Install Invoice Ninja v5 on Ubuntu 20.04

david · July 25, 2022, 10:28pm

This looks like an issue with the migration. Can you check the dateformat table in the database to see if it populated?

You may need to run


php artisan migrate:fresh --seed

So I was running as docker on UnRAID for v4. Got v5 up, but creator didn’t test email, and said he doesnt use email on his. So I think his is broke. Anyways, trying to get v5 working with Ubunutu.

I already have a Nginx docker setup on UnRAID, am I able to pass from that install to the ninja installs nginx server, or do i need to route it to a separate public IP address?

This will be the 4th or 5th time trying to get it working. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

There is a thread here that may help

Unable to get it work on Unraid Server (V5)

unraid server

Hello everyone, I've been trying for several hours to make the docker work un…der Unraid, but I can't reach the configuration page. The database is created (MariaDB) I get the error: ERR_CONNECTION_RESET I put below the configuration of the docker : ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/63404022/99910343-b5914580-2ced-11eb-9eba-827c1f47cb4a.png) Is there something badly configured? Thanks

Thanks @david ,

I will try that after I try to get it working on Ubuntu if it doesnt work. Since its the recommended way, I rather try get v5 working there. I got it up, looks like I have permission errors as I am getting. really appreciate your help

It is hard to make out the console error, but it looks like a connection refused error?

smartkid808 · January 12, 2023, 11:20pm

Hi @david, thanks, yes it is. I am thinking its permission issue or some sort of security setting somewhere (I’m not a Linux guy, so just been googleing around).

david · January 12, 2023, 11:39pm

There is a problem most likely in the configuration of your vhost for this domain. Your server is refusing all connections.

you’ll want to inspect the nginx logs to see why it is not happy.

smartkid808 · January 13, 2023, 12:06am

Thanks. Thats one thing I was thinking about as well. Let me check the logs, I am running apache. if I cant figure it out ill try nginix.

And then once the prerequisites are ready, you need to go to http://your.domain.com/setup for the initial setup wizard (if you just try to access http://your.domain.com without initial setup you will get error 500 and if you turn on debug you’ll see it’s due to all the tables missing).

trying to setup/install invoiceninja from github.
strong text
my test url
http://161.35.5.174/invoiceninja/

this gets a default login form.

I’ve seen something of a register/setup form, but I cant figure out what I’ve screwed up.
http://161.35.5.174/invoiceninja/setup
gets the same default page

so, since I’m using Apache/ubuntu, does anyone have any pointers?

thanks
