TestLink installer page does not offer OS-X installer (only VM)

andy.pritchard 2019-07-02 13:58:54 UTC #1

Keywords: TestLink - OS X - How to - Other
Description:
when I visit the installer page for Testlink, the 'installer' for OS-X is for a VM rather than the 'bitnami-testlink-1.9.19-4-osx-x86_64-vm.dmg' I was expecting.
Is this an issue or am I missing something?
When I execute the file I am not presented with any setup screens and the application errors on SMTP email issues

NB: the expected file should have been written: 'bitnami-testlink-1.9.19-4-osx-x86-installer.dmg'

Hi @andy.pritchard,

We replaced the OS X installers with the OS X VMs several months ago as you can see in the changelog file

Version 1.9.18-1      2018-11-28
* Added support for OS X VM
* Updated Apache to 2.4.37

https://bitnami.com/stack/testlink/changelog.txt

They allow the users to launch the solutions and manage them in a really easy way. Those OS X VMs are specifically built for OS X environments.

Let us know if you have any questions when using it.

Thanks

Hi @andy.pritchard,

Most OS X Bitnami applications run on a built-in VM without the need for a hypervisor like VirtualBox or VMWare Fusion. As such they work out of the box without an installation process. Regarding the SMTP errors, could you give more details?

You can find more information about our OSX VM's in the following guide:

Michiel

Thanks, I just get what looks like a loading bar but no useable content

Hello @andy.pritchard,

I have tried TestLink 1.9.19 OS X VM. This is the first screen I obtained after login:

Have you tried accessing with another browser?

I just tried Firefox and I get the login page now.
When I register as a new user I cannot log in successfully with my credentials. Using the password reset facility causes an error "SMTP Host not properly configured"

Hello @andy.pritchard,

Default credentials are user and bitnami. In order to set the STMP configuration, please follow this guide:

https://docs.bitnami.com/installer/apps/testlink/configuration/configure-smtp/

All the commands should be run in the terminal launched by the OS X VM (Open terminal button).

I hope it helps
