LinuxMint 20.04 Installation issues

[gokiwi]

Hi, Trying to install on LM20.04 but am hitting issues.

I have both PostgreSQL and MySQL installed - have installed the driver for PostgreSQL as when I try and install the driver for MySQL it says

sudo apt-get install netxms-dbdrv-mysql
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree     
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package netxms-dbdrv-mysql

I then try "/usr/local/bin/nxdbmgr init" but get
/user/local/bin/nxdbmgr init
bash: /user/local/bin/nxdbmgr: No such file or directory

Also I dont see anywhere where it says how to launch the webgui ?

MySQL driver is not available on Ubuntu / Mint 20. You can use mariadb driver instead, it's compatible.

If you installed server from packages, nxdbmgr should be in /use/bin (and it's in default path)

Web UI - install jetty or tomcat, then deploy nxmc.war from the web site.

Hi , Thanks for the quick response - unfortunately it still doesn't work - Ive done a fresh install of 20.04  and a fresh install of Netxms. The provided instructions are both wrong and confusing .

I now get the following errors

sudo /usr/bin/nxdbmgr init
NetXMS Database Manager Version 3.4.232 Build 3.4-232-g55c414782e (UNICODE)

Unable to load and initialize database driver ""

and

sudo systemctl start netxms-server
Failed to start netxms-server.service: Unit netxms-server.service not found.

Postgresql is running and listening on port 5432

What's in /etc/netxmsd.conf?
When installed, netxms-server package show following message:

NetXMS server is installed but currently stopped.

Additional steps required:

1. Edit default configuration file (/etc/netxmsd.conf)

2. Load database schema

   nxdbmgr init

3. Start daemon with command:

   systemctl start netxms-server

I've updated installation guide a bit, it should be pushed to to web soon.

Hi, Again thanks for the reply.

I did somehow get it working briefly last night , but then today LM 20.04 had some updates that required a reboot and now it doesn't work again.

The daemon I think is running.

sudo systemctl status netxmsd

Jul 30 15:44:22 Hampton-Downs systemd[1]: Starting NetXMS Server...
Jul 30 15:44:22 Hampton-Downs systemd[1]: Started NetXMS Server.

But when I try to login via ncmc I get

Connection Error - Access denied.

I have followed the instructions to reset the password (which seemed to be successful)

[alk]

"nxdbmgr reset-system-account" unlock account "system", not "admin".
Login as system/netxms, then change password for user admin in user manager and re-lock user "system"
