trying to run GLPI on OS X

[tlarkin]

I am trying to run GLPI on OS X and am running into some issues. I downloaded XAMPP because it was recommended to me because of its ease of usage. So far I like the design of it, but am failing to grasp a few things.

In OS X by default, Apache's config page is /etc/httpd/httpd.conf, but if XAMPP is installed does it alter this file?

Apache's default web doc folder is /Library/WebServer/Documnets, but XAMPP's is /Applications/XAMPP/htdocs

I untarred the glpi folder into /Applications/XAMP/htdocs and applied permission changes to the folder. Then I tried to launch the interactive web based set up by accessing http://localhost/glpi and I get an error message of internal server not found or configuration error

There is no documentation on how to load this on OS X, and I am kind of doing a trial by fire. Any pointers and/or suggestions or documentation on how to set it up would be extremely greatly appreciated.

Here is GLPI's official project page, its a MYSQL ticketing system that I want to use to inventory the 6,000 machines I support at work. I want a work order ticket system that I can use to track transfers, repairs, etc etc

http://glpi-project.org/

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!

hello,

In OS X by default, Apache's config page is /etc/httpd/httpd.conf, but if XAMPP is installed does it alter this file?

No, XAMPP does only touch files in /Applications/xampp (and mybe in /tmp)

Apache's default web doc folder is /Library/WebServer/Documnets, but XAMPP's is /Applications/XAMPP/htdocs

Right...

I untarred the glpi folder into /Applications/XAMP/htdocs and applied permission changes to the folder. Then I tried to launch the interactive web based set up by accessing http://localhost/glpi and I get an error message of internal server not found or configuration error

I have never heard this error Can you post die exact error message?

That is the whole error log

[kleinweby]

ok,

Open the httpd.conf in /Applicatioins/xampp/etc/ and change all AllowOverride to All.

kleinweby

[tlarkin]

changed the overrideallow to all, and no dice....

I am thinking I may just install leopard since it has all the bits xampp installs native, I think that since I installed that huge package there are config issues.

What else can I try?

Thanks again for your help I really appreciate it.

[kleinweby]

do you have restart Apache?

[tlarkin]

Yes, I restarted apache...

I am just going to reboot the freaking machine and see what that does

[kleinweby]

ok, then rename the .htaccess file in your glpi folder.

[tlarkin]

I do not see a file named htaccess in GLPI...

[kleinweby]

Files starting with an dot are hidden by the finder. You have to use the Terminal

Code: Select all

mv /Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/htdocs/glpi/.htaccess /Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/htdocs/glpi/_htaccess

kleinweby

[tlarkin]

Oh yeah, duh I knew that, I didn't even take the dot into consideration....

HAHAHA, still TOO early in the morning.

[tlarkin]

okay, renamed file, still same error message
