To get developing straight away use the pre-configured Docker environment and follow the steps below. Docker needs to be installed on your machine for this to work. Follow the Docker installation steps for your environment here https://docs.docker.com/install
-
Clone the codebase from Github
git clone https://github.com/Attendize/Attendize -
Change directory to the cloned codebase
cd Attendize -
Make a copy of the laravel environment file. It can be useful to set APP_DEBUG=true to help you debug any issues you might have
cp .env.example .env -
Set permissions correctly on storage and public/user_content folders
chmod -R a+w storagechmod -R a+w public/user_content -
Run the docker-compose build command
docker-compose build -
Run composer to pull in the various dependencies for the project
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/usr/share/nginx/html/attendize attendize_composer composer install -
Run the Laravel generate a key for the app
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/usr/share/nginx/html/attendize attendize_php php artisan key:generate -
Run docker-compose up to create the development environment. You can drop the -d flag to see output from the containers which is useful for debugging.
docker-compose up -d
At this point you should be able to browse to
http://localhost:8080.
You can follow the web instructions to continue installing Attendize. If you are comfortable on the command line you can run Step 9 below.
- Run the command to create the various database tables
docker-compose run php php artisan attendize:install
Attendize should now be available at http://localhost:8080 and maildev at http://localhost:1080
To be able to test the journey of buying and paying for tickets from the event page you need to have a payment gateway enabled else you can't complete the journey. To enable the dummy gateway that allows you to go through the journey end to end change the configuration option enable_dummy_payment_gateway in ./config/attendize.php to true
'enable_dummy_payment_gateway' => true
Attendize should run on most pre-configured LAMP or LEMP environments as long as certain requirements are adhered to.
PHP >= 5.5.9 OpenSSL PHP Extension PDO PHP Extension Mbstring PHP Extension Tokenizer PHP Extension Fileinfo PHP Extension GD PHP Extension
MySQL version 5.6 and 5.7 have been tested
Most versions should work. Check the troubleshooting guide below for correct Nginx and Apache configurations.
In the .env file set APP_DEBUG=true. The log files contained in storage/logs should contain a useful error message.
Most problems can be fixed my making sure the following files and folders are writable by your webserver user:
storage/app/
storage/framework/
storage/logs/
storage/cache/
public/user_content/
bootstrap/cache/
.env
Always check the logfile in storage/logs as it will likely show you what the problem is.
-
Attendize needs to be configured to send email using SMTP. If it can't send email it will log the exception in storage/logs if APP_DEBUG=true is set in the .env file. The SMTP settings can be found in the .env.
-
Attendize uses Wkhtml2PDF to generate tickets. If you are getting errors while generating PDFs make sure all the driver files in vendor\nitmedia\wkhtml2pdf\src\Nitmedia\Wkhtml2pdf\lib executable.
Also make sure the setting for WKHTML2PDF_BIN_FILE is correct in the .env file. The acceptable options are:
- wkhtmltopdf-0.12.1-OS-X.i386 - Mac OS X 10.8+ (Carbon),
- 32-bitwkhtmltopdf-amd64 - Linux (Debian Wheezy),
- 64-bit, for recent distributions (i.e. glibc 2.13 or later)
- wkhtmltopdf-i386 - Linux (Debian Wheezy), 32-bit, for recent distributions (i.e. glibc 2.13 or later)
This error can occur when the session expires, try refreshing the page.
Try navigating to your-site.com/public/. If that works and your-site.com/ doesn't, it means your server configuration needs to be updated.
Make sure the mod_rewrite module is enabled and the .htaccess file is being recognised.
On Nginx, use the following directive in your site configuration: location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string; }
This appears to occur when xdebug is enabled.
Adding: xdebug.max_nesting_level = 200 to php.ini and restarting apache should solve the issue.
