Error during installation of orangescrum on CentOS 7. Please check your system configuration and dependencies.
I've reviewed nearly all installation guides for Orangescrum, including the official site and the GitHub tutorial. Even the standard instructions fail, often citing issues with MySQL installation. ChatGPT also doesn't resolve the problem. The example from the Linux installation guide is helpful but requires careful attention to commands. Let me know if you'd like further clarification.
Centos 7 will cease getting maintenance updates in a year... This might seem like a long time, but it’s actually not. If I were you, I’d prefer to move now to AlmaLinux 9 or Rocky Linux 9 (or RHEL 9 if you prefer the IBM version). Anyway, I’m going to guess you didn’t activate the MySQL 5.7 community release repository on your system. Before proceeding, think about this: MySQL 5.6 launched in 2013, MySQL 5.7 in 2015 (and won’t receive updates this year), and PHP 7.2 released in 2020. Personally, I wouldn’t even attempt this project due to outdated components—or a dated README that reveals a lot about the project’s state. Instead, check out "Kanboard": https://github.com/kanboard/kanboard. It may not look as polished, but it has a much larger community and regular updates.
I concur with what was mentioned earlier. PHP 7 is no longer supported. MySQL 5.7 also reached its end-of-life in October. MariaDB has largely superseded MySQL in Linux repositories, so you might need to obtain it from Oracle. It relies on an outdated development branch of CakePHP, with the last commit dated 2016, whereas the most recent commit was just three days prior. The entire project presents significant security risks and seems poorly managed. It also seems to employ a proprietary initial method, meaning the Git repository differs from what is actually used in production—it’s only what you’re permitted to use. If you’re determined to use it, isolate it behind a VM and restrict external access. For more details on your MySQL issue, refer to my previous note. RHEL isn’t an Oracle product; that would be Oracle Linux.
You're asking about the meaning of "bye oracle" and whether IBM owns Red Hat. It seems you're wondering if Orangescrum was installed manually and if you followed the official guide—perhaps checking the official help forum for more details. You also mention recent CentOS changes and suggest moving to container-based solutions like Podman or LXC instead of running it on bare metal.
It seems this approach actually detracts from the project's appearance. I recommend exploring other options.
