      I am getting the same error. Prior to the red box warning the system says "sed: can't read app/config/app.php: No such file or directory"

      Oddly SnipeIT starts, I can even reach it from another PC on the network though after I log in the screen is blank.
      EDIT: SO I cannot find app/config/app.php, there is an app.php under var/www/html/snipe/config.

        Hey guys, I'm tied up most of the afternoon but I'll totally look into this for you. Sorry for the delay.

                  I finally nailed the install to Ubuntu 16.04. It's no single line code and was very manual but I wanted to debug where this was failing and finally figured it out. Here is what I had to do (pardon the elementary nature of the process, I'm still a real Linux noob)...

                  CAUTION:
                  These instructions only work for Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial because I deleted all code referencing other builds. If your version is different, make sure to retain what is relevant for your build.

                  AMATEUR HOUR WARNING
                  As I mentioned before, as I'm still very new to Linux, If someone here can likely figure out a much better way to get this setup, even better. I hadn't been able to find any instructions on the internet that proved useful even though my google-foo is quite strong, and I was determined to get this setup, if for no other reason than this would be a great learning experience.

                  • Setup a VM in Hyper-V and completed a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04 server
                  • During the install I selected to manually install the necessary packages so this was a minimal server install
                  • Full update
                    sudo apt-get update
                    sudo apt-get upgrade
                    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
                  • Manually install apache
                    sudo apt-get install apache2 apache2-utils
                  • Enable apache to autostart
                    sudo systemctl enable apache2
                  • Set ownership of root directory
                    sudo chown www-data /var/www/html/ -R
                  • Install MariaDB
                    sudo apt-get install mariadb-server mariadb-client
                  • Enable MariaDB to autostart
                    sudo systemctl enable mysql
                  • Complete MariaDB setup. When prompted, select pwd, remove anonymous, disallow remote root, remove test db and reload db
                    sudo mysql_secure_installation
                  • Install PHP
                    sudo apt-get install php7.0-fpm php7.0-mysql php7.0-common php7.0-gd php7.0-json php7.0-cli php7.0-curl libapache2-mod-php7.0
                  • Enable apache PHP module and restart apache
                    sudo a2enmod php7.0
                    sudo systemctl restart apache2

                  That got me to my base LAMP install. I was now ready to download Snipe-IT. From the documentation I selected #3 and ran each command one at a time.
                  sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/snipe/snipe-it/master/install.sh
                  chmod 744 install.sh

                  Then before running the final command I decided to examine the "install.sh" contents to see what was happening. Turns out it downloads and calls another script so before running that second script, I wanted to have a look at it so I commented out the final command that executes the second script so it would only download the file to my home directory and set permissions. I then ran the script and got the second script so I could look at it.
                  sudo ./install.sh

                  Once I looked in the second script (snipeit.sh) I noticed there is a lot of content that is trying to account for various Linux builds so I went through and deleted everything that didn't have anything to do with my version of Linux in order to simplify the debugging process. I also deleted every code reference to >> /var/log/snipeit-install.log 2>&1 since I had noticed on a previous run that this was causing permissions errors. Rather than have to deal with permissions, I didn't care about saving the install log and instead allowed it to display on the terminal session.

                  The next error I got was related to the composer where the code was trying to install using sudo (you'll note that this is set at the top of the script). Apparently composer cannot be installed this way. Keep reading for how I addressed that.

                  I then also removed most references to updates or installing the LAMP stack as I had already done this. Something that kept causing errors in the script even when I chose to run from nothing but a minimal Ubuntu install without apache, mysql or php. I ended-up modifying the script quite a bit, hard-coding some of the variables to make debugging a little easier. This is the final script I had saved as "snipeit.sh"

                  This got me about 90% of the way there. I then had to run the following commands one at a time (note that composer is not run from the elevated command)

                  cd /var/www/snipeit
                  curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
                  php composer.phar install --no-dev --prefer-source

                  To finish it off, I set the required permissions.

                  sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/snipeit/storage
                  sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/snipeit/storage/private_uploads
                  sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/snipeit/public/uploads
                  sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/snipeit
                  sudo service apache2 restart
                  

                  Because I'm using this internally, I edited the sites-available/snipeit.conf file as follows...

