Installing Snipe-IT on CentOS 7 and MariaDB

Of course - create a backup first!

It took us a few times in getting this process sorted out as there is an issue from the master branch and develop branch.

This is roughly what I had to do (with the help of @tiagom and Hinsk from Gitter)

cd /var/www/html/snipeit/
git pull
nano composer.json

Edit : "doctrine/inflector": "1.2.*" to be "doctrine/inflector": "1.1.*"

save the file

remove these files rm bootstrap/cache/config.php rm bootstrap/cache/services.php and rm bootstrap/cache/compiled.php

composer dump

php artisan cache:clear
php artisan view:clear
php artisan config:clear

git pull

php composer.phar install --no-dev --prefer-source
php composer.phar dump-autoload

nano .env
adding
APP_LOCALE=en and LEGACY_APP_KEY=<duplicate_APP_KEY_value

php artisan migrate

Reboot and the site should work.

Having issues upgrading.
One issue I have is can't remember the original install method but I think I used the install.sh method from 1st post.

so I've cd into /var/www/html/snipeit

git pull that seems to bring new files down
vi composer.json looked at the file and doctrine/inflector": "1.2." is already set to 1.1.

rm bootstrap/cache/config.php says there is no file ???

composer dump gives me composer: command not found

Could I backup the DB do a fresh install the restore? or has the structure changed in the DB???

This is the upgrade process (as it should work). But I believe I had the same issue. You might want to jump onto gitter and ask them to assist you with that as I don't recall what I had to do to correct it.

@dustinb3403 Yeah that's the procedure I've been trying to follow then tried what you mentioned above.

OK i'll have a look gitter and see what I can work out But will leave it till Monday now

Have anyone installed Snipe-IT by using option 1 and then upgraded successfully to v4?

vi app/config/app.php

This is wrong

Should be:

vi config/app.php

It's no longer in the app directory.

Alex Sage

Looks like timezone is set to UTC by default now.

@scottalanmiller said in Installing Snipe-IT on CentOS 7 and MariaDB:

php artisan app:install

This also no longer works as of version 3...

Alex Sage

Also, nothing about opening firewall ports in this guide.

@hobbit666 Did you reboot?

Is httpd running? MariaDB?

hobbit666

@aaronstuder maybe

Will give it another go tomorrow maybe

Check your APP_URL in your .env, it should match the url you are using to access the site.

hobbit666

@black3dynamite OK will but that on the check list when I try again tomorrow.

Snipe is currently on Version 4 and there should be nothing wrong with the installer.

Upgrading a previously install v3 to v4 is more complicated, but isntalling a clean v4 should jsut work.

hobbit666

@jaredbusch It's an upgrade from v3

Did you follow the instructions that I posted 17 days ago?

I did, but I was on gitter and received assistance directly from 2 of the developers there.

DustinB3403

The upgrade from v3 to v4 was the most painful part, since upgrading my upgrades to keep current have been very simple.
