Description

Hi, I have a problem during the initial configuration. (I am sorry, at present the discord does not send me the confirmation e-mail, i cannot ask there).

I am able to launch gitea web, then I open the localhost:3000, and is ok. When I try to sign-in, the "initial configuration page" opens but I cannot chose between the Database type. The drop-down menu does not work. All menus do not work.
I woud like to choose SQLite (which I have copied/installed) but is impossible.
I tried to fill-in the app.ini with the database type , but it has no effect.

Any suggestion ?
Thank you,
W.

A small step forward.
By editing HTML I was able to complete the initial configuration. I noticed that SQLite was not supported by my binaries so I installed Postress which is ok.

Anyway the dashboard is unusable. All drop-down menus do not work.
This problem seems similar to issue #6899
which Kgraefe closed writing : It turned out to be my Apache reverse proxy configuration. I had SetOutputFilter INFLATE;proxy-html;DEFLATE which apparently breaks the menu.

Since I have no experience on these topics I have no idea how to proceed.
Can anyone help ?
Thank you,
W.

Where did you get your binary from?
It sounds like your binary is missing assets.

Hi,
I followed these instructions
https://drizin.io/installing-gitea-git-server-developed-in-go-in-windows/
by using the "go build" I compiled the downloaded package ( get -d -u
code.gitea.io/gitea ).

Ah, yes that would likely lead to a binary with no assets.

  1. If this is a new install, I would recommend using 1.10.2 or waiting for 1.11.0 (should be released in a week or two, depending on bug-fixes)
  2. I would take a look at our install from source page if you really want to build from source

If you have no need to build it yourself, I'd recommend getting a pre-built binary from our downloads page and following the binary installation guide

I will install the 1.10 .2, I have time now to try , next weeks probably

Yes, you can always upgrade later. 😄
