Complete instructions to get started?

[dncohen]

I'm following the instructions on http://fragmenta.eu/develop, but it feels like its missing important details that a first-time user like myself doesn't know. I'm new to golang as well, which could be part of the problem.

Following the instructions as-is gets this:

[user@sandbox fragmenta-test]$ fragmenta server
01:21:58

Fragmenta version: 1.3.3

2016/03/21 01:22:00 Error reading database pq: Ident authentication failed for user "fragmenta-test_server"

The last error gave me enough of a clue to find secrets/fragmenta.json. Here I see answers to questions like what database and database user I'll have to make, and what port the server will listen on. But there's 3 sets of answers (development, production, test) and I'm not even sure which of those environments is running!

I agree it would be useful to give instructions on setup, and a clearer explanation of the config file, thanks for letting me know it is unclear.

I am currently getting the same results as dncohen. I am assuming I have to make a user in postgres that matches? honestly I am not exactly sure. I am working through it but would love a leg up. The project looks promising. One thing I will post as an issue once I am able to fully install/use/ contribute is it currently doesn't seem to be able to handle multiple gopath entries. Thanks again for any illumination somebody can throw on the db connection.

Hi UmamiMike,

I believe this is a late answer to your question, but in case any other developer reached here using search engine.
You need to check your secrets-> fragmenta.json file, inside it make sure that you have the right configurations: db, db_adapter, db_user, db_pass
"db" stands for your database name, so if it has value like mycms_development you have to have a database named: mycms_development
"db_adapter": defines which database driver shall be used
"db_user"/"db_pass" for the username and password for the database specified in the "db" field.

I hope this helps.

I managed to get it working on macOS, hope it helps somebody: https://medium.com/@humhann/getting-started-with-fragmenta-cms-on-macos-a54549aaacb2
