Hi,

the installer is bitchy. i use 20.04.000.043.

During installation of the modules, the installer complains that the backend is not installed. And asks me to install it.
Next the installer downloads the backend module and fails during installation.

The installer complains that he can´t stop the backend at all.

Cannot stop backend

How can the installer stop a backend that is not installed at all ?!? :lol:
The installer should detect that the backend isn´t installed and not only try to stop it.

I think the installer is fine if you do a upgrade installation.
But it´s not fine for a clean installation at all.

I tried to use the 20.04 OVA but it´s still not available.

So has ANYONE been able to get this installed using the PDF install document ?

I was able to …

Download the OVA 19.10.000.133 today, compiled Pyhton 3.8 and upgraded to 20.04.
So, the upgrade worked with a running 19.10.000.133

And, i was once able to install 20.04 these days from Scratch, but not reproducible

Maybe my Compile Script will help….

This worked for me … (with CentOS 7)

Do all configuration as root , don´t believe the installer asking for a Restart of OpenEMM Server ..
So if it asks for restarting Services, don´t do it …

Just Keep going and ignore the Errors the installer Shows up…
At the end it´s fine.

I think the Admin Guide gives an idea what to do :roll:

next will be APR and https on my list % if all works…
Again with 19.10 and a Migration ...

I Keep my documentation simple …

Hi Adam,

you could try with a CentOS 7 installed from Scratch and use/follow my very basic install script.
This script install 99% of the basic settings to get OpenEMM running.
Still some postfix tasks are not included and OpenEMM Config must be done manually.
You need to generate the emm-master password and change the setting for productions.

This script will only install a working system.

Code: Select all

# Before using / starting this script
# Install a minimal CentOs from CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-2003.iso
# Transfer openemm-runtime-20.*.tar.gz to /home/tmp
# Modify passwords used in this script

# Script Starts here ...
# Passwords used are here ...
Password_OpenEMM=oeP@ssW0rd
Password_MariaDB=maP@ssW0rd

# Verifiy if cron is running
su - root -c "service crond status;exit"

su - root -c "sed -i 's/SELINUX=enforcing/SELINUX=disabled/g' /etc/selinux/config"

# Modify for SSH Slow Login or Filezilla slow
# In your /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the remote server you should change the option GSSAPIAuthentication to no
# You can amend the sshd_config file to use the UseDNS no parameter. This will stop the reverse DNS lookup. It is safe to do.

Hi,
could you try with a Hyper-V/VM/VirtualBox Installation with the CentOS 7 iso?
What is you CentOS VPS based on?

I use a english CentOs with only German Keyboard...

I had this sometimes, that a restart of the sevice Fails, so once i did a full Restart of CentOs, OpenEMM was fine…

(currently testing with centos 8 …, Nothing to do today :wink: )

Hiya

It’s a KVM vps with time4vps just built from scratch centos image.

I’ve restarted the entire server too.

Just none of it makes any sense.

I had a typo in my Pyhton 3.8 compilation…

yum -y install wget gcc gcc-c++ bzip2-devel
yum -y install gdbm-devel libgcrypt-devel libffi-devel libxml2-devel ncurses-devel
yum -y install openssl-devel readline-devel sqlite-devel zlib-devel xz xz-devel

the hyphen was missing, but i had no Problem.

Why do you use Java 11 and Maria 5.5.65 and old OpenEMM db structure?
This seems no part of my script.
