Writing Meta-data to file when downloading

[Gaute B. Iversen]

Hi,

I need help getting meta data entered into RS to be written to files at download. Anyone can help me with a quick guide, or point me in the right direction?

Here are links to a couple of pages in the Knowledge Base that might help.

Having some difficulty installing the latest release of ResourceSpace on
Ubuntu 19.10.

Specifically, the Installation check on the setup page says "GD version:
Not installed (FAIL).

I have PHP Version 7.3.11-0 . I have tried various apt-get install
incantations from the web, to no avail. Can anyone offer a suggestion here?

Thanks

Peter Payzant

I didn’t try it. Use ubuntu 18.04 or Centod 7,3

Charlie, thanks for the suggestion, but a complete re-install of the OS would be a huge job. I'm hoping that there is someone out there who has already solved this problem with Ubuntu 19.10.

Well I’m sure you can research to install older version of php and GD library

Perhasp I don’t know other of your requirements rement s but a fresh installation of ubuntu un a new server shouldn’t take more than 30 minutes...

It's normally just:

apt-get install php-gd

...then restart Apache.

That definitely didn't work?

[Peter Payzant]

Thanks, Dan - restarting Apache was the missing step. It doesn't seem to
be mentioned on the page I was following:

https://www.resourcespace.com/knowledge-base/systemadmin/install_ubuntu

... but I suppose that most people would automatically do that anyway.

Regards

Still wrestling with the initial setup of ResourceSpace. The installation check shows everything OK. However, in the Database Configuration section I'm seeing the following:

There is nothing else in the way of a "detailed error message".

I can log in to the MySQL server at the command line, on the local host, using the username and password given in the dialogue box above. The database name is "resourcespace". The grants for user "resourcespace" are

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `resourcespace`.* TO `resourcespace`@`%`

I've tried the installation process in both FireFox and Chrome.

I should say that this is the fourth ResourceSpace installation I've set up, so it's not entirely a new process to me.

After spending several hours on this, I just know that it's going to be something obvious which I'm no longer seeing!

Got it.

A trivial PHP script:

<?php
$servername ="localhost";
$username = "resourcespace";
$password = "[my pw]";

$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password);
if ($conn->connect_error) {
  die("Connection failed: " . $conn-connect_error);
}
echo "connected OK";
?>

returned the error message "The server requested authentication method unknown to the client". After some research, I changed the mysql authentication plugin:

mysql> ALTER USER 'resourcespace'@'%' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY '[my pw]';

This allowed the little test script, and ResourceSpace, to connect to the database.

It is possible to set the default authentication plugin to "mysql_native_password" in the mysql configuration files, but I haven't experimented with this.

It would have been helpful to have more complete information about the error displayed on the "setup.php" page. Outlining the server host name in red was not much use.
