Большущее спасибо!!! Пытался поставить прямо на ВМ testlink, то стили не подгружались, то сыпал кучу ошибок по php, зашел на этот туториал - всё встало. Правда пара моментов: 1. Может я не заметил, но надо было прям зайти в бд и высавить root пароль к после создания, а то access denied показывал docker exec -it testlink-code_mysql_testlink_1 mysql -u root -p 2. Способ с изменением end_exec_ts в таблице не помог, а вот второй уже помог. Огроменнейшая благодарность.

You are very welcome. Google said the translation is "Thanks a lot. It worked!" I hope it is correct :)

[@rodrigoec1028]

Hi! You just saved my life, thank you

[@SuperSQA]

You're welcome!

[@RarelyMediocre]

good and easy to follow tutorial! Thanks a lot for the efort! I did run into a minor issue as the last command of the build script did not execute properly, the ownership was root:root and the testlink Read/write permissions section was partially FAILED. I fixed it by manually chown the directory to www-data and refreshing the testlink page, after what the Read/write permissions went to green/OK. Keep up the good work!

[@SuperSQA]

Thank you I will. Good job doing some engineering work and resolving the issue you faced.

What does [DEV] mean next to the version number 1.9.20?

[@paulorobertoperondi3364]

Muito obrigado. Funcionou muito bem! Quando do erro do script de criação das tabelas, a tua alteração não surte efeito pois deveria alterar o script dentro do container, que é o que a aplicação está usando; Ou dar um rebuild depois de alterar. Mas na verdade, eu simplesmente voltei para a página anterior e tentei criar a base novamente, sem alterar nada e funcionou!.

Can I connect SQL without workbench

[@SuperSQA]

Yes MySQL WorkBench is just one of the available clients. It is the most popular one. But you can search for 'mysql client' and use whatever you like.

[@Gauravvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv]

Last command is not working in build script I'm using ec2 instance amazon linux

[@SuperSQA]

when you say 'not working' please explain what the error is. what does 'not working mean'? And also what is the command that is not working? I am happy to help but you should provide more info.

[@Gauravvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv]

[@mathanbabu7863]

Hii! Please make a video for the integration with bugzilla 😢. My problem is when I tried to add the existing bug with testlink, it throw an connection error😑. Please help me🥺

[@SuperSQA]

Have you looked at the logs? May be if you post the actual exception here I can try to figure out what is wrong.

[@marouaellouze2787]

Thks it's so helpful, but I got this failure when trying to continue installation via GUI - Checking if /var/www/html/gui/templates_c directory is writable (by user used to run webserver process) FAILED - Checking if /var/testlink/logs/ directory is writable (by user used to run webserver process) FAILED

[@SuperSQA]

That issue is also covered in the video. You have to make the folders writeable by the user. Please re-watch the first few minutes of the video to solve the issue.
