Stuck on install

Post by starscreem »

Hello

I'm stuck on my install unable to reach the installer.pl.

Currently, I am trying to install OTRS 6.0.14 on Debian 9.6.0 (Strech). I followed these instructions

https://doc.otrs.com/doc/manual/admin/6 ... -otrs.html

But when I get to step 8 I'm at a loss, seems there is a database set up somewhere maybe? I'm hoping its just some simple direction as I'm rusty on my already green linux skills.

Thanks in advance

Would be helpful if you could give us all the steps that you have made. the step 8 is only to put the url http://localhost/otrs/installer.pl so if you have made every step, and you have all the requirements it works. What happened qhen you try the url?

Greetings.

Sorry for the lack of detail. I go to the url and am able to start the process but the very first step of the whole process http://localhost/otrs/installer.pl and it moves along much like it looks here.

https://doc.otrs.com/doc/manual/admin/6 ... aller.html

But i get to step 4 of in the above link

"4. Depending of the database you chose and if you wanted the web installer to create a database or use an existing one in the previous step, this screen might differ a little. Enter the credentials for the database in this screen."

and I'm stuck. I didn't set up a database, nor did any of the documentation or walkthroughs have me set one up. What I'm starting to think is that the walkthrough is a bit incomplete.

If someone has a better step by step for installing OTRS on Debian I'm all ears :D

Hi Brandon,

installing and creating the database for the application is usually done by you dba. It should be sufficient to install MySQL/MariaDB and following the instructions during the package install.
