Hi all, Before submitting bugs and/or feature requests on github I'd like to share my experiences on this mailing list. Since I wanted the most recent LSMB version I choose to download the tar archive (1.4.27) from Sourceforge. I used the INSTALL file for the installation instructions. Instead using the Debian packages I used cpanmin.us to install all required Perl modules. * My two cents: Move Perl the module dependency list out of the INSTALL.md into a separate file which can be fed to cpanminus. Then I stumbled over the section "Initializing a company database". First I tried setting up a database using "setup.pl" via the browser, but failed since I missed the trick of specifying a non-existant company name. * For all stupid users like me, it might be a good idea to add a menu button "create new company database" in setup.pl Peeking in the actual INSTALL.md on github learned that above issue has been addressed: a paragraph was added to demystify this. * Please backport this paragraph to the 1.4.27 INSTALL file Since setup.pl failed I tried to create the company database using the "prepare-company-database.sh" script. No luck! It emerged this script has several bugs: 209: su -c "" The su lacks the argument of the Linux user "postgres". This causes the script to fail: "Peer Authentication failed" 254: if ! test "x$pgsql_contrib_dir" = "xignored" Typo. Should be: if ! test "x$pgsql_contrib_dir" = "xignore" 288: person__save(NULL, pgsql function "person__save" fails because in LSMB 1.4 two new args were added to this function. As a result no "admin" user is created, rendering the DB unusable for login. In commit 7d09fc9d (2015-11-21 Erik Huelsmann) the script "prepare-company-database.sh" has been dropped completely. However: * INSTALL.md still refers to the non-existing script "prepare-company-database.sh" It seems the shell script "prepare-company-database.sh" has been replaced by it Perl variant "prepare-company-database.pl". So I gave that script a try. But alas, the A's were not in my cards: # ./tools/prepare-company-database.pl --company tuxtest2 --coa /usr/share/ledgersmb/sql/coa/be/chart/G eneral.sql --password LSMB DBI connect('dbname=tuxtest2','',...) failed: fe_sendauth: no password supplied at ./tools/prepare-com pany-database.pl line 159. Can't call method "prepare" on an undefined value at ./tools/prepare-company-database.pl line 164. I stopped hacking here. Regards, Marjan Waldorp Tux4u |
