Failed on installation

Post by TiAdexMedia »

I try to install OpenEMM 2019 on CentOS 7 in VPS of OVH. I follow all the process of https://wiki.openemm.org/lib/exe/fetch. ... _1.0.3.pdf in combination with this https://wiki.openemm.org/doku.php. When I start OpenEMMInstaller.sh, don't detect the DB.I use MariaDB for DB and SendMail for MTA.

Anyone knows why I have this Error?
Thanks

No problem.

Ok so it looks like you need to set up the database and then install OpenEMM.

Please make sure MariaDB is running before creating the user in the OpenEMMInstaller:
# systemctl status rh-mariadb102-mariadb
If it does not say 'running', please start it and enable it with
# systemctl start rh-mariadb102-mariadb
# systemctl enable rh-mariadb102-mariadb

Also consider running 'mysql_secure_installation' to set a password for the root user and delete sample data.

With the database running you can start OpenEMMInstaller and go to Security -> Change database configuration (dbcfg).
Enter your configuration here and save (You have to change a value to save). After saving you are asked if you want to create a user, write yes and provide your database credentials for user root. The openemm user should be created now.

After successfully creating the user you can install OpenEMM and with that initialize the database.
For this use 4. Install or update package from AGNITAS Website and follow the steps there.
Now all should be installed and you can start configuring OpenEMM in the OpenEMMInstaller and use it afterwards.

I hope this helps.
Please let me know if this works.

Hi,
you should follow my steps above and set up the database properly.
Then make sure to set up the connection in the dbcfg configuration in the OpenEMMInstaller.
OpenEMM will not work if this is not configured properly. After that it will create the database structure for you.

If you want to create the database yourself the sql files are under /home/openemm/webapps/emm/WEB-INF/sql.

Hossa™

I had the problem yesterday with the latest installer too.
The database was set up correctly and the user had full access to the DB.
But he did NOT create the database structure when installing.
There was an error that -p is a wrong argument and therefore the installation of the structure is aborted.
When I then wanted to import the SQL files manually he issued a syntax error at csv_import_tbl and at another table a , was missing.
The last one I could solve by setting the missing one.

In the end the installation didn't work because the database wasn't filled properly.

Currently I have deleted the installation.
I will try again this weekend.
Then collect all error messages and post them here.

Hi,

I get those errors when I select "Show OpenEMM status" from the main menu of the installer:

and when i try to install the frontend from the installer I get this error message:

any idea?

Did you create file dbcfg like desscribed in the OpenEMM wiki? If so, could you post its content here (without your password)?

yes the dbcfg is filled as described below

Current menu: Change database configuration (dbcfg)

Database configuration for openemm:
dbms = mariadb
host = 127.0.0.1
jdbc-connect = jdbc:mariadb://127.0.0.1/openemm?zeroDateTimeBehavior=convertToNull&useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8
jdbc-driver = org.mariadb.jdbc.Driver
name = openemm
password = xxxxxxxxx
user = user

with user have All MySQL privileges .

Hello,

What version of the mysql client software do you use?
Detect it with:
# mysql -V

The parameter -p is used for the password as parameter when calling mysql to execute the fullldb sql script to create the database structure.

Older versions of mysql do not allow this parameter for security reasons and demand password user input via console, which is not supported by our OpenEMMInstaller tool by now.
