Issues getting Flarum to work on new host

@Hari checking

[phenomlab]

@Hari It’s looking for a Redis install. Is this active ?

[2022-02-16 11:57:15] flarum.ERROR: Predis\Connection\ConnectionException: Connection refused [tcp://127.0.0.1:6379]

[Hari]

@phenomlab yes, after installing composer i am supposed to install redis

[phenomlab]

@Hari Did you install composer as per this guide ?

https://getcomposer.org/download/

Essentially, it’s this

php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
php -r "if (hash_file('sha384', 'composer-setup.php') === '906a84df04cea2aa72f40b5f787e49f22d4c2f19492ac310e8cba5b96ac8b64115ac402c8cd292b8a03482574915d1a8') { echo 'Installer verified'; } else { echo 'Installer corrupt'; unlink('composer-setup.php'); } echo PHP_EOL;"
php composer-setup.php
php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"

[Hari]

@phenomlab yes,

[phenomlab]

@Hari It’s not installed

EDIT: Seems it is installed, but not correctly. You should be able to run this simply as composer. However, php composer.phar will work, but it’s clumsy to type…

[Hari]

@phenomlab

i followed these two guides

php composer.phar

https://getcomposer.org/download/
https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md

i think i installed it in multiple places root and public_html

how can i fix it?

[phenomlab]

@Hari Ok. Let me have a look at this for you.

[phenomlab]

@Hari done. You should now be able to run composer directly as any user (preferably not root) inside the public_html directory.

Essentially, it needs to be installed as php composer-setup.php --install-dir=/usr/bin --filename=composer

[Hari]

@phenomlab sir, do i need to move any files now? or did you fix it ?

[phenomlab]

@Hari Fixed. No need to move anything. It should just “work”

[phenomlab]

@Hari you can go ahead and use sudo apt install redis-server redis-tools to get Redis up and running now. After that, (hopefully) Flarum should boot.

[Hari]

@phenomlab i should also setup cron jobs now searching

[phenomlab]

@Hari This should help

[Hari]

@phenomlab i have added cron job

updated the config file but flarum is not running on IP
when i disable redis its not loading inner pages

[phenomlab]

@Hari That’s expected because you didn’t run sudo apt install redis-server redis-tools
I’ve just done this, and the site now loads.

[Hari]

@phenomlab i did execute that command, the inner discussion pages still not loading

[phenomlab]

@Hari said in Issues getting Flarum to work on new host:

If you’d executed it, then it wouldn’t have installed when I ran it

This is also expected as you haven’t included the .nginx.conf file. Hold on a second.

[phenomlab]

@Hari works now - see config below (highlighted section)

[Hari]

@phenomlab is this config file?
