Pip issues
If you attempt to install IMPS using the
directions provided and you encounter dependency
errors running pip install -r requirements.txt
you can attempt to resolve these by installing the
libraries individually. For example, if the above
command fails with a version error for the bcrypt
library, you can try pip install bcrypt
to install it.
Database issues
When IMPS is first installed, it will open a welcome
page that will show you the status of various settings.
If the database setting section has red indicators, or
pages consistently return database errors, it's likely
you database connection is misconfigured. To manually
check your database, start your db server's interactive
envornment (mysql -u root) and verify that
your server is running and reachable. Then, attempt to login
using the credentials you set in imps_cofig.toml
( mysql -u <user> -p <password>)
Included with IMPS in the static/backups directory is a setup.sql file that will create the necessary db structure. Check that this structure exists.
Directory issues
If you encounter problems with IMPS related to reading or writing files, check that the correct directories are set in imps_cofig.toml and that they are read/writable by whichever user account is running IMPS.
Password problems
If you cannot access IMPS because of problems with your password, view what it is set to in imps_cofig.toml and verify that you are using the same password to log in.
