Hi
I am fresh here and downloaded Open Energy Monitor from Github.
But what I am missing is the setup.php. I made a database but couldn’t find the sql for it.
Bert
you have to rename or copy/rename the default.settings.php file to settings.php
in there the first lines allow you to set the database logins
From there on it should go easy
Hello Eric
That’s what I did. But which script create the tables in the database?
Bert
The mySQL tables are automatically created when you register the first user.

Hi Paul
I checked and it created the tables.
But the login was not saved. The user table is empty.
Bert
That’s odd, how did you create the first user? via the “register” button at the login screen?
If there was no user created/saved then the “register” button should still work, try again. The “register” button will disappear after the first user is created unless you set $enable_multi_user = true; in settings.php.
Can I do a new register?
Delete the tables?
Bert
No, you shouldn’t need to delete anything, you shouldn’t need to touch the mySQL at all.
It should be as easy as
- install emoncms
- navigate to http://server/emoncms and click register
- add name, email and a new password, via the browser.
- enjoy emoncms.
You do not need to touch the tables it all taken care of automatically.
If the register button isn’t there because of something you have previously done then retry the login details you previously tried to set up as the button will only disappear after the first user is successfully created.
Ok Paul
But first I want to say I am trying this on local host.
Bert
Ok so http://localhost/emoncms should work (or just http://localhost depending on how you configured it).
Paul
I am getting the message “undefined”
Bert
Had this problem first time I installed
In the instal directory there is a .htaccess file but on some computers these files are hidden and when you ftp them up to the server, you just forget to upload that file
It contains all the redirects for apache and this undefined error ‘might’ originate in missing the redirects
If you can unhide your files, do so else make a new file (on root level where you installed emoncms and call it .htaccess) on the host with the following code
# Apache/PHP/Emoncms settings:
#
# Set the default handler.
DirectoryIndex index.php

But I am installing on localhost. I think no problems with the .htaccess file then.
Bert
localhost or remote host, it is still Apache and Apache needs to know where to go for some files. .htaccess tells it where to find them. Just try that already.
Eric
Yes I tried and it didn’t solved the problem
Bert
Someone else also had a problem being on Debian
here is the thread in case you’re also on Debian
Eric
I am on Windows
Bert
I’m afraid I have never installed on Windows, so may not be able to help much.
Have you enabled “mod_rewrite” ?
have you been following this windows install guide? (I’m unsure how up to date it is)
This getting started with emoncms | Archived Forum might help too. You also need gettext (or at least, used to need it).
I switched to Linux when Win 8 appeared, so I’m no longer up to date on Wampserver, though I did write it up somewhere in Building Blocks, if my memory serves. Try searching there and the old forum if you’re still stuck.
Where can I find the script for registering?
I am using PhpEd (Nusphere) and maybe I can debug this.
