Hi, on my Debian GNU/Linux unstable (sid) Desktop machine I want to install Mahara ( https://mahara.org/ ) from source: https://launchpad.net/mahara/1.8/1.8.1/+download/mahara-1.8.1.tar.gz
I'm trying to follow this tutorial: https://wiki.mahara.org/index.php/System_Administrator%27s_Guide/Installing_Mahara/How_to_install_Mahara_in_Ubuntu but I want to do it in a little different way: 1. I have installed all dependencies. 2. I have unpacked mahara/htdocs/ directory that I did copy to: /usr/share/mahara/htdocs/ The permissions of this directory and subdirectories, files are: $ ls -l /usr/share/mahara/ total 84 -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 35147 Dec 17 23:57 COPYING -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 32103 Dec 17 23:57 ChangeLog -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 2415 Dec 17 23:57 Makefile -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 3652 Dec 17 23:57 README drwxrwxr-x 26 root root 4096 Jan 10 21:49 htdocs -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 561 Dec 17 23:57 phpunit.xml 3. make the mahara directory here: /var/lib/mahara/ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/lib/mahara/ 4. Configure the Database: sudo su - postgres createuser -SRDP mahara [password] [confirm password] createdb -O mahara -EUTF8 mahara exit 5. Configure Apache2: This want I edit so so it should correspond to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/moodle.conf because it doesn't uses Virtualhost, but Aliase and I want not to use Virtualhost on my Apache2 server. So, in moodle.conf I have following: <code> Alias /moodle /usr/share/moodle/ <Directory /usr/share/moodle/> Options +FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None order deny,allow deny from all allow from 127.0.0.0/8 allow from localhost <IfModule mod_php5.c> php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off php_flag magic_quotes_runtime Off php_flag file_uploads On php_flag session.auto_start Off php_flag session.bug_compat_warn Off php_value upload_max_filesize 2M php_value post_max_size 2M </IfModule> <IfModule mod_dir.c> DirectoryIndex index.php </IfModule> </Directory> </code> So, I edited the mahara.conf like: sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/mahara.conf <code> Alias /mahara /usr/share/mahara/htdocs/ <Directory /usr/share/mahara/htdocs/> Options +FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None order deny,allow deny from all allow from 127.0.0.0/8 allow from localhost </Directory> </code> sudo a2ensite mahara.conf 6. Mahara Configuration cd /usr/share/mahara/htdocs/ sudo cp config-dist.php config.php sudo nano config.php <code> $cfg = new stdClass(); $cfg->dbtype = 'postgres'; $cfg->dbhost = 'localhost'; $cfg->dbport = null; $cfg->dbname = 'mahara'; $cfg->dbuser = 'mahara'; $cfg->dbpass = 'SecretPassword'; $cfg->dbprefix = ''; $cfg = new stdClass(); $cfg->wwwroot = 'http://localhost/mahara/'; $cfg->dataroot = '/var/lib/mahara'; $cfg->directorypermissions = 0750; $cfg->emailcontact = ''; $cfg->passwordsaltalt1 = 'old salt value'; </code> sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart Now, when I open in my Internet Browser site: http://localhost/mahara/ I get error messages: [WAR] f0 Creating default object from empty value Call stack (most recent first): log_message("Creating default object from empty value", 8, true, true, "/usr/share/mahara/htdocs/config.php", 32) at /usr/share/mahara/htdocs/lib/errors.php:430 error(2, "Creating default object from empty value", "/usr/share/mahara/htdocs/config.php", 32, array(size 11)) at /usr/share/mahara/htdocs/config.php:32 require("/usr/share/mahara/htdocs/config.php") at /usr/share/mahara/htdocs/init.php:69 require("/usr/share/mahara/htdocs/init.php") at /usr/share/mahara/htdocs/index.php:16 Mahara: Site unavailable Your server configuration references an unknown database type. Valid values are "postgres" and "mysql". Please change the database type setting in config.php. As one can see, I have already "postgres" in the config.php file.
