Canvas Commons Setup

[ally1]

Hello,

Is it possible to configure Commons in Canvas installed from git repository? Or it is benefits of using just paid version of Canvas?

I have tried to use this tutorial: https://community.canvaslms.com/servlet/JiveServlet/previewBody/4473-102-1-15014/InstructureSelfHostedCanvasCommonsSetup.pdf

but faced with the error "We were unable to add the app." when tried to add new App in Canvas LMS.

Thanks for the advice.

It looks like the dashes in the Config URL found the setup document got converted to unicode soft hyphens. So if you copy directly from the setup document the url is wrong. I will investigate how the document is being published and get that corrected, but for now try using the following for the Config URL:

https://lor.instructure.com/api/v1/self-hosted-setup/tool-config

Hello,

Thanks brentburg ! This step was passed. Bet the new issue appeared.

When I entered: "Client ID" and "Client Secret (Key)" as it showed in screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kv62pg9npz6t2nn/2015-11-03_16-59_Account%20Settings.jpg?dl=0 next click "Continue setup".

New window appears: https://www.dropbox.com/s/v54xnqi3w6iqcqi/2015-11-03_17-01_Account%20Settings.jpg?dl=0 As manual says we need log in to the Commons via Canvas if it asks. When I click to he "Authorize" I get: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3wazuas99z8ljip/2015-11-03_17-01_Account%20Settings%282%29.jpg?dl=0

Did you meet similar problem? Thanks.

I'm adding the app using the URL above and I'm still getting a Couldn't add app error. When I paste the URL in the browser I get: Cannot GET /api/v1/self-hosted-setup/tool-config .

What's going on?

[btsimon97]

Nevermind. Strip out the v1 part of the URL, that is no longer valid.

Sounds like you got things figured out? If not, feel free to reopen.

High Everyone! I am having a related issue. I can get through to authorizing. but I just get a token failed JSON response. I authenticated through a cloud site that has access to commons. I added that email to my site admin and tried again and still this is what I get. Thanks in advance. {"errors":[{"msg":"Token request failed"}]}

I know this thread is little old, but I am running into similar issue. When I click Configure on step 19 in this PDF, I am getting this error: Configuration Error Sorry, there is a problem in your Canvas/Commons configuration. Please notify your Canvas administrator.
