitNami Cloud Hosting) / Change to 'root' user in current session of WinSCP?

Hi Dave,

Login as ‘root’ user directly is disabled in our images. You may try one of the following:

• Follow the steps described here to use sudo on login: http://winscp.net/eng/docs/faq_su#use_sudo_on_l…

• Or, in case the previous doesn’t work, alter file permissions so you are able to modify the files you are interested in as ‘bitnami’ user. For example, if you want to be able to modify files in /opt/bitnami/apache2/htdocs you can run the following from command line:

chown bitnami -R /opt/bitnami/apache2/htdocs

Let us know if it works for you

Topic: WordPress / Just starting with bitnami and w.p.

Hi LG,

Your IP or domain is required by Wordpress application in order to fetch the resources from the appropriate machine. By default it is configured with your local IP so you can use the application in your local network. It is safe to leave that value.

In case you want to make the stack available outside your local network, you should replace that value with your public ip or your domain. This article may be useful for you http://bitnami.org/article/how-to-install-and-m…

Topic: LAMPStack / LAMPStack installation in Fedora 14

Hi,

Could you give us more details about what kind of errors did you get?

Topic: General / Port

Hi,

You can change the port modifying Apache configuration. Open “${installdir}/apache2/conf/httpd.conf” and edit the numeric value in the line containing “Listen” directive:

Listen 8080

Once changed, restart apache using shortcuts in Windows or running this on Unix systems:

${installdir}/ctlscript.sh restart apache

Topic: WAMPStack / Shared Host IP with Bitnami WAMP Stack and Multiple App Modules.

You may try something like this for each module.

Adding something similar to this in httpd.conf:

RewriteEngine On 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^wordpress\.mycompany\.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/wordpress/ 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /wordpress$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^phpbb\.mycompany\.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/phpbb/ 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /phpbb$1 [R=301,L]

Hi Roberto,

Which version are you interested in? And which platform?

Topic: Cloud (Amazon AWS & BitNami Cloud Hosting) / DNS subdomain to AWS subfolder

Hi dayst,

The easiest way may be adding a rewrite rule in Apache configuration based on hostname. You just need to add these lines at the end of /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/httpd.conf

RewriteEngine On 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^redmine\.mycompany\.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/redmine/ 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /redmine$1 [R=301,L]

Topic: RubyStack & JRubyStack / Error installing sqlite3-ruby

Do you require latest gem version (1.3.1) ?

If it fits your needs, I would recommend using the previous one (1.3.0) which supports the sqlite version included in rubystack 2.1:

$ gem install sqlite3-ruby --version 1.3.0 -- --with-sqlite3-dir=/home/ramya/bloglearn/deployment/rubystack-2.1-0/sqlite

Otherwise you may try to download and compile sqlite manually before installing the gem:

$ mkdir /home/ramya/bloglearn/deployment/rubystack-2.1-0/tmp 
$ cd /home/ramya/bloglearn/deployment/rubystack-2.1-0/tmp
$ wget http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite-amalgamation-3.7.0...
$ tar zxf sqlite-amalgamation-3.7.0.1.tar.gz
$ cd sqlite-3.7.0.1/
$ CFLAGS="-L/home/ramya/bloglearn/deployment/rubystack-2.1-0/common/lib -I/home/ramya/bloglearn/deployment/rubystack-2.1-0/common/include" ./configure --prefix=/home/ramya/bloglearn/deployment/rubystack-2.1-0/sqlite-3.7.0.1 --enable-static=no
$ make 
$ make install 
$ cd ../../
$ mv sqlite sqlite-3.5.1
$ ln -s /home/ramya/bloglearn/deployment/rubystack-2.1-0/sqlite-3.7.0.1 /home/ramya/bloglearn/deployment/rubystack-2.1-0/sqlite
$ /home/ramya/bloglearn/deployment/rubystack-2.1-0/gem install sqlite3-ruby -- --with-sqlite3-dir=/home/ramya/bloglearn/deployment/rubystack-2.1-0/sqlite

Let us know if you find any issues

Topic: RubyStack & JRubyStack / Error installing sqlite3-ruby

Hi,

RubyStack 2.1-0 already includes version 1.2.5 of sqlite3-ruby gem.

In case you need to install a different version, you should specify where sqlite3 files are located:

gem install sqlite3-ruby -- --with-sqlite3-dir=/home/ramya/bloglearn/deployment/rubystack-2.1-0/sqlite

Topic: General / Q:how to install modules that require different stacks?

Hi,

RubyStack supports both PHP and Ruby modules.

If you want to share Apache and MySQL, you should install RubyStack first and then DokuWiki, Redmine or any other BitNami Modules on top of it.

Topic: Tracks / Tracks VMWare stack

Hi,

You can do this modifying apache configuration file: /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/httpd.conf

Just replace the following line with the number where you want Apache to be running

Listen 80

Then, restart the server running:

/opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart apache

You may need to open the new port in the firewall as well. You can follow the steps described in “How to configure the Firewall?” in our FAQ: http://bitnami.org/faq/virtual_machines

Topic: Redmine / how to change path directory for \redmine\files

Hi,

You may try to do it first on a clean installation in a machine with a similar environment. You should first move the folder to the new location and then use mklink to generate the symbolic link.

Depending on your Windows version this command may not work at all, you can find more info here
