@JaredBusch on a side topic, have you tried updating with the installation script that they have for the installer?

I haven't had a chance to dig back into it, but I wasn't able to figure out how others were staying current.

Is that the official method for updating?

There isn't one as far as I could find, I was trying to figure out what the process should be.

Its easier to stay current using the first option.
https://snipe-it.readme.io/docs/downloading

git clone https://github.com/snipe/snipe-it your-folder
To update moving forward, you'll just run git pull to grab the latest.

I started using that when I moved to Fedora.

I agree, but the installation script does a lot, it would be weird to have to go outside of that to perform updates. git was why they built the installation script (it was to difficult for people to grasps)

This is a horrible install method because it does nothing to install the pieces needed.

That is the entire point of the shell script. you get everything as needed.

So what they should do is have the shell script pull the files with git instead of downloading and extracting the package.

If the process is just a git pull that'd be one thing, but nothing in the documentation (as far as I could find) says that.

no. that is the process to update the code. only if you had originally checked out the code via git.

The script does not do that. It downloads the tar.gz file and extracts the code.

		echo -e "\n##  Downloading Snipe-IT from github and put it in the web directory.";

		log "wget -P $tmp/ https://github.com/snipe/snipe-it/archive/$file"
		log "unzip -qo $tmp/$file -d $tmp/"
		log "cp -R $tmp/$fileName $webdir/$name"

I have no idea why when the script pulls from git on debian.

		echo -e "\n* Cloning Snipeit, extracting to $webdir/$name..."
		log "git clone https://github.com/snipe/snipe-it $webdir/$name" & pid=$!

I mean FFS, they are already installed a ton of dependencies on CentOS 7 so just install git as well, FFS.

Yes a double FFS was needed.

@JaredBusch I'm on centos as well for this install.

As for this part

Yes, I understand.

Which is why I'm a bit confused on the update process.

You download the archive and extract it over the top of the current files.

Then you run the update commands, I assume as the apache user (not noted in the instructions).

php composer.phar install --no-dev --prefer-source
php composer.phar dump-autoload
php artisan migrate
php artisan config:clear
php artisan config:cache

They updated the installer to handle SELinux. I shoudl try again without setenforce 0 sometime.

          	#Check if SELinux is enforcing
	       	if [ "$(getenforce)" == "Enforcing" ]; then
	 	       #Add SELinux and firewall exception/rules.
		       #Required for ldap integration
	       	       setsebool -P httpd_can_connect_ldap on
	 	       #Sets SELinux context type so that scripts running in the web server process are allowed read/write access
	 	       chcon -R -h -t httpd_sys_script_rw_t $webdir/$name/
 	       	fi

Even more than a double FFS is needed because they ARE INSTALLING GIT

The level of WTF FFS is so high right now......

Pull request submitted.. just holy WTF....

In theory I could have modified the CentOS 6 section also, but I have no easy way to test that so I skipped it.

I got Snipe-IT on CentOS 7 up and running using the above commands and scripts. I'm a bit stuck on getting ldap to work though. I get 'can't contact server' even though doing a manual ldapsearch query on the server works without a problem. 'Test LDAP' on Snipe-IT settings page fails with 'can't contact server'.

I tried looking for logs and such but the only one I could find was laravel log, which only logs login attempts.

Is there a trick to getting ldap to work? Any help would be hugely appreciated

You might have to turn on httpd_can_connect_ldap
setsebool -P httpd_can_connect_ldap on;

You sir, are an absolute genius! I spent hours searching online but didn't see a single mention of that command. Did I miss it somewhere obvious??

I don't suppose you have another trick up your sleeve for getting mail to work? No matter what I try, I get a "Swift_TransportException in StreamBuffer.php line 269: Connection could not be established with host. Permission denied #13".

Tried using internal SMTP relay as well as 365 mail and same permission denied error.

JaredBusch

Same thing

setsebool -P httpd_can_sendmail on

BoardinJunky

@jaredbusch damn. I've not seen those commands mentioned anywhere. That did the trick to get around the permission thing. Could you point me in the direction of where the mail logs get created? laravel log doesn't show any.

~~I'm getting a 'Success! Link has been sent', but no email is actually received and not sure where to trace it down further.~~

Nevermind! It's up and running! Thank you!

It's weird because their script has the SELinux stuff in it.

Well one of the earlier posts breaks that process because we said to setenforce 0 prior to running the script.

But yeah, that would work if you did not disable it first.

Ah missed that ok.
