Topic: Redmine / change default apache port

Hi,

It is quite difficult in trouble-shooting a web site. Only a particular combination will work. Currently, I have two installations of lamp in a machine running fedora 15. One installed with root is working fine as a service. I have not tested the non-root again so I cannot make a final conclusion. It seems I can install the service.

I have not tested all RedHat-like distribution but I find out that the command for the deletion of the service suggested in the wiki does not work in fedora 15. Fedora 15 only uses —del instead of —delete in the wiki.

My boardband service provider has blocked the port 80 so I need to perform port forwarding in the router. However, it seems it works for normal wordpress but fails in MU wordpress. It seems to be a very complicated issue so I have to give it up at this moment.

Thanks for your advices.

Topic: Redmine / change default apache port

Hi,

I am doing the last step of my installion – to start automatically the Stack on Linux. I follow the installation you mentioned in the wiki.

RedHat-like distribution (Red Hat, Fedora Core, CentOS, Suse, etc)

1. Copy the installdir/ctlscript.sh file to /etc/init.d . It is advisable to rename this script to something more specific, like “bitnami-drupal”.
$ sudo cp ${installdir}/ctlscript.sh /etc/init.d/bitnami-drupal

2. You have to modify the script a little bit to make it work at boot time. Just add the following lines at the beginning of the file
#!/bin/sh
#

1. chkconfig: 2345 80 30
2. description: BitNami Service

This means that the script will be executed in runlevels 2, 3, 4 and 5, with priority 80 to start, and 30 to stop.

3. Now, you only need chkconfig to install the script as a service.
$ sudo chkconfig —add bitnami-drupa

But it does not work. I still need to manually start up the services. I have tried to install the script several times using su root or just sudo in a normal user account. Any further advice? I am using fedora 15.

Topic: Redmine / change default apache port

Hi, I have tried another installation using the normal user account instead of the root. I get this message when I install the LAMP and the wordpress module:
which: no gnome-default-applications-properties in (/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/home/fedorauser/bin)

In this case, no link to wordpress is appeared under the application tab but I can access the wordpress site with the normal path (/wordpress). Although it seems it is only a minor issue, I have no problem in using the wordpress site and I have already automatically updated it version 3.2. Maybe you can refine the code in the next release to cater for those fedora users.

Thanks for your advice.

Topic: Redmine / change default apache port

Hi, I have problems in using port 80. It seems the management console of my router also using port 80. I have difficulties in this issue and even if I change the router software to the dd-wrt, it still has the same conflict of port number. So I follow your advice to change the port from 80 to 9080. I can display the front bitnami page but I cannot access the second page of the wordpress. Do I need to change the configuration files of wordpress?

The package I am using WordPress 3.1.4-0 stack in Fedora 15.

Thanks.

Hi,

I think there is a size limit of the attachment so only one error report is attached.

Hi, I find the error log.

The wampMySQL is not started. I shall post the /mysql/data/mysqld.log if I can find it.

Topic: WAMPStack / MySql Error after install

I have installed a copy of WAMP 1.2.1 in Microsoft VirtualPC. It is found whenever the system want to start the MySQL. The system will show a message mysqld.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. As a result, when I try to install Wordpress, it cannot find the database system. Any similar experience?
(I have posted this message in the wrong forum so I put in here again.)

Topic: WordPress / Running Wordpress 3.0 Multisite

Hi,

Thanks for all your advices.

It seems it is somewhat complicated to proceed on the installation of the WordPress Multisite using the Virtual Appliance. I am looking for another approach. I have a machine which is using Ubuntu 10.4 netbook version. If I want to use Bitnami LAMP, how can I change the default port 8080 to port 80 because WordPress Multisite can only install on port 80? What is the best installation procedure of LAMP under this requirement?

Topic: WordPress / Running Wordpress 3.0 Multisite

Hi,

The current permission of htdocs is:
drwxr-xrwx 5 daemon root

Is it right?

Topic: WordPress / Running Wordpress 3.0 Multisite

Hi,

Here are the access.log and the error.log. I guess the problem may be originated from the .htaccess. Do you think I put a .htaccess in the htdocs under the wordpress folder will have the necessary effect required by the Wordpress MU?

Topic: WordPress / Running Wordpress 3.0 Multisite

Hi,

I have tried to use the virtual appliances to build the wordpress multisite which use the default port 80. Although it seems all procedures are properly set up, I find out that the new sites can only exist in the database of the stack, there is no actual creation of new subdirectory so that other user can put in their stuff. So when I try to access the new site, it only gives me the http 404 error.

Any other people faces the similar problem?

Thanks.

Your advice works properly.

