Hi I have installed drupal and opigno on ubuntu 14, it was not straight forward and I cannot install modules from a url or file upload (either white screens or come up with ftp not enabled) and also when trying to install any opigno apps I get an AJAX error 500: An AJAX HTTP error occurred. HTTP Result Code: 500 Debugging information follows. Path: /drupal7/?q=batch&render=overlay&id=13&op=do StatusText: Internal Server Error ResponseText: I suspect something is configured wrongly somewhere but not sure where to start looking. Any ideas?

Hi bevangg,

Hi bevangg, What do you mean by "installed drupal and opigno"? Best regards
StephenW

What did you mean?

Hi Bevangg, Opigno is basically Drupal with some additional modules and customizations. So when you install Opigno you are installing Drupal with some extras. Then, when you say that you installed Drupal and Installed Opigno, that would be installing two separate Drupal websites. Is that what you meant to say? Did you install Drupal and Opigno separately? Best Wishes, Stephen

Explanation

Hi Stephen thanks for your answer I tried to follow directions to install drupal from the command line as I had no success with the file downloaded from opigno or from drupal, although I now suspect that I dropped them in the wrong location. I did sudo apt-get install moodle7 having installed and tested mysql, php and apache2, all from command line. Anyway this all besides the point to a degree as I noticed some strange goings on with the system and came to the conclusion to do a clean install. I decided to use gnome as I am working on a netbook as a test server and so far it is much quicker and more stable than ubuntu. So there is hope. I have been googling all day trying to find a definitive way to set up and configure (note I avoid the word install) opigno on linux. I do appreciate that opigno is a drupal core product and not a separate application. Best regards bevangg

....

Just to clarify I installed drupal7 as described and then manually added all opigno modules etc

thanks for the reply

Hi James please see my response to stephan as you were asking the same question I think. I feel that the instructions for set-up and configuration perhaps assume far more in depth knowledge of server configuration than many users would be able to understand. I have done a clean install of Gnome 14.04 this afternoon and it is raring to go. If you can supply any advice to get opigno up and running it would be greatly appreciated. If not then I will ,or already have done, the following: install mysql (done, tested ok) create opignodb root user no password(done, tested ok) install apache2 (done, tested ok) download opigno tar gzip from opigno.org unpack and move to /var/www/html/ open browser and navigate to localhost/opigno follow instructions to setup opigno/drupal this is all pretty much what I did before but got no end of problems and errors but as previously mentioned the system was not working properly and clearly had a serious problem. tested ok refers to being able to restart the mysql and apache services and being able to connect to opignodb through mysqlworkbench. Best regards

Hi benangg,

Hi benangg,

I highly recommend you to install the distribution. Installing the modules separately misses out on some default configuration.

What part of the distribution installation failed for you?

Best regards
