Part-DB
Not so much a bug report for the application but for the installation guide.
Describe the bug
First of all let me state that I am not a Linux specialist nor advanced user, so Linux CLI installation instructions can be "Cryptic" for me. I am using a 2 user system , where "root" is defined and my own userid Installations are all done using my own userid and sometimes it is not clear where to use SUDO and where not. My system is on my private network.
Today I wanted to upgrade my version 2 , to version 2.3.0. (it succeeded but I ran into some challenges).
To Reproduce
- The first "Git pull" command threw me an error : fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at .... Same issue with trying "sudo git pull".
This article solved this for me : https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/kb/git-command-returns-fatal-error-detected-dubious-ownership/
-
For me (again not being a Linux expert) it was not 100% clear whether BOTH commands had to be executed or it was just one of the 2 The "git pull" and/or the "git checkout...." Also it seems in my system it requires "sudo".
-
The "chown -R www-data:www-data" command did not run for me without the directory name, so chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/partdb In my system this also required sudo
