POI Data Provider Installation

Question

I'm trying to isntall POI Data provider on my ubuntu 14. The documentation is a little bit old, but I have installed everything without problems.

When I try to test my enabler: http://localhost/poi_dp/radial_search.php?lat=1&lon=1&category=test_poi I obtain a empty web page and this error in the javascript console:

 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error)

I obtain this when I list my process: ps ax | grep 'postgres\\|mongo\\|apache2'

Whe I verify the postgres sql table

$ psql -U gisuser poidatabase
poidatabase=> SELECT count(*) FROM fw_core;

I read 4 as expected.

But whe I try to verify mongo db:

$ mongo
> use poi_db
> db.collections

I only get "poi_db.collections" and not: The db.collections command should list five POI data component collections created by the installation: fw_contact, fw_marker, fw_media, fw_relationships and fw_time.

what is the problem? any idea? thanks.

Answer 1

Regarding that db.collections returns nothing try command:

$ mongo
> use poi_db
> show collections

Answer 2

These apparent problems have been corrected in the new release that has been pushed to GitHub https://github.com/Chiru/FIWARE-POIDataProvider.git . See the updated guide http://forge.fiware.org/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/fiware/index.php/POI_Data_Provider_-_Installation_and_Administration_Guide for installation. Moreover the errors eg in sanity-check procedure have been corrected. (Another answer below refers to an error in sanity check.)
