Installing emoncms on local servers

Hello, I have been using Emoncms on PI for many years, now i want to install multi user server on ubuntu. All is fine and and the inputs and database work. Now i want to install group module and get errors. Also the email took a long time to fix. And now i have installed the Task module but cant find process module that is required.

can someone help?

Hello @dori Im not sure that the task module is up to date with the latest emoncms version, It was a development by carbon coop here GitHub - carboncoop/task: An emonCMS module it looks like the last updates were 2-3 years ago. Might be worth raising an issue there but not sure if its still in development now

Hi Trystan

I will check that. What about the group module, the gui is not showing and there is no menu showing.

The group module should work, are you using latest master branch of both core are the group module?

Hi
Im using this

is that correct?

@dori did you install emoncms using git?

version of emoncms core:

/var/www/emoncms/version.txt

version of the group module:

/var/www/emoncms/Modules/group/module.json

Hello

My directory is /var/www/emoncmsorg/emoncms end there is no file “version.txt”

The modus file says “Name” : Group and “version” : 2.0.0

Hello @dori

I would use the emoncms repository rather than the emoncmsorg repository. The latest version of emoncms.org is closer to the main emoncms repository now and I still need to update the emoncmsorg repository which is lagging behind a bit now.

You will get the best results if you use our EmonScripts install script on a debian server GitHub - openenergymonitor/EmonScripts: Emoncms Stack Installation and Update scripts.

Ok, Will I have the https support and multi user functionality.?

yes both are covered by the standard repository

you need to add

enable_multi_user = true

in the interface section of settings.ini

https is independent of emoncms , e.g you could use letsencrypt?

Hi TrystanLea

Do I then not use the input_qeue_processor or the storageserver0 code. I already have inputs and feeds in the system. Do I have to reconfigure that?

Hello @dori, how many accounts and feeds are you hosting on this server? Have you been running the server for a long time?

Hello TrystanLea

I have about 8 accounts and 50 feeds for 15 days. The old data is now
working in the new server. I have php 7.3 and now the email is not
working. I have installed SwiftMailer as instructed.

ERROR>email.php|check() Could not find SwiftMailer, email functions are
ignored.

great, where did you install swiftmailer? Do you have the /opt/emoncms/modules directory structure?

Yes we followed the instruction in the Lib/email.php file.

Hi

How can we debug this email error, SwiftMailer can send messages with a small test program. So it is emoncms code not finding the right path?

Im not sure what is going wrong Im afraid.

The error that you are seeing is coming from this line: emoncms/email.php at master · emoncms/emoncms · GitHub and so the !$this->have_swift condition must be satisfied.

It should have loaded swift here: emoncms/email.php at master · emoncms/emoncms · GitHub

$this->have_swift = @include_once("$linked_modules_dir/swiftmailer/lib/swift_required.php");

One possibility is that $linked_modules_dir is incorrect on your system.

$linked_modules_dir is set here emoncms/process_settings.php at master · emoncms/emoncms · GitHub and should be /opt/emoncms/modules

Is the file /opt/emoncms/modules/swiftmailer/lib/swift_required.php present on your system?

Ok, it gives me /home/pi as the $linked_modules_dir ?

Thanks @dori are you using settings.ini or a settings.php file to configure?

Hi

I believe settins.php but there is also settins.ini in my folder.
