Emoncms 8.4.0 on OVH

Hello,

I tried to install Emoncms 8.4.0 on OVH, I can connect and send Input but it fails when I create FEEDS. I got the message "ERROR: Feed could not be created, undefined". Could you tell me please if it possible to install it on OVH and if yes how to solve this issue ?

Thank you, for your help

Have you checked that the location of your data directories (phpfiwa, phpfina ect) corresponds with the locations specified in your settings.php file?

Yes, but I am not sure that the unix path for 'datadir' are correct, I have created the "emoncmsdata" directory directly under the root (/) like this

'phpfiwa'=>array(
'datadir'=>'/emoncmsdata/phpfiwa/'
),
'phpfina'=>array(
'datadir'=>'/emoncmsdata/phpfina/'
),
'phptimeseries'=>array(
'datadir'=>'/emoncmsdata/phptimeseries/'
),
'phptimestore'=>array(
'datadir'=>'/emoncmsdata/phptimestore/'

Could you tell me if it is correct or may be it is rights issue ( I put 777 on the directory but I didn't change .htaccess) ?

Thank you,

I've no experience of using OVH or similar hosting, but if you are able to call php scripts try copying the attached php file to one of your data directories and running it. It should return the directory's current location.

Plan B would be to email OVH support and ask the question.

NOTE; there is a block on uploading php files, so I've changed the suffix to txt, but should be changed back to php.

Hello,

Installing emoncms on OVH should work. I've had an account with them since January, and have had no problems with it. My web page is at: 167.114.114.94/emoncms/meter.

I use the default data storage locations given in settings.php, i.e. /var/lib/phpfina etc.

Regards,

Bill

Thank you for your help , it works now !

Bill, very nice graphics, I would like to know which graphics you use and also which feeds. What are your inputs ? Is it only Power and you calculate kwh and kwhd ?

Thank you

Thanks, the compliment is much appreciated.

I used the realtime graphics in the top row, the rest are the simplezoom graphic.

My inputs are Power, Power to kWh, Power to kWh/d

Hi all,

I'm also trying to install emoncms on my site at OVH.

Where did you create your data directories ?? Under /www ?

I created a emoncms directory where i uploaded all the files. When i call the index.php, i get a message telling me that i didn't configure the default.settings.php. I didn't do it as i don't want to mess my database as i have another CMS (Joomla!) running.

But at least the emoncms is alive !

What tables are created by emoncms ?

Thanks !

Answering to myself,

I created a new database via the IVH manager could setup the settings file. I left the datafiles settings to default, and it seems to work... :-)

I could login and create the admin account.

Now, i have to deal with the rest ! ;-)
