solder Technic solder on Win Server 2012?

[FrostyZaij]

okay, so after downloading all the things and have done the "git clone" and the "composer install" I can't get to the login screen... it is suppose to be here right? http://thenexusmodpack.com/technicsolder/public/login

Try this: http://thenexusmodpack.com/technicsolder/public/index.php/login

 

Edit: You have your DocumentRoot set to the wrong location (Apache setting). It should be:

DocumentRoot "w:/xampp/htdocs/TechnicSolder/public"

'Okay, I changed it to that, and I'm getting a 500 error now when trying to login... ( W:xampphtdocsTechnicSolderapplibrariesUpdateUtils.php:124) also, when trying to look at the api I see this:

 {"api":"TechnicSolder","version":"","stream":"DEV"} 

[plowmanplow]

The fact that the JSON response is missing the version number (it's blank) indicates that either the platform isn't connecting to the database properly, that the database is not set up correctly, or something isn't configured correctly. Other than to state the obvious, that you did not properly follow the installation procedures, I'm not sure what else to suggest. I'm not trying to be snarky or critical. I followed the instructions precisely as written on a new installation for WIndows and everything worked as expected, but I have decades of application deployment experience so I may be subconsciously doing something not specified in the instructions.

[FrostyZaij]

I'll try to reinstall it again then, and hope it works now XD

git clone https://github.com/TechnicPack/TechnicSolder.git

Then

composer install

Then

 

configure the database and the repo location

 

Then

php artisan migrate:install

 

and php artisan migrate

 

and lastly php artisan up

 

that should be it right or am I missing a step?

[plowmanplow]

I believe you need to customize (in the app/config/ folder): app.php, database.php, solder.php

[FrostyZaij]

What do I need to configure in the app.php?

[plowmanplow]

I believe the url and the key.

[FrostyZaij]

Ah okay, thanks! Let's hope it works this time XD

[FrostyZaij]

just one quick question, what should the URL be? O.o

okay, so after installing it (in those steps I wrote above) I get this when I try to login in..

If you open a command prompt in the top level solder folder (where the app, bootstrap, etc. folders are located) and type:

git log

Do you get the changlog, or does the command fail?

[FrostyZaij]

I get some text saying

 

"commit 16351adba696d4c09d586c2f4747729bf74be11d
author: genpage <some e-mail adress>
Date: Sun Jan 4 01:15:21 2015 -0500

added help-blocks that the donation field is currently only used by official" something

 

and a few more of that, I guess that is the changelog right?

[plowmanplow]

Correct. The error you are getting is being generated because the code parsing the formated log output (around line 124 in UpdateUtils.php) is failing to explode the output correctly and the array index isn't what's expected. However, This may be because you have one of the path setting misconfigured or something is being mis-detected and the git command is running from the wrong location. Might be time to take this to the IRC channel and ask GenPage.

[FrostyZaij]

I'll try to reinstall everything and see if that helps, should I install all the programs on my C drive instead of the W one I use now?  and setup the locations that I host from on my W drive? I also, doubt they will help me with a windows installation since in the Wiki it says it is not supported.. :/

[plowmanplow]

It shouldn't matter at all where things are located. I have Apache (yes, I know they recommend Nginx) and PHP in the root of C: (C:Apache2, C:PHP) and the DocumentRoot in D:Downloadssolder. The locations are all relative.

[FrostyZaij]

Okay, that is good to know, I thought that it maybe had something to do with that, maybe the firewall or something is blocking it? I saw a thing on the issues site that it was someone having almost the same problem and it was the host blocking something, I'll try to disable the firewall and the Anti-virus software and see if it works then...

[GenPage]

The reason for the "Undefined offset: 1" error is due to the fact that the git command Solder is trying to execute through PHP is not returning what it is suppose to. I have code in development to rectify this issue and many others. I'd like to note that Windows is not supported, meaning that support is not guaranteed for Solder on the Windows operating system. I have decided not to pursue Windows compatibility testing until later down the road to save myself the stress of trying to fix so many bugs.
