🔧 Fixes Applied

Issues Fixed

1. Database Directory Creation Error ✅

Problem: SQLITE_CANTOPEN: unable to open database file Root Cause: The db/ directory didn't exist and wasn't automatically created Solution: Modified scripts to create directory if missing

2. Session Directory Management ✅

Problem: Session directory might not exist at runtime Root Cause: Directory wasn't being created Solution: Now created automatically when server starts

3. Missing .env File ✅

Problem: Configuration not available Solution: Default .env file provided with sensible defaults

Files Modified

src/db.js

Added directory creation logic:

const dir = path.dirname(dbPath);
if (!fs.existsSync(dir)) {
  fs.mkdirSync(dir, { recursive: true });
}

scripts/initDb.js

Added explicit directory creation and better error messages

scripts/seedDb.js

Added directory creation before database initialization

Files Added

.env (Default Configuration)

• PORT=3000
• NODE_ENV=development
• Default admin credentials
• OIDC settings

.gitkeep Files

• db/.gitkeep - Ensures db/ directory is tracked by git
• sessions/.gitkeep - Ensures sessions/ directory is tracked by git

Setup Scripts

• setup.sh - Automated setup for Linux/Mac
• setup.bat - Automated setup for Windows
• verify.sh - Verify installation is complete

Documentation

• LINUX-QUICKSTART.md - Quick start guide for Linux users

Testing

To verify all fixes are working:

# Clean start
rm -rf db/ sessions/ node_modules/

# Reinstall
npm install

# Initialize (should now work!)
npm run init-db

# Verify
npm run dev

What Changed in Summary

Component	Before	After
Directory Creation	Manual	Automatic
Error Handling	Basic	Detailed
Configuration	Manual setup	.env provided
Verification	None	verify.sh script
Setup Process	Multi-step	setup.sh script

Backward Compatibility

All changes are backward compatible. Existing setups will continue to work, and the automatic directory creation only triggers if directories don't exist.

Next Steps

For users encountering the original issue:

1. ✅ Pull latest changes
2. ✅ Run npm run init-db (should now work)
3. ✅ Run npm run dev
4. ✅ Visit http://localhost:3000