                  <VirtualHost *:80>
                  ServerAdmin email@domain.com
                      <Directory /var/www/snipeit/public>
                          Require all granted
                          AllowOverride All
                     </Directory>
                      DocumentRoot /var/www/snipeit/public
                      ServerName snipeit.domain.com
                      ServerAlias XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX #This is the server IP address
                      ServerAlias localhost
                      ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/sniptit.error.log
                      CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/snipeit.access.log combined
                  </VirtualHost>
                  

                  The installation will have created a .env file in your root folder however, I figured out that this file was incomplete. So I added the missing values based on documentation for Snipe-IT and this is the resulting /var/www/snipeit/.env file...

                  Once that was updated, I rebooted the server for good measure and was able to navigate to my server IP address http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX and was presented with the Pre-flight & Setup screen.

                  For reference, this is where to find the .env file config details.

                  Once you're at the pre-flight page and everything is green, you can navigate your way to setting up the db and user and begin to enter your first assets.

                  Hope this proves useful.

                      @Jstear Sadly I just got it installed so can't comment on how effective it will be for me. Will report back when I have more.

                        Getting ready to test again. It's certainly recommended to try out, not many products like it out there.

                            @scottalanmiller Im new to the forum, any update with Centos 7 and Maria DB installation and configuration? Haven't started since Snipe IT documentation looks confusing and less details for a not so linux expert like me....

                              @jfc Setup you CentOS 7 vm and only use their install script.

                              wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/snipe/snipe-it/master/install.sh
                              chmod 744 install.sh
                              ./install.sh
                              

                              It will download everything you need and get you to a working Snipe IT installation, I just setup my own Snipe IT vm like this =).

                                Can't seem to grasp how to upgrade from V2 to V3 as I've used the above method and used the install.sh

                                So not sure if I should be using GIT to clone the new version and then how to install/move the latest version and what files need editing.

                                  Tested on centOS 7 installs great. Wonder how we update.

                                    @tiagom Taken from here https://snipe-it.readme.io/docs/how-to-upgrade:

                                    Upgrading
                                    Updating Snipe-IT should be pretty straightforward. Simply pull down the newest release, copy the files over, and run whatever commands the release notes specify. Your configuration won’t be overwritten, since the .env file isn't checked into version control.

                                    Always backup your database and configuration files before upgrading. We try very hard to make sure that all database changes are non-destructive, but you should always backup beforehand anyway. You will never regret backing up your database. You may regret not doing so, so it’s just better to get into the habit.

                                    Whenever you pull down a new version from master or develop, or when you grab the latest official release, make sure to run the following commands via command line:

                                    php composer.phar install --no-dev --prefer-source
                                    php composer.phar dump-autoload
                                    php artisan migrate
                                    php artisan config:clear
                                    php artisan config:cache
                                    (Developers should remove the --no-dev flag, so they have unit test frameworks and debugging tools.)

                                    Forgetting to run these commands can mean your DB might end up out of sync with the new files you just pulled, or you may have some funky cached autoloader values.

                                    It’s a good idea to get into the habit of running these every time you pull anything new down. If there are no database changes to migrate, it won't hurt anything to run migrations anyway, you’ll just see "Nothing to migrate".

                                    If you have any issues upgrading, check the Common Issues page for a fix. If you don’t see your issue listed there, open an issue on Github and we’ll try to get you sorted out. Be sure to provide the information outlined in the Getting Help section of this site so that we have the info we need to assist you.

                                      That's the first issue I have. I used the install.sh method so how do we download the latest?

