I had a difficult time getting CDash to work even though I am familiar
with MySQL.
Here are some suggestions for the documentation:
1) CDash requires these Python modules (
* bcmath
* cURL (for site statistics)
* GD (for regression tests)
* mbstring
* pdo-mysql or pdo-postgresql
* XSL
). One of the distros I found installed these modules by default. I did
not know this until I ran php -m which displays what modules are installed.
2) For security reasons, MySQL no longer allows you to set the initial
password from a regular (non-sudo) command line unless you ssh in.
Entering
sudo mysql -u root -p
and then typing the root password works. You can also do it like this:
||ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY
'yourPassword';||
3) The easiest way to do the initial MySQL configuration is to edit (or
create) /etc/mysql/my.cnf, add these lines,
[mysqld]
sql-mode=ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,NO_ZERO_DATE,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION
and then restart MySQL.
sudo mysqld restart
4) This
(https://askubuntu.com/questions/337874/change-apache-document-root-folder-to-secondary-hard-drive)
is an example of how to change DocumentRoot to point to the CDash
directory. Remember to restart Apache2 afterwards:
|sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart|
5) Finally, the docs say you should initially go to
||http://localhost/users.php||
This will not work until you first do the install from here:
||http://localhost/install.php ||
||If you get a database connection refused while doing the install, your
MySQL password is probably not set correctly.||
||||
||Hope this helps,||
||||
