The localhost_error.log read failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/share/nginx/html/oroapp/app/autoload.php on line 5
PHP message: PHP Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required ‘/usr/share/nginx/html/oroapp/app/../vendor/autoload.php’

So I ran the composer install command and got it fixed.
The URL localhost:8000 is running now but blank.
How do I get started in created my platform?

Thanks a lot for the help so far.

Hm, something went wrong.

Let’s try to recreate the VM with enabled logging, following the steps:

1) Run

Shell

vagrant destroy

1	vagrant destroy

command in terminal

2) Run “up” command with enabled debug and logging for errors and output. For example, if you have a Linux OS it should be

Shell

vagrant up --debug &> vagrant.log

1	vagrant up --debug &> vagrant.log

For other OS, see the instructions in the https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/other/debugging.html article.

3) Provide vagrant.log file (using https://gist.github.com/, for example)

Thank you.

Here’s the log file

vagrant.log

[mmiasnikovParticipant]

Hm. Did you run the

Shell

vagrant destroy

1	vagrant destroy

command at first?

[nellybaz10Participant]

Yes, I did.

[nellybaz10Participant]

I re-ran the variant up and variant provision and everything works fine.
Thanks for your help all the way.

Now trying to customize the themes
I would appreciate any resources that help in theme creating/customizing.

Thanks again

OK thanks a lot, really appreciate

[nellybaz10Participant]

Hello,
I tried changing the theme to my custome theme by editing the active theme in app/config.yml file, but there’s no change on my application.
Do I need to restart vagrant to see changes?

Your help is highly appreciated.
thanks.

To enable new OroCommerce front-store theme go to System/ Configuration/ Commerce/ Design/ Theme.
At the Theme Settings you will be able to select the new theme.

If your new theme is not listed – check that bundle with theme is enabled and clear the cache with app/console cache:clear --env=prod command

I installed the oroapp on my local machine and created a custom theme, but now, how do I access the codes of a live server or install the oroapp app in a client’s Enterprise standard edition application.
Please the documentation worked for me on localhost, but on live server, I don’t know where to begin.
Also, how do I access the database, something like phpmyadmin..
Please help…………..
So stuck…
Nothing to fall back on.

[nellybaz10Participant]

The client has given me an admin username and password to admin dashboard, how do I access the codes and database.
Please, I would appreciate an urgent guide through these.
Thanks.

[Andrey YatsenkoModerator]

There is no way to get the code from an admin dashboard.
Instead you need:
– an archive with the code
– or direct access throug ssh to the webserver
– or vcs repository link.
