Installing and configuring CDash

eamoc · May 24, 2023, 3:48pm

Hi,
I am trying to set yup CDash as per the instructions in:

Kitware/CDash/blob/master/docs/install.md

# Installation

If you'd like to install CDash in a [Docker](https://www.docker.com) container, please see our
[Docker installation guide](docker.md).

## Prerequisite software

Before installing CDash, you will need:

- A web server: [Apache](https://httpd.apache.org) or [NGINX](https://www.nginx.com)
- A database: [MySQL v5.x+](https://www.mysql.com) or [PostgreSQL v9.2+](https://www.postgresql.org)
- [PHP 7.3+](https://www.php.net)
- [Composer v2.x](https://getcomposer.org) (to install PHP dependencies)
- [npm v6](https://www.npmjs.com/) (to install Javascript dependencies)

## PHP modules

CDash needs the following PHP modules installed and enabled.

I am supposed to be directed to install.php, but I get a 503 Error. The setup doesnt provide an install.php. I tried running on my nginx server (with mariadb on linux), as well as with ‘php artisan serve’.
I edited .env as appropriate.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

I had similar problems, and was advised to follow the set of docker based instructions instead.

# Bug report ### Expected Behavior New CDash server instance to work …### Actual Behavior docker env file problem, CDash not loading install page After following the docker instructions, after the very first docker compose command, I got: ```Couldn't read env file: /var/lib/snapd/void/.env.dev``` I continued with trying to load the CDash site in a web browser anyhow, and got this in the apache logs: ``` [Tue Aug 29 09:01:26.511181 2023] [php:warn] [pid 47934] [client XX.XX.XX.XX:41742] PHP Warning: require(/opt/cdash/CDash-3.2.0-rc1/public/../vendor/autoload.php): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /opt/cdash/CDash-3.2.0-rc1/public/index.php on line 24 [Tue Aug 29 09:01:26.511344 2023] [php:error] [pid 47934] [client XX.XX.XX.XX:41742] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Failed opening required '/opt/cdash/CDash-3.2.0-rc1/public/../vendor/autoload.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php') in /opt/cdash/CDash-3.2.0-rc1/public/index.php:24 Stack trace: #0 {main} thrown in /opt/cdash/CDash-3.2.0-rc1/public/index.php on line 24 ``` ### CDash Version v3.2.0-rc1 ( downloaded .tar.gz from this link: https://github.com/Kitware/CDash/archive/refs/tags/v3.2.0-rc1.tar.gz ) ### Additional Information  This is my first attempt at using docker.
