Hello everyone,

Recently found LinguaCafe and decided to spin it up. There’s a provided docker-compose with just volumes to specify to your own taste. Pretty easy right?

I can’t make it work. Spent nearly two hours already trying to figure out what I’m missing.

Can someone take a look at my compose file and tell me where I’m stupid?

_____________ EDITS

Progress has been made, I used chmod 777 on the whole app directory and now get the following error : Illuminate\Database\QueryException SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user ‘linguacafe’@‘ip adress censored’ (using password: YES) (SQL: select count(*) as aggregate from users)

Here’s a somewhat anonymized pastebin, I just removed the password and my name from the file. The rest is basically the file provided by the github + my paths. https://pastebin.com/u2cbWm2n

What happens is, my containers spin up apparently properly. But when I go to :9191, I have this:

I did sudo chmod 777 /home/user/Documents/Docker/LinguaCafe/temp -R as instructed by the documentation.

Never had that happen before. Does anyone know? Thanks

    Probably just a permission issue. The doc seems to recommend giving relaxed permission to the temp folder volume:

    sudo chmod 777 /your/linguacafe/temp/folder -R

      sudo chmod 777 /your/linguacafe/temp/folder -R

      I have done that and it doesn’t seem to help. Edited main post to reflect that.

        Now you seems to get MySQL permission issue (or wrong database password, but your issue is probably not that). When using docker compose, MySQL won’t see access coming from linguacafe’s container as coming from localhost, but instead it’s coming from a different IP address inside docker subnet. So make sure your MySQL user has proper privilege, e.g. by granting all permissions to 'user'@'%'.
