Ubuntu 16.04 users: An important note on installation

There is a known issue, with a workaround, during the installation process for Ubuntu 16.04 with the 2.3.1 release. During AtoM install, if the admin restarts the server after installing PHP, but before running the web based AtoM setup, then when the AtoM web installer setup is run it will fail after completing the "Configuring Search" page with the error 'The "i18n" object does not exist in the current context'. The following workaround will resolve the issue:

  • Restart fpm (sudo systemctl restart php7.0-fpm <-- in the case of Ubuntu 16.04)
  • Restart the install (dump and recreate db, delete and set up the atom application folder again)
  • The install will now proceed cleanly.

If the user just tries again without restarting fpm, they will repeatedly run into the same error during install. This issue will be resolved in the 2.4 release. For more information, see the following issue ticket:

Important

For 2.3.0 users who have encountered errors when trying to use a period or other characters as the reference code separator:

This issue has been identified in #10276. If you have tried to use a period as a reference code separator and are experiencing issues, the 2.3.1 release will include a fix for this issue going forward. To resolve the current issues in your AtoM instance, we have prepared a script that can be run from the command-line. The script is available at:

Instructions on how to run the script locally

  1. Follow the link above and download the script. Place it somewhere accessible from the root directory of your AtoM installation.
  2. From AtoM's root directory, use the tools:run command to execute the script, like so:

php symfony tools:run path/to/location/of/10276-separator-fix.php

The script will replace any periods used with the default dash separator in the database, which should resolve page load errors.
