Install necessary packages:
sudo apt-get install ruby rubygems postgresql-8.1
(Your version numbers may vary, depending upon your distro. Right now installing ruby pulls 1.8, though it seems 1.9 is also available. I went with 1.8.)
Trying to start the server, I got a message that said to do this as well:
sudo gem install -v=1.1.6 rails
(This required hitting ENTER a few times to accept the default answer -- Yes -- to install some dependencies.)
Get the application(s) from the svn server:
svn co svn+ssh://svn.freegeek.org/svn/wobble/motions/trunk motions/trunk
Check the configuration file for the username and password. (Edit these to suit yourself.)
rfs@boq:~/wobble/motions/trunk$ cat config/database.yml
Create a user for the database:
rfs@boq:~/wobble/motions/trunk$ sudo su - postgres postgres@boq:~$ createuser USERNAME_GOES_HERE Shall the new role be a superuser? (y/n) y CREATE ROLE postgres@boq:~$
Set the user's password:
rfs@boq:~/wobble/motions/trunk$ psql template1 Welcome to psql 8.2.5, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal. Type: \copyright for distribution terms \h for help with SQL commands \? for help with psql commands \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query \q to quit template1=# ALTER USER USERNAME_GOES_HERE password 'PUT_THE_PASSWORD_HERE'; ALTER ROLE template1=#
Create the databases (empty for now):
rfs@boq:~/wobble/motions/trunk$ createdb motions_test CREATE DATABASE rfs@boq:~/wobble/motions/trunk$ createdb motions_development CREATE DATABASE rfs@boq:~/wobble/motions/trunk$ createdb motions_prioduction CREATE DATABASE
Populate the database:
rfs@boq:~/wobble/motions/trunk$ rake db:migrate
(If you have a dump of the database, you can use that to populate it with real or usable data.
Start the server:
rfs@boq:~/wobble/motions/trunk$ ./script/server => Booting WEBrick... => Rails application started on http://0.0.0.0:3000 => Ctrl-C to shutdown server; call with --help for options [2007-10-08 10:19:56] INFO WEBrick 1.3.1 [2007-10-08 10:19:56] INFO ruby 1.8.5 (2006-08-25) [i486-linux] [2007-10-08 10:19:56] INFO WEBrick::HTTPServer#start: pid=7392 port=3000
Using a browser, go to:
http://localhost:3000
Click on a link, which will take you to a log in page and log in.
Note: One problem I had was my database.yml file was set to look at a custom port for postgresql. Check /etc/services to see where postgresql is listening:
rfs@boq:~/wobble/motions/trunk$ grep postgresql /etc/services postgresql 5432/tcp postgres # PostgreSQL Database postgresql 5432/udp postgres
If postgresql is listening on the standard port (5432), you don't need the port: lines in database.yml. If it is listening on a non-standard port, then you need to specify which port that is in database.yml.
