Fresh Install on Debian 8 from tutorial

questions about php5-mysql package conflict another not found and request to help provide other installation options

I emailed you the info Chris, interested to hear your feedback ...

Yes thanks, got that. I should be able to take a look either later tonight, or tomorrow.

thank you both for your support on this issue. i will continue to work on a debian specific install using http://turnkeylinux.org/lamp  cheers!

http://turnkeylinux.org/lamp used to install compo.sr successfully. Will write up the proceedures as a do it a second time. the following was from the last screen.

The Composr installation log for step 10 is below:

Install log:

Congratulations! Composr is now successfully installed! The final step is to delete this file (install.php) from your server. This prevents other users from running this installation script, which would allow them to delete your database. As a security measure, Composr will not work until you delete install.php from the server. It is also a good idea to change _config.php so it has standard file permissions for a PHP script, to prevent potentially malicious users writing into the file (i.e. remove world/group write access).

If you need to run this installer again, you will need to upload this file again, so you may wish to keep a copy of install.php on your hard drive.

Your Composr is not yet configured, which can be done at any time from the Admin Zone.

Hi,

I never actually got around to looking at this (I got busy), but it looks like you sorted out anyway .

Ashame Chris, I was interested to hear your thoughts on why it wouldnt install on that server instance….  Glad he got it sorted finally anyways. 

Actually, I did NOT get it sorted out. I installed it on Debian. You and I were trying to get it installed using the CentOS tutorial. Chris both of the CentOS vm's are still there so maybe you would have a moment to take a look at it.  I'm also running into some issues not being able to open the adminzone on the debian instances but i'll post something on the other thread.

thank you both for trying to reolve the CentOS issues.

Ok, it's now installed on the CentOS machine.

There were a couple of sticking points.

The first was selinux as I suspected. I have added this to the next documentation update…

You may have selinux installed, you can see if you do with sestatus:

Code

[root@localhost html]# sestatus
SELinux status:                 enabled
SELinuxfs mount:                /sys/fs/selinux
SELinux root directory:         /etc/selinux
Loaded policy name:             targeted
Current mode:                   enforcing
Mode from config file:          enforcing
Policy MLS status:              enabled
Policy deny_unknown status:     allowed
Max kernel policy version:      28


If so, you need to set additional write permissions with something like:
chcon -R -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t /var/www

Then there was a legitimate bug, installation failing when MySQL was set to strict mode by default and the mysqli database driver was used for installation (mysql was fine). I'll fix that in the next RC.

WOW! Thank you Chris,

You are good. i'm headed there now to check it out.
The site came up and as soon as i figure out the user login it should be fine.
Next i want to see if i can replicate it…install it myself from scratch.

thanks again to you and Hardtransit for spending so much time on this. i hope to be able to support cms in the greater los angeles area at some point.

Hrmmm thanks for sharing Chris. It was driving me batty!!
