can anyone help me to solve this problem? thank you
@Marvin, welcome to the community forums. I assume, you are building from source on Tumbleweed or other flavor of OpenSUSE?
Which version of postgresql is the system using before you starting the installation? I have to rely on @phillxnet to confirm that this is still required or not, but there seemed to have been a similar issue early on related to the postgresql version used by default:
in this post:
and specifically here:
Take a look and see whether helps address your issue.
As indicated by @Hooverdan our new development targeted is Leap15.1 because it has much newer btrfs back-port and btrfs is supported by the openSUSE developers.
So yes if you wish to contribute to the development it is required to use an openSUSE base, ideally both Leap15.1 and Tumbleweed but mainly Leap15.1 currrently. But also all changes must be tested on CentOS. But our openSUSE notes are currently better.
The following is our up-to-date guide for developers for this newer platform:
Also note that if you just want to test newest releases (currently not as functional as our CentOS rpms) you also have the option of our ‘Built on openSUSE’ rpm releases. They can also update themselves which a source install cannot.
PS: I use a VMware® Workstation 15 Pro to create a Leap15.1 virtual machine for build.
source code is 3.9.2-54.tar.gz
The same error still happen:
– The user manager instance for user 26 has been started. All services queued
– for starting have been started. Note that other services might still be starting
– up or be started at any later time.
– Startup of the manager took 39026 microseconds.

That’s great, well done. But to avoid others reading this and copying that location my suggestion was:
/opt/rockstor-dev
Do not use /opt/rockstor
That location is reserved for the rpm. A source install can, if desired, be transitioned to an rpm install and if you use "/opt/rockstor’ this will fail badly.
So please do not use “/opt/rockstor” Pretty much anything except that and /root will work but as I stated previously I’d go with:
/opt/rockstor-dev
Not plain rockstor. This facility to move from a source install to an rpm install is particularly important for those developing on rockstor for a short period as they may then wish, once their fix is released in the rpms, to return to a supported self upgrading solution, in place. A database wipe will ensure but it’s still really handy to be able to do this. But using “/opt/rockstor” to build in will break this feature.
Thanks for sharing your success here though. Always good to see another source build, and hopefully development contributions, take palce.
You might like to take a look at our outstanding GitHub issues in case you fancy taking any of them on. Do please indicate on the relevant issue if you do though as that will help to avoid duplication of effort:
Again well done on getting this sorted and also welcome to the development of Rockstor.
@phillxnet , I change build directory to /opt/rockstor-dev, and reinstall leap- 15.1 OS. rebuild rockstor master.
Internal Server Error . still exist.
Any one can help me to solve the problem? Thank you .
Fantastic. I was really scratching my head over this so this is a great find. Well done.
Thanks for sharing your findings. Much appreciated. I’ll let you know when we are public beta testing our new installer as it would be great to have this confirmed as working or otherwise within your initially selected timezone.
Nice find and quite a relieve that you now have this up-and-running. Apologies I wasn’t able to help with this last bit though. It was quite a puzzle.
