Phoromatic server installation problem -

[pczanwar]

I am trying to install "Phoromatic server" and a phoronix host. While trying to start the server, i am running into a issue, and it dumps output -

./phoronix-test-suite start-phoromatic-server

Press [ENTER] to kill server...

Tried to search around this, but couldnt find a whole lot. Suspecting something relate to sqlite. I checked permissions on install area, which look fine. Any idea ?

What PHP version and OS are you using? I haven't encountered this problem before but it sounds like an issue with your PHP/SQLite configuration.

If it's easier to communicate via email, feel free to email me at michael at phoronix.com.

Have you resolved this issue? I'm getting the same message (crash on line 90, SQLite3->__construct) on CentOS7. Is there something that _needs_ to be manually configured in user-config.xml - DB host, perhaps? Skimming through the docs I only see optional configuration.

[myxal]

Stepping into the code a bit, the SQLite3 constructor is called with READONLY flag, when there's no file yet. The flag is set by $read_only argument to the function.

Within latest Git is a change that might be addressed, if you can try it out. Thanks.

Thanks Michael, the latest git code starts the server and creates the .db file without issues. Re-starting the server with the file already created also works. Haven't tested anything further though.
