Hi All,

I ran the installation again. It completed this time around, however, the services are unable to start.
Below is the message i get:-

root@ec2-52-210-174-97:/home/ubuntu# service --status-all | grep '\[ ? \]'
[ ? ] alaveteli
[ ? ] alaveteli-alert-tracks
[ ? ] alaveteli-send-notifications

I ran the command below several times. I never got any error message back

service alaveteli start

Below is what I get when i re-run the installation script.

First place I'd dig into is the rails application log at `/var/www/alaveteli/alaveteli/log/production.log`.

That should give you some indication of what's up on the application side.

Hi Gareth,

At this time, what i have is `/var/www/alaveteli/alaveteli/log/development.log`.

I have attached zipped copies of all the files in the location "/var/www/alaveteli/alaveteli/log".

Also, I have only made 3 changes in the general.yml file.

Looks like the app is starting in development mode, rather than production mode, if you only have a development.log.

Might be caused by this bug https://github.com/mysociety/alaveteli/issues/2392. Do you have a `/var/www/alaveteli/alaveteli/config/rails_env.rb` file?

I think you may just need to change `RAILS_ENV=development` to `RAILS_ENV=production` in `/etc/init.d/alaveteli` and then probably run `sudo systemctl daemon-reload` and then restart the daemon.

Let us know if that works!

Out of interest, what country/jurisdiction are you creating an Alaveteli for?

Best,

Gareth

It has now generated a production.log file after i made the changes you suggested. See attached. file.

The file rails_env.rb does not appear to exist anywhere within my server system.

I think you may just need to change `RAILS_ENV=development` to `RAILS_ENV=production` in `/etc/init.d/alaveteli` and then probably run `sudo systemctl daemon-reload` and then restart the daemon.

I made the changes and attempted to start the service but it would not start.

Let us know if that works!

I am doing it for Nigeria.

I have already started work on fixmyarea4us.org (clone of fixmystreet.org for Nigeria) . I am eager to get Alaveteli going under wetindemsabi.org so that the data we gather for the target institutions can be used for both applications. I am based in the UK in Coventry. I do large scale Office 365/Microsoft Azure migrations for a living.

Hi Michael,

So the app is now running in the production environment but the database hasn't been set up correctly. This should have happened previously as part of the installation process but if the environment was wrong then it would've happened to the wrong database. The solution now would be to re-run the ./script/rails-post-deploy script which comes from Alaveteli.

Let us know how you get on.

Best,

Thanks for letting us know a bit more about the work you're doing. Excellent!

Looks like you have some sort of permission issue if you look in the thin log file.

Make sure the files are owned and that the application is being started by the alaveteli user.

The pry gem shouldn't get loaded in the production environment, so make sure you have a `config/rails_env.rb` as per [1]

Best,

Gareth

Hi Gareth,

At this stage, i think it would be handy if someone who has recently completed an install could share their experience. I have literally attempted the install on 10 different instances of fresh builds of various Linux versions. The result has always been very similar to what i am reporting here, or even more pronounced (installation does not complete).

Cheers,

Michael

I think I'd try to debug this by checking each layer of the stack.

1. Can you start the thin application server directly? `RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec thin…` (Use the same arguments as used in the start_daemon function in /etc/init.di/alaveteli)

2. If so, with the server running, in a separate terminal can you access the application? `curl 127.0.0.1:3000` (or whatever port thin starts the app on).

3. Check logs; any errors?

4. Kill the foreground server and start the app server through the system daemon.

5. Can you still use curl to get a successful response? Any errors in the logs?

6. What happens when you start the web server? Can it access the backend when you make a request through that layer? Which logs show error messages at that point?

Try to step through each layer methodically, looking for indications of errors through any process output or log files (tip, you can use `ls -latr ./log` to list logs with the most recently modified at the bottom, so its easier to find which logs get written to at each step).

Sorry we can't immediately fix the issue. We know Alaveteli can be a bit hard work to get up and running, but having these conversations in public really helps us understand where the struggles are and how to improve the experience.

Best,

Gareth

Hi Gareth,

Please find below a screen dump of my attempts to follow your instructions. I am normally a Windows Admin type, so i have to scramble around a bit to try to work out how to carry out your requests. I am happy with providing feedback in trying to get this instance running, but can i ask if you or a member of your team have been able to get a fresh instance running using the latest edition of one of the Linux versions? I was thinking of installing a known working version on my HyperV VM platform to see if somehow something in the AWS platform is what is giving so much grief.

Hi Gareth,

I wonder if anyone else is seeing this issue. I have recently started seeing the following message displayed in the forms input box on the website:-

"This form is not secure. Autofill has been turned off."

This is despite the fact that the site is on https, and the certificate is still valid.

The website is on https://fixmyarea4us.org.

The certificate is scheduled to expire next month - September 2021.

Regards,

Michael Fabunmi

Hi, this error normally means the page has some external resource which is loaded via http instead of https.

Hope this helps,

Hi Graeme,

I have attached some screenshots. It looks like the certificate might have automatically rolled over, but has not been properly configured to exclusively be used to redirect all http connections to HTTPS. I will have to look into it. However, if there is a handy link to what needs to be changed, that will really help.

Cheers,
Michael Fabunmi

The website is on https://fixmyarea4us.org.

That page's forms point to the non-https version of your address, which is the direct cause of your error.
