Adapt Learning Community: Authoring Tool installation help needed!

Hi everyone,

I really want to install the authoring tool of Adapt to make an e-learning for a school project. I have tried to install it all weekend, but I seem to get stuck on the last steps. I have installed the following prerequisites:

git version 2.19.0

node version:v8.12.0

NPM version:6.4.1

Mongod version: db version v4.0.3

git version: 7ea530946fa7880364d88c8d8b6026bbc9ffa48c

I am stuck at the fourth step of the installation procedure (node install). When I run the command I get the following output:

ip-145-116-154-55:~ annevlaanderen$ cd /Users/annevlaanderen/Desktop/adapt_authoring-master/adapt_authoring

ip-145-116-154-55:adapt_authoring annevlaanderen$ node install

This script will install the application.

Would you like to continue?

We need to configure the tool before install.

> Server port (5000)

> Server name (localhost)

> Database host (localhost)

> Master database name (adapt-tenant-master)

> Database server port (27017)

> Database server user annevlaanderen

> Database server password

> Database server authentication database (admin)

> Data directory path (data)

> Session secret (value used when saving session cookie data) (your-session-secret)

> Git repository URL to be used for the authoring tool source code (https://github.com/adaptlearning/adapt_authoring.git)

> Git repository URL to be used for the framework source code (https://github.com/adaptlearning/adapt_framework.git)

> Specific git revision to be used for the framework. Accepts any valid revision type (e.g. branch/tag/commit) (tags/v2.2.5)

> Are you using ffmpeg? y/N (N) N

> Will you be using an SMTP server? (used for sending emails) y/N (N) N

Now we need to configure the master tenant.

\ Starting server

(node:3341) DeprecationWarning: current URL string parser is deprecated, and will be removed in a future version. To use the new parser, pass option { useNewUrl| Starting server

Can someone please help me and tell me what I am doing wrong? I have absolutely no knowledge of programming..

Many thanks in advance!

Anne

Anne - I get the same parser warning (see below) on # node server but it does not stop the server from running. If you ignore the warning and head to step 5 does the server run?

Hi Craig,

No, it doesn't run. When I ignore the parser warning and just run node server I get the following:

It does not find the temp/adapt_framework/package.json files. Which is true, since I do not have an temp and adapt_framework folder in the adapt_authoring folder? Did I do something wrong? How can I fix this. Also, it gives a MongoError: Authentication failed, I have no idea how to solve this either?

Best,

Anne

Are you in a restricted network?

Hi Anne,

Did you set up your Mongo database to use authentication? Everything looks to have gone ok until the point that the install script tries to add data to the DB.

Mongo Log File.txt

Hello, I think I am running into the same problem. One thing i noticed is that in the MongoDB log file, the user that is trying to authenticate is whatever I entered in the install script, plus "@admin". So if my MongoDB username is "MongoDB", and i enter that in the install step, then my MongoDB log file shows "Supported SASL mechanisms requested for unknown user 'MongoDB@admin'", and the next line includes " Could not find user MongoDB@admin". Is that the expected username? I do show that there is a DB in my mongo called "admin". I tried manually adding users with same username and password, but no luck. I am also running Mongo as a windows service, and am even running that as an admin user with the same username and password just in case. I attached an output from the console and my mongodb log file. Thanks for any help or insight you could offer!