Topic: Virtual Appliances / Wordpress Networking

Hi,

Although I successfully disable the updateip process, I still get a message of Failed Services in running Level 3. It also mentions that updateip is fail. I just put a # in the last line of the updateip script and rename the original script to updateip_old under the /etc/init.d. Is this a proper procedure?

Topic: Virtual Appliances / Wordpress Networking

Hi,

I overlook the script of updateip and now I am able to remove the update ip process.

Topic: Virtual Appliances / Wordpress Networking

Hi,

I have similar problem but I have not figured your solution so I need some more advice.

I am using Wordpress 3.0 under VirtualBox. It seems only Opensuse Version is working. Instead of using the internal IP it captures during the boot time. I have tried to change the IP to the DNS name AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD. It seems OK and every links of the Wordpress pages have been changed. However, when the virtual machine is re-booted, it gets the internal IP again.

My question is where you put your the /etc/init.d/update script so that I can remove the update action.

Topic: WordPress / Running Wordpress 3.0 Multisite

Hi,

I have the same problem. Due to the privilege of the normal admin group account in Mac OSx, I cannot change the listen port from 8080 to 80 in the httpd.conf. Can you advice me what changes I need to do? Do I really need to create a root user in Mac?

I am still using MAMP 1.1.2. How can I upgrade to the current version of 1.2.1?

Any easy procedures?

Topic: WAMPStack / mysqld problem

Hi, I have mounted the virtual hard disk using Sun Virtual Box and it works now. It seems MYSQL is not compatitable with Microsoft Virtual PC. Maybe both MYSQL and Virtual Box are products of Sun so the compatibility problem has been solved.

Beltran,

Thank you. After I have changed the ownership on your advice, I successfully upgrade the wordpress and install plug-in.

Hi, I am using the Microsoft Virtual PC in this test. I have also installed the Sun VirtualBox so I shall try it again in this platform.

Topic: WAMPStack / mysqld problem

Hi,

I get the following message in the log file.

key_buffer_size=16777216
read_buffer_size=262144
max_used_connections=0
max_threads=151
threads_connected=0
It is possible that mysqld could use up to
key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_threads = 133305 K
bytes of memory
Hope that’s ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.

thd: 0×0
Attempting backtrace. You can use the following information to find out
where mysqld died. If you see no messages after this, something went
terribly wrong…
006B8853 mysqld.exe!???
The manual page at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/crashing.html contains
information that should help you find out what is causing the crash.
091025 14:24:17 – mysqld got exception 0xc0000005 ;
This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary
or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built,
or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware.
We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help diagnose
the problem, but since we have already crashed, something is definitely wrong
and this may fail.

I have also tried to install the service manually and it also failed.

Topic: Virtual Appliances / Asking for "connection information"

I notice there is a difference in the apache process between Virtual Appliances and MAMP. The apache process is started by user DAEMON while MAMP is by the owner who installed the Bitnami stack. Can I start up the bitnami process in the Virtual Appliances by the root who is also the owner of those files?

Topic: WAMPStack / mysqld problem

I get this message whenever I start the Bitnami WAMP services.

mysqld.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Because of this, I cannot install wordpress which requires the connection of the MySql.

Do you have similar problem? I uses the lastest bitnami WAMP stack with Windows XP SP3

Topic: Virtual Appliances / Asking for "connection information"

I receive a dialog box asking for “connection information” when I want to add plugin to the wordpress Virtual Appliances.

In the documentation for wordpress, the following information is provided:

“Note that your files all need to be owned by the user under which your Apache server executes, or you will receive a dialog box asking for “connection information,” and you will find that no matter what you enter, it won’t work.

If the automatic upgrade doesn’t work for you, don’t panic, just try a manual upgrade."

It seems that I need to change some settings of apache server or the owner of wordpress files.

Please advise.

Topic: MAMPStack / PHP extension mysqli

Hi, thanks for your effort.

I have used the same port configuration. I shall try the test again to see what the problem lies.

Topic: MAMPStack / PHP extension mysqli

Hi, Victoria,

I have tried your solution but it fails.

Let me clarify which steps I peform:

1. Rename the current working MAMPStack to a backup name.
2. Install the new version of MAMPStack into the same directory of the original MAMPStack.
3. Copy the /apache2/conf/httpd.conf from the old MAMPStack to the new MAMpStack.
4. Copy the Wordpress and the Joomla from the old APPS to the new APPS of the new MAMPStack.
5. Copy all the old databases(bitnami_joomla, bitnami_wordpress), MySQL and some other personal databases under ole MAMP to the new MAMP
6. Restart the system and try to connect to the Wordpress website but it only ask me to perform the installation. Joomla is in the state of the beginning with no user information.

Any suggestion?
