After successful ./setup.sh, I browse to here as instructions said.

But the page is blank.  logs are as follows ...

access_log:

error_log:

I think the database isn't being installed.   I tried on another new system and played around with

trying to get the database initiated, but still can't get past this.

Answer 1

Hi,

I had the very same problem under CentOS 7 and it turned out that I was missing a couple of PHP modules:

- php-mysql

- php-soap

After installing them I was able to carry on.

Good luck.

Answer 2

Hi,

All mandatory php modules had been installed ?

Answer 3

To Frankb

Hard to answer that.  Read the instructions and several other docs by people installing this.  The installer didn't warn of anything not installed.  Do you have a specific question or log to review that

could help?

Answer 4

To bonowax:  Thanks for narrowing that down.   Its working now, I'm working on filling it up with inventory.

Thanks a bunch.
