I am not being able to run Open edX platform - dogwood devstack release… It’s getting this error every time I tried to run the LMS… In this installation I have downloaded the box from the torrent present in https://edx.readthedocs.io/projects/edx-developer-docs/en/latest/named_releases.html. I am following the steps of the dogwood manual (https://readthedocs.org/projects/edx-installing-configuring-and-running/downloads/pdf/dogwood/) and https://edx.readthedocs.io/projects/edx-installing-configuring-and-running/en/dogwood/devstack/install_devstack.html. I am installing it on a Ubuntu 18.04.4 and I already tried to install on a MacOS Running Catalina 10.15.3 and it’s the same error… I already tied different versions of Dogwood and there’s always an error. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong??

This is going to be really difficult: Dogwood is quite old (4 years exactly, yesterday). Plus, it was never run on Ubuntu 18.04. Certainly it will be hard to help if you don’t share the complete failure output.

Thanks in advance for the help.

And it’s also important to refer that the platform is not being installed directly on Ubuntu 18.04.4 or MacOS (Catalina 10.15.3). It is running in a vagrant environment, the one shared in the oficial page with all the platform releases, so in my point of view it should theoretically work…
