Starting via Webbrowser

Hello, can´t start Mayan edms via webbrowser. The installation seems to be working (docker-compose).
Hope you can help me.
Thanks Ernst

Let´s put the question in a different way:
Is it right to type into the browser:
http://myservername
myservername ist the name of the server within my LAN where mayan edms is installed and seems to work right.

If i try to log in with lynx and ip-adress it beginns to connect but then the error message like “startfile cannot be accessed”
Still hoping someone knows the issue

Hi,

first check if all containers of Mayan’s compose stack are running properly.

docker container ls

Especially check the http port (default 80) to be not used by another container or service on the docker host. If so then change it via .env file

i.e.

MAYAN_FRONTEND_HTTP_PORT=8080

Then check the logs file for any error messages

docker compose logs

If everything is working correctly then you should be able to brwose Mayan’s login page by using the dns name or ip address of your docker host and the port you have set above.

Good luck

Hi Torsten, thank you for your help and encouraging me. I´ve found the mistake. In the Mayan Introduction for composer installation it is told to customize the environment variables. I did this according to an article from another author. This was the mistake.
The right instruction in the Mayan Introduction should be:
PLEASE DON´T CHANGE THE ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES UNLESS YOU EXACTLY KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING! Or it should be told how to change them.
At least i can log in now. Whether Mayan works in each detail now i will see.
Thanks
Ernst