                                      Do I GIT the latest into the var/www/snipeit folder?
                                      Do I download a zip/tar and unpack into the folder etc etc. 🙂

                                        @hobbit666 You can use either way, they both accomplish the same thing that is downloading the newest source files.

                                        Step 1: Backup your database
                                        While logged in, go to Admin > Backups and generate a new backup. Download that file and keep it somewhere safe, in case you need to restore back to that version if something goes wrong with your upgrade.

                                        Step 2: Backup your old version
                                        The easiest way to do this will be to just rename your old Snipe-IT install directory and create a new, empty directory that uses the old directory name, but you can handle this any way that works for you.

                                        For example, if your Snipe-IT was installed in /var/www/snipe-it, you could rename that directory to /var/www/snipe-it-backup and then create a new directory /var/www/snipe-it.

                                        Step 3: Download/clone the new release
                                        Download the zip from: https://github.com/snipe/snipe-it/archive/master.zip
                                        or
                                        git clone https://github.com/snipe/snipe-it.git

                                        Step 4: Update dependencies
                                        Whenever you pull down a new version, you should update the dependencies via Composer and dump the autoloader.

                                        NOTE: Never run composer as a super-user or Administrator. Always run it as the user that owns the Snipe-IT files. Running composer as a super-user will break things in ways that will be difficult to debug later. Just don't do it.

                                        1st you'll need to install composer into the directory if you don't have it installed globally:

                                        cd <install-dir>
                                        curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php 
                                        

                                        Noq update dependencies and dump the auto-loader.

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

                                        Step 5: Copy over your configuration settings

                                        IMPORTANT:
                                        This step will only need to be done once, while upgrading to v3.0. Once you've upgraded to v3.0, you won't ever have to do this part again.

                                        Open up your .env file in your new Snipe-IT install directory, and update the configuration placeholders you see there with the values you were previously using in your individual config files.

                                        If you don't have a .env file, just copy the existing .env.example over to .env and use that:

                                        cp .env.example .env
                                        

                                        The files you'll be copying from are:

                                        • app/config/app.php
                                        • app/config/production/app.php
                                        • app/config/production/database.php

                                        SECURE_COOKIES /app/config/production/session.php secure

                                        Everything else in your .env can be left alone, as they are more advanced settings that are not commonly used.

                                        Step 6: Move uploaded files and check permissions
                                        Since Laravel's file structure has changed, you're going to need to move a few files around to make sure your uploaded files (logo, uploaded asset files, asset model files, etc) are in their new location.

                                        cp ../snipe-it-backup/app/storage/dumps/* snipe-it/storage/app/backups/
                                        cp ../snipe-it-backup/app/private_uploads/* snipe-it/storage/private_uploads/
                                        cp ../snipe-it-backup/public/uploads/* snipe-it/public/uploads/
                                        

                                        Also confirm that your entire storage directory (and subdirectories) is writable by the web server.

                                        Step 7: Migrate the database
                                        Always run your database migrations on any upgrade, as this will make sure your database schema is up to date with what the new code expected.

                                        php artisan migrate
                                        

                                        Forgetting to run these commands can mean your DB might end up out of sync with the new files you just pulled, or you may have some funky cached autoloader values.

                                        It’s a good idea to get into the habit of running these every time you pull anything new down. If there are no database changes to migrate, it won't hurt anything to run migrations anyway, you’ll just see "Nothing to migrate".

                                        Step 8: Launch Snipe-IT in a browser
                                        You should be all set now, so just go to your old Snipe-IT URL and make sure everything is working.

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

                                          @hobbit666 You can use either way, they both accomplish the same thing that is downloading the newest source files.

                                          Step 1: Backup your database
                                          While logged in, go to Admin > Backups and generate a new backup. Download that file and keep it somewhere safe, in case you need to restore back to that version if something goes wrong with your upgrade.

                                          Thanks Romo will give it a try Monday/Tuesday
