Are you getting error in creating company name?

You need to Turn OFF the MySQL Strict Mode.

• Goto phpmyadmin
• Look at the top and towards the right for variables. Click on that then either scroll down to SQL mode or use the filter. Hover over the row SQL mode and Click on edit button

STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION

Change to:

NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION

To Disable Strict mode on mysql for Centos/Fedora : –

# vim /etc/my.conf

# sql_mode=NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION,STRICT_TRANS_TABLES

Change to

# sql_mode=””

To Disable Strict mode on mysql for Ubuntu :-

# vim /etc/mysql/conf.d/disable_strict_mode.cnf

and enter those two lines on it:=

sql_mode=IGNORE_SPACE,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,NO_ZERO_DATE,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,
NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION

Then restart the mysql server:-

# sudo service mysql restart

Why I got this “4 simple steps to get started with Orangescrum” page?

If you see this “4 simple steps to get started with OrangeScrum” message, then it seems a database connection error.

Check the following steps to resolve the issue:

• Check your database connection properly & make sure you have provided the correct credentials.
• Change the collation to ‘utf8’ instead of ‘utf8_unicode_ci’ or vice versa
• Check the Path of the Orangescrum Folder & make sure you have provided the same path in the Constants.php inside the app/Config folder.
• Also check & make sure you have write permission (777 or 755) to “app/tmp” and “app/webroot” folders.

If you still face the issue, then please contact us for consultant’s help.

Why my Quick Signup page is breaking after installation?

It is either due to htaccess or file permission issue.

• Provide proper write permission to ” app/tmp “, ” app/webroot ” and ” app/Config ” folders and their sub folders. Provide either 777 or 755 permission to the mentioned folders.

If still you face the same issue, then check your htaccess permission.

To enable htaccess in CentOS server

Why I am unable to invite Users?

It seems you’ve not configured the SMTP. Navigate to app/Config/constants.php or install the PHPMailer add-on to configure your SMTP.

Once you configured, you can follow the below steps to check whether you’ve successfully configured the SMTP or not:

Run the following URL on your browser:

Note: Use your OrangeScrum URL instead of DOMAINNAME.

http://DOMAINNAME/cron/test_email/?to=emailId

Example:

http://localhost/orangescrum/cron/test_email/?to=emailId (if you are using localhost)

http://127.0.0.1/orangescrum/cron/test_email/?to=emailId (if you are using IP)

http://myprojects.orangescrum.com/cron/test_email/?to=emailId (if you are using any valid domain)

If the email is not working then please follow the installation guide again.
