ZMikko-Pekka,

This is interesting as I have not been able to reproduce this. Fo-postinstall completes with errors due to the package agent not finding libextractor. I have tried a fix for that and it didn't seem to work.

I am really replying to say that you might be able to get the copyright agent working by doing the following:

1. stop the scheduler: sudo /etc/init.d/fossology stop
2. Run the scheduler in selftest mode: sudo /usr/lib/fossology/fossology-scheduler -t -L stdout. In the output you should see that copyright complains about the db table not being there and then says it will create it.
3. Restart the scheduler: sudo /etc/init.d/fossology start

That might be your problem and that might fix it.  Hope that helps.

Hi all,

We have also been successful in installing and using Fossology 1.2 pr2 in Ubuntu 10.04. If it helps, here is a very brief outline of what we did:

1)       Installed fresh Ubuntu 10.04 desktop version;

2) Checked-out Fossology source from svn site: "svn co https://fossology.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/fossology/tags/1.2.0~rc2/";;

3) Followed the install procedure described in file INSTALL, running all commands as sudo (did not adjust kernel shmmax) until fo-postinstall exited after some errors;

4) Concluded that that the errors were related to PHP5, so we installed the following packages using apt-get install: php5, php5-pgsql, php-pear libapache2-mod-php5, php5-cli;

5) Ran fo-postinstall again, started the scheduler with "/etc/init.d/Fossology start" and started using Fossology.

Since then we have been using that installation. The copyright task does not finish, but I have understood that the issue is a known bug.

Regards,

Mikko-Pekka Partanen

Mark,

Thank you very much for all the support. It was nice talking to you.

Let me know when are done with testing fossology install on 8.0.4 ubuntu. I will follow the same instructions. Thanks again.

Regards,

Gurbax,

I have good news. FOSSology appears to be working fine on 8.04. We got some good comments on the mailing list for 10.04 and I'll be following up on those. In the mean time, lets' get you going on FOSSology 1.2.0 on 8.04.

Here are the steps I followed:

1. Make sure my os was up to date: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
2. Added the fossology repository into the sources.list file for apt:

# FOSSology 1.2.0
deb http://fossology.org/debian/lenny-backports/1.2.0-1 ./

3. Configured my system as per the INSTALL doc:
     - kernel
     - postgres
     - php
- apache (use the path /usr/share/fossology/www instead of /usr/local/share)

4. update again: sudo apt-get update

5. Installed fossology: sudo apt-get install fossology,
the packages cannot be authenticated... install them anyway.

It should install just fine, create a scheduler.conf file for you and start the scheduler.

By going to: http://<your-machine.domain>/repo/ you should see the fossology login screen.

I'll be around on Friday till about 1pm. Please let me know how it goes. Best of luck with your work.
