Hi guys,

First post here and I need help.

I’ve followed this guide to set up Dradis on my Macbook pro:  
[http://guides.dradisframework.org/install\_on\_macos.html](http://guides.dradisframework.org/install_on_macos.html)

I’ve followed the steps carefully but when I got to the end of step two and changed directory to the server directory the guide says I should be prompted with the following message

_Do you wish to trust this .rvmrc file? (/home/etd/dradis-git/server/.rvmrc)y[es], n[o], v[iew], c[ancel]\> yUsing /Users/etd/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p125 with gemset dradis_

But I wasn’t prompted with this so I moved on through the rest of the installation, no errors.

After I run start.sh I get the following message:  
_=\> Notice: server is listening on all interfaces (0.0.0.0). Consider using 127.0.0.1 (–binding option)_

If I run ./start.sh -b 127.0.0.1 -p 3004 it seems to start fine but then when I go to the web page I get  
_Internal Server Error Missing `secret_token` and `secret_key_base` for ‘production’ environment, set these values in `config/secrets.yml`_

I tried creating a brand new directory and running through all the instructions again but get the same issue.

I’m on OS X 10.10.2 (Newest version)

Any help would be massively appreciated. I’m guessing this is a dependancy/gemfile issue but I can’t figure it out.

Hi,

It looks as if you are mixing the install instructions for Dradis 2.9 (in that link) with the code for Dradis 3.0. Could that be the case? You can check if there is an `./engines` folder in the directory. If there is, then your code is 3.x.

If you want to go ahead with 3.x see this thread:

> [@Giving Dradis 3 a try](https://discuss.dradis.com/t/giving-dradis-3-a-try/62):
>
> Hi all, You can now give Dradis Framework 3.0 (pre-release) a try by: $ git clone https://github.com/dradis/dradisframework.git $ cd dradisframework/ $ ruby bin/setup $ bundle exec rails server You can browse to the app at [http://localhost:3000/](http://localhost:3000/)

If you want to use 2.9, then you’ll have to checkout the `legacy-2.x` branch from the repo and follow the original instructions.

I recommend you stick to the 3.x, although it is still a bit rough around the edges.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks for the response mate, that’s not working either unfortunatly, when I run ruby bin/setup I get the following:

Somebody is looking at this.

Whist the original issue was easy to pinpoint (a dependency issue in html\_export) solving it identified a number of other problems derived from recent changes in Rails, which in turn cascaded into a series of minor fixes.

Rest assured that we will get back to when the issues are solved.

In the mean time, feel free to help debugging and submit a pull request if you spot any problems.

All issues should be solved by now.  
Can you please repeat the installation process and tell us how it goes?  
Thanks a lot.

Thanks guys. It seems to install now but I’m still having issues. When I start the server and go to the address in any browser I get this:

> Oops, your Dradis server isn’t quite ready to go.  
> You need to configure your Dradis server before it is ready to use.

> Grab a system console and:

> cd /Users/bradleyflay/dradiss/dradisframework  
> RAILS\_ENV=production bundle exec thor dradis:reset  
> If you’ve already configured your Dradis, you need to reset the password:

> cd /Users/bradleyflay/dradiss/dradisframework  
> RAILS\_ENV=production bundle exec thor dradis:reset:password

I’ve ran both sets of commands and get the same issue, I’ve set a password when I run the second set of commands.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi @davbrew2005,

It looks like this is likely an environment-specific error. Have you tried troubleshooting that error message? I found this StackOverflow thread that might be a good starting place: [ruby on rails - is not checked out... bundle install does NOT fix help! - Stack Overflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6648870/is-not-checked-out-bundle-install-does-not-fix-help) (Note: `dradis-ce` is automatically running in `development` mode)  
If the thread above doesn’t do it, what about the troubleshooting steps here? [https://github.com/bundler/bundler/blob/master/ISSUES.md](https://github.com/bundler/bundler/blob/master/ISSUES.md)

If you can’t get around the error, would installing Dradis on Cloud9 work for you? [Installing Dradis on Cloud9 | Dradis Framework](http://dradisframework.org/documentation/install_cloud9.html)

Keep us posted with any updates!
