Topic: Troubleshooting Installation of Mingle / Mingle 2.0.1 wont install on XP SP2

Hi, brookerrj

Because the “incorrect function” could caused by huge amount of reasons on your windows system. So I guess we could not give a standard answer for it. Here are some stuff I can suggest that may help find out the reason

• Disable all network adapters before start MingleServer service. We have some report that bad configured network adapter can cause “incorrect function” problem. Disable all of adapter should make mingle service using internal loop network interface

• If you login with domain account, try not log into domain.

• Change MingleServer service run under your account instead of LocalSystem. You can change it on the second tab of the service properties dialog.

• Make sure current login user is in the administrators group

• Try turn off firewall if there is any. (Careful about the risk)

• Try another machine ( This may be the final solution :-) )

hi, mick

I guess the problem is on your system unzip the mingle package haven’t keep the excutable attribute of file.
you can try

chmod +x ./MingleServer

BTW: using root to run mingle may not be a good idea. You could also setup another user to run it.

Hi, Mitch

Seems like for unknown reason, mingle service is not correctly installed. You may try uninstall Mingle, delete mingle install folder, reboot windows, and reinstall mingle 2.01 again. Last time it fix my problem, but I don’t know it works for you or not.

Topic: Troubleshooting Installation of Mingle / keeps redirecting to /install

Hi, murtada

Without extra information, we really don’t know what happened. Can you tell us on which platform you installed mingle? If you are on Unix, can you make sure mingle data directory is a directory that use have writing permission? And maybe you can post the logs to us, which you can find under log directory of your mingle installation fold.

Topic: Troubleshooting Installation of Mingle / DB Connection issues

hi, bgallet

Have you change the database.yml manually? If you trying to do that, please taking care of the yaml format. If you are not a yaml expert, there is a simpler way to do this. Shutdown mingle server first, simply delete the database.yml file, start mingle server, and visit it through browser. Then mingle will promote you page of install configuration again. Click next button go to database configuration page input your mysql configuration again. After that mingle will regenerate your database.yml in a correct format.

Topic: Troubleshooting Installation of Mingle / Can I deploy mingle on bluehost?

Hi, Alex

Mingle is a ROR application but running in jruby, so technically it is Java app. I don’t think you can deploy it to bluehost unless you can get java application run on it.

Have you tried newest released Mingle 2.0.1? Does this problem still happen with it?

Topic: Troubleshooting Installation of Mingle / upgrading v 2.08433->2.08540 :: basic configuration file

hi, SC

All configuration files (and all other data such as attachments, icons) are in the Mingle data directory. Where the Mingle data directory is depends on your specification of Mingle installation. Generally you can find the data directory value in Mingle.properties at top level of Mingle install Directory after your installation.

If you want to upgrade, I think make new installation pointing to the same data directory is enough. And of course your should backup your database and data directory before you upgrade.

Cheers!

Topic: Troubleshooting Installation of Mingle / Installation on Ubuntu/Linux

Hi, Dan and bradx3 and Matt

I’m doing some investigation on this problem. Can you guys help me to check out the following things?

1. Check file names and sizes under mingle/.install4j. They should be something like this:

wpc$ pwd
/var/mingle/.install4j
wpc$ ls l
total 1496
-rw-r-r— 1 wpc wheel 20666 Nov 6 17:17 MessagesDefault
rw-r-r— 1 wpc wheel 102 Nov 6 17:17 i4jparams.conf
rw-r-r— 1 wpc wheel 730344 May 21 2007 i4jruntime.jar
rw-r-r— 1 wpc wheel 289 Nov 6 17:17 user.jar

2. Check the mingle.properties. Are the port and dataDir all set as you want?

3. If you are using JDK installed by apt-get, try changing to the old ’.bin’ distribution from Sun.
Here is the link: http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp. Pick up java6 update3 for linux platform.
