I went into hospital for a month, come back and concerto won't run. Tried several fixes but got nothing. The surgery was on my foot, but feel like a lobotomy as I've reinstalled everything (LAMP on ubuntu 18 and 16) and get nothing. I can't really get to a straight answer after installation from this forum. Could somebody please lead me to a what to do after install so I can troubleshoot? this is to be ready to deploy next week.

What do you mean "you get nothing"?  Error messages and logs would help.  /var/log/apache2/error.log /usr/share/concerto/log/production.log

Your post came in while I was typing mine about the latest updates breaking concerto. Your problem may be related. I broke my initial install totally and reinstalled from scratch, restoring a mysql backup from the first install. That didn't work, but rolling the packages listed in my other post back to the previous versions I was running got it going again.

Finally got apache configured and got an error from passenger. Looked it up and ruby can't install MagickWand. Have tried various suggestions but keep getting rmagick (2.16.0 and bundler cannot continue. Anybody got this fixed? Didn't have this problem with initial install of concerto last year.

Can you send me a screenscrape of the error, or that log file that it mentions?

This shows the error logs and the same error in terminal. Am looking into the brew method, but not clear about the .bash_profile.

To be clear, I don't think you'd be using the brew method because that is for Macs.  I think you just need to load the libs needed for the Ubuntu solution that was listed.

sudo apt-get install imagemagick librmagick-ruby ruby-rmagick libmagickcore-dev libmagickwand-dev

I don't know if this will help, but.... I've struggled to get things working on Ubuntu 18... 

These are the steps I use to create a clean install on Ubuntu 17.10 server;

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install concerto-full
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/concerto.conf
sudo a2ensite concerto
sudo a2dissite 000-default
sudo systemctl reload apache2
sudo apt-get install libreoffice
sudo apt-get install imagemagick
sudo apt-get install -y dirmngr gnupg
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 561F9B9CAC40B2F7
sudo apt-get install -y apt-transport-https ca-certificates
sudo sh -c 'echo deb https://oss-binaries.phusionpassenger.com/apt/passenger xenial main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/passenger.list'
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y libapache2-mod-passenger
sudo a2enmod passenger
sudo apache2ctl restart
cd /usr/share/concerto/
sudo RAILS_ENV=production /usr/share/concerto/bin/bundle install
sudo RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile

Glad I could help.... It drove me mad for ages because I didn't want to run it from the virtual image.

Would you two gents mind expanding on "I don't want to run it in a VM"?

Cause I'm writing the User Manual right now, and my advice to people is "Run the VM, unless you just can't (no hardware for VM) or you have a specific reason not to want to."

For me its the fact that I'm using hardware that would not really be effective with the VM. It is easy (VERY), but I'm using pc's that really can't handle it as effectively. Plus, I had trouble sorting this out, and I'm not new to linux, but am to ruby, and have to get non Linux folks to be able to do things like updates, etc.

It's just my best practice to run from a clean image, I do actually run from a VM (I've actually got a few instances running on different virtual platforms)
