Installing Snipe-IT on CentOS 7 and MariaDB

I attempted to install via the install.sh script and it got most of the way through without error. Then, toward the end of the script, I get this:
----Begin Paste----
----End Paste----

So, in short, it appears that the script relies on PHP being at a version higher than the one that ships with CentOS 7.3. Has anyone found a way around this yet? I've seen a few different HOWTO's where it's mentioned to install the remi or webtatic repo's to get the higher versions of PHP, but composer continues to complain. Thankfully, this was a VM and I was able to create a snapshot before making changes from the baseline.

The script installs the correct version of PHP. It adds the IUS repo specifically for that.

@JaredBusch Apparently mine did not do this step.

@JaredBusch I find it interesting that my installer did in fact install those two repositories, but still fails. What might I need to do to get this to work?

Just spun up a VM. let me try the script.

Worked perfectly. So you did something different..

delete your VM and start over.

Follow the instructions in post 119. That is what I just did in the last couple posts.

I used CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-1611.iso as the base.

@JaredBusch on a side topic, have you tried updating with the installation script that they have for the installer?

I haven't had a chance to dig back into it, but I wasn't able to figure out how others were staying current.

Is that the official method for updating?

Its easier to stay current using the first option.
https://snipe-it.readme.io/docs/downloading

git clone https://github.com/snipe/snipe-it your-folder
To update moving forward, you'll just run git pull to grab the latest.

I started using that when I moved to Fedora.

There isn't one as far as I could find, I was trying to figure out what the process should be.

I agree, but the installation script does a lot, it would be weird to have to go outside of that to perform updates. git was why they built the installation script (it was to difficult for people to grasps)

This is a horrible install method because it does nothing to install the pieces needed.

That is the entire point of the shell script. you get everything as needed.

So what they should do is have the shell script pull the files with git instead of downloading and extracting the package.

If the process is just a git pull that'd be one thing, but nothing in the documentation (as far as I could find) says that.

no. that is the process to update the code. only if you had originally checked out the code via git.

The script does not do that. It downloads the tar.gz file and extracts the code.

		echo -e "\n##  Downloading Snipe-IT from github and put it in the web directory.";

		log "wget -P $tmp/ https://github.com/snipe/snipe-it/archive/$file"
		log "unzip -qo $tmp/$file -d $tmp/"
		log "cp -R $tmp/$fileName $webdir/$name"

I have no idea why when the script pulls from git on debian.

		echo -e "\n* Cloning Snipeit, extracting to $webdir/$name..."
		log "git clone https://github.com/snipe/snipe-it $webdir/$name" & pid=$!

I mean FFS, they are already installed a ton of dependencies on CentOS 7 so just install git as well, FFS.

Yes a double FFS was needed.

@JaredBusch I'm on centos as well for this install.

As for this part

Yes, I understand.

Which is why I'm a bit confused on the update process.

You download the archive and extract it over the top of the current files.

Then you run the update commands, I assume as the apache user (not noted in the instructions).

php composer.phar install --no-dev --prefer-source
php composer.phar dump-autoload
php artisan migrate
php artisan config:clear
php artisan config:cache

They updated the installer to handle SELinux. I shoudl try again without setenforce 0 sometime.

          	#Check if SELinux is enforcing
	       	if [ "$(getenforce)" == "Enforcing" ]; then
	 	       #Add SELinux and firewall exception/rules.
		       #Required for ldap integration
	       	       setsebool -P httpd_can_connect_ldap on
	 	       #Sets SELinux context type so that scripts running in the web server process are allowed read/write access
	 	       chcon -R -h -t httpd_sys_script_rw_t $webdir/$name/
 	       	fi
