Instead of updating an existing server I have tried to install the AT 0.5.0 from scratch on an Ubuntu 16.04.5 server.
I installed the prerequisites:
- git v2.7.4
- node v8.11.4
- npm v6.4.1
- grunt-cli v1.3.1
- ffmpeg v2.8.15
- mongod v4.0.2
After installing all this I checked the MongoDB status ("service mongod status"):
● mongod.service - MongoDB Database Server
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/mongod.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
Docs: https://docs.mongodb.org/manual
I then started it using "service mongod start" and status is now:
● mongod.service - MongoDB Database Server
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/mongod.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: active (running) since Tue 2018-09-04 13:21:42 UTC; 6s ago
Docs: https://docs.mongodb.org/manual
Main PID: 1856 (mongod)
Tasks: 26
Memory: 175.5M
CPU: 1.848s
CGroup: /system.slice/mongod.service
└─1856 /usr/bin/mongod --config /etc/mongod.conf
I then run:
git clone https://github.com/adaptlearning/adapt_authoring.git
npm install --production
node install
node server
Starting the server yields:
/adapt_authoring# node server

If I edit the "adapt_authoring/conf/config.json" and set these to empty:
"dbUser": "",
"dbPass": "",
then starting the server yields:

One thing I noticed was that the "adapt_authoring/temp/adapt_framework/" path, where it tries to find a "package.json" file, is non-existing.
I always assumed that it was created during the install (and it seems that the server script assumes the same).
I have tried some variations to this theme, but it seems to end the same way.
Can anybody spot an error in the procedure, or does anyone have experience with the error messages above?
