Fossology installation -php error
Hello,

When the installation of fossology was processed ,there is one issue related to php.

In the step of /usr/local/lib/fossology/fo-postinstall.

1.Then error shows:

2.I have seen the code but I still could not figure out how to solve it.

Code:

51 $sysconfdir = ‘’;
52 $delDbPattern = ‘the option -rfosstest will drop data bases with datname like “fosstest%”’;
53 /* command-line options /
54 $Options = getopt($AllPossibleOpts);

59 foreach($Options as $optKey => $optVal)
60 {
61 switch($optKey)
62 {
63 case ‘c’: / set SYSCONFIDR /
64 $sysconfdir = $optVal;
65 break;
66 case ‘d’: / optional database name /
67 $DatabaseName = $optVal;
68 break;
69 case ‘f’: / schema file /
70 $SchemaFilePath = $optVal;
71 break;
72 case ‘h’: / help /
73 explainUsage();
74 case ‘l’: / update the license_ref table /
75 $UpdateLiceneseRef = true;
76 break;
77 case ‘v’: / verbose */
78 $Verbose = true;
79 break;
80 case ‘r’:
81 $delDbPattern = $optVal ? “$optVal%” : “fosstest%”;
82 break;
83 default:
84 echo “Invalid Option "$optKey".\n”;
85 explainUsage();
86 }
87 }

Hello,

I have googled the issue and found if I insert (array) in foreach($Options as $optKey => $optVal) ,the issue disappeared.

Code:
59 foreach((array)$Options as $optKey => $optVal)
60 {
61 switch($optKey)
62 {

But still I have warning and error informaiton about :

[color=crimson]NOTE: plpgsql already exists in fossology database, good
*** update the database and license_ref table ***

Can someone provide any suggestion?:slight_smile:

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

It seems I found the issue.The reason that the installation failed is due to the version of php and some patches for php.
Here is the solution I use:
1)yum listed install|grep -i php

remove the old version by using yum remove php****

then
2)
yum new version of php 5.6

a.Yum the php repo
rpm -Uvh http://mirror.webtatic.com/yum/el6/latest.rpm

b.Installation:
yum install php56w.x86_64 php56w-cli.x86_64 php56w-common.x86_64 php56w-gd.x86_64 php56w-ldap.x86_64 php56w-mbstring.x86_64 php56w-mysql.x86_64 php56w-pdo.x86_64 php56w-odbc.x86_64 php56w-xml.x86_64 php56w-xmlrpc.x86_64 php56w-soap.x86_64

After that then yum install php56w-pgsql,php56w-posix

3)run /usr/local/lib/fossology/fo-postinstall

[root@localhost conf]# /usr/local/lib/fossology/fo-postinstall
*** Running postinstall for everything ***
*** Running postinstall for common actions***
*** Creating user and group ***

Hello ,

The issue has been solved.

The issue is due to the selinux status .

Please set selinux to disbled.

There are 2 approches:

1)setenforce 0

2)vim ./etc/sysconfig/selinux

find selinux = enabled and change it into selinux = disabled.

Restartt linux server.(reboot)

Tada…completed :slight_smile:

Best regards
