Problem with installation - antiword, pdftotext, html2text and unrtf executable binaries does not exist

shantadam commented 6 years ago

Expected behavior and actual behavior.

OpenCATS installation's step 4 should pass, as such:

It should locate, find and execute antiword binary at the user's specified system directory path.
It should locate, find and execute pdftotext binday at the user's specified system directory path.
It should locate, find and execute html2text at the user's specified system directory path.
It should locate, find and execute unrtf at the user's specified system directory path.

Steps to reproduce the problem.

Download the master version zip file.
Extract , setup and configure the host directory.
Point your browser to the host site.
Start the installation process.
Step through step 1, 2 and 3.
Define step 4's antiword, pdftotext, html2text and unrtf binary file's paths.
Run the step 4's test by clicking "Test Configuration" button.

What's your hosting environment?

shantadam commented 6 years ago

CentOS release 6.10 (Final)
MySQL 14.14 Distrib 5.1.73
PHP 5.3.3 (cli)

P.S.: Sentora panel is installed to manage the server.

cptr13 commented 6 years ago

OK. But you're self hosting? On a laptop or server, not a shared hosting environment like go daddy?

Did you install the resume indexing tools?

Install resume indexing tools $ sudo wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/home:/Kenzy:/modified:/C7/CentOS_7/x86_64/antiword-0.37-20.1.x86_64.rpm $ sudo rpm -ivh antiword-0.37-20.1.x86_64.rpm $ sudo wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/h/html2text-1.3.2a-14.el7.x86_64.rpm $ sudo rpm -ivh html2text-1.3.2a-14.el7.x86_64.rpm $ sudo yum install poppler poppler-utils unrtf If you want to remove the files after you have installed them then do: * $ sudo rm antiword-0.37-20.1.x86_64.rpm html2text-1.3.2a-14.el7.x86_64.rpm

Php 5.3.3 isn't a supported version, and you seem to have some unusual configuration in PHP as the errors aren't letting you search in /usr

.. So fix both of them, install the parsing tools and try again!

State I'm running-in:

I have full access to my hosted Dynadot VPS.
All four (4) executable binaries are in my operating system installed under /usr/bin.

shantadam commented 6 years ago

I went ahead and updated my php to 5.6.

shantadam commented 6 years ago

Resolution:

Gave execution rights to Sentora panel's directory and the binary executable directory, as such:
Modified my Apache httpd-vhosts.conf file to configure open_basedir for my host directory under Sentora.

The following is the sample extract:

<Directory "/var/sentora/hostdata/zadmin/public_html/cats_tmknoble_com">
Options +FollowSymLinks -Indexes
AllowOverride All
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
php_admin_value open_basedir /var/sentora/hostdata/zadmin/public_html/cats_tmknoble_com/:/usr/bin
</Directory>

shantadam commented 6 years ago

Specifying PHP's open_basedir under Apache's httpd-vhost.conf worked.

shantadam commented 6 years ago

My observations:

Code logic is not verifying if user can execute defined binaries within the directory path under the existing php configuration.

My suggestions:

I recommend adding code logic that allows configuration of php's open_basedir parameter runtime, which is allowed, something along the lines like:
```
ini_set( 'open_basedir', implode( PATH_SEPARATOR, array( __DIR__, '/usr/bin' ) ) );
```

Furthermore, I noticed that documentation is missing installation instructions to ask users: (This is for Linux users.)

install Composer, as such:

cd /tmp
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

Move to OpenCATS directory and run:
```
composer install
```

RussH commented 6 years ago

Hi @shamtadam, composer is only required if you don't download the full package from the release. If you don't use the full release package and download 'source' or download directly from the GitHub repo then you will need to run composer.

Full (no composer needed) https://github.com/opencats/OpenCATS/releases/download/0.9.4-2/opencats-0.9.4-2-full.zip

Source(for docker, requires composer) https://github.com/opencats/OpenCATS/archive/0.9.4-2.zip

Glad you resolved the issue by fixing your permissions issue
