SchoolTool

Clean Install of 2.8 on Ubuntu 14.04

Asked by Stephen Porter

I am running Ubuntu Server 14.04. I have run the following commands and modification on a clean install in hopes of testing 2.8 on a Proof of Concept server.

"sudo add-apt-repository ppa:schooltool-owners/2.8"
"sudo apt-get install schooltool"
Modification of "paste.ini" for external web access. (0.0.0.0)

Installation process looks to complete without errors, but once I open a browser, the SchoolTool Version is still listed as 2.6.3. On the .../7080/settings page I'm getting schooltool 2.6.3, schooltoolcando 2.6.2, schooltool.gradebook 2.6.3, schooltool.intervention 2.6.2, schooltool.lyceum.journal 2.6.3.

I am guessing that my system is not pointing to the 2.8 repository yet. Can you point me (and my system) in the right direction. Thanks.

I think you installed from the universe repository instead of the PPA. You need to run "sudo apt-get update" after adding the PPA:

"sudo add-apt-repository ppa:schooltool-owners/2.8"
"sudo apt-get update"
"sudo apt-get install schooltool"

If you don't want to start from scratch again you can upgrade the 2.6 version by doing:

"sudo apt-get update"
"sudo apt-get upgrade"

I hope this helps.
