I have been trying to get this program to install on ubuntu 10.04 (32) and have installed all of the required dependencies, but when I open the web browser and type in the address, it just downloads a php script and does not run the browser web install. This is a great program and I have used it and installed it on a windows box, but I am now only running linux and would like to continue using this program. The company does not offer a "howto" on installing it from linux, and I am looking for a little help. I have tried other websites but have not had any luck. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, John
Yes, php is installed, this is the link to the tutorial that I used, but I cannot help to think that I missed something.. http://felimwhiteley.wordpress.com/2009/05/14/installing-orangehrm-on-ubuntu/ I posted the question at the end. ~John
dipeshmehta, Thank you for the link, I could not find that when I looked for it I think because I was looking for the web install. It appears that my problem is with apache, there is no user "apache" and there is no group for users under "apache". When I tried the chown command, I got: john@MediaPita:/var/www$ sudo chown apache /var/www/orangehrm chown: invalid user: `apache' I am sure that there is something else I missed. ~John
Hi If it fails try one of below. chown -R apache:apache /location chmod -R 755 /location or chown -R www-data /location chmod -R 755 /location If above failed please try to uninstall apache php and mysql and try to install lamp stack. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP Use OrangeHRM latest stable version which is 2.6. Regards, Dulitha.
Dulitha, Thank you for the reply, I was able to find out that in Ubuntu, there is no user or group for "apache", the group is "www-data". Once I changed ownership to this group, the program worked as advertised. thanks for all the help!
