Red Hat Production Deployment - abztrakt/labgeeks-buildout GitHub Wiki

These are some notes on how we got things running under Red Hat. We'd like to get buildout to take care of more of the steps that need to be done by hand eventually.

cd /data/labtools/ (don't put project in /var/www because of potential conflicts with other apache things)

make baseline virtualenv alongside project

virtualenv --no-site-packages baseline

checkout the repo

git clone git://github.com/abztrakt/labgeeks-buildout.git labgeeks

make project a virtual env (virtualenv labgeeks)

virtualenv --no-site-packages labgeeks

the activate script may need some additonal PATHs

edit bin/activate around line 45: (add mysql_config location to PATH and add mysql lib and bin location to LD_RUN_PATH)

I changed:

45 _OLD_VIRTUAL_PATH="$PATH"
46 PATH="$VIRTUAL_ENV/bin:$PATH"
47 export PATH

to:

45 _OLD_VIRTUAL_PATH="$PATH"
46 PATH="$VIRTUAL_ENV/bin:$PATH"
47 PATH="/usr/local/mysql-5.5.27-linux2.6-x86_64/bin:$PATH"
48 export PATH
49 LD_RUN_PATH="/usr/local/mysql-5.5.27-linux2.6-x86_64/lib:/usr/local/mysql-5.5.27-linux2.6-x86_64/bin:$LD_RUN_PATH"
50 export LD_RUN_PATH

activate, bootstrap, and buildout

cd labgeeks
source bin/activate
python bootstrap.py
buildout

tweak some things in local_settings.py cp labgeeks/sample_local_settings.py labgeeks/local_setting.py

edit labgeeks/local_settings.py

changes in local_settings.py:

PATH_TO_APP = '/var/django/labgeeks-buildout/labgeeks/'
ADMINS : add yourself and anyone relevant in this section in the format specified
DATABASES : edit as appropriate (use mysql!), remember the name, user and password.
MEDIA_ROOT = '/var/www/uploads/'
STATIC_ROOT = '/var/www/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS : change uploads to "/var/www/uploads"

if moving an old labgeeksrpg site to the new labgeeks structure, see migrating from old labgeeks for the steps you need to perform before moving on.

set up database

mysql -u root -p
mysql> create database DBNAME;
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON (insert name).* TO '(insert user)'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '(insert password)' WITH GRANT OPTION;

labgeeks syncdb
labgeeks migrate
labgeeks test

in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default, add:

** unfinished from here - auth still needs to go in! ** ServerName your.server's.name Alias /robots.txt /var/www/robots.txt

<Directory /var/django/labgeeks-buildout>

Alias /static /var/www/static <Directory /var/www/static>

Alias /uploads /var/www/upload <Directory /var/www/static>

In each directory directive, add Order allow,deny Allow from all

WSGISriptAlias / /var/django/labgeeks-buildout/bin/labgeeks.wsgi

give www-data group write privileges over /var/www (chmod g+w www/)

create uploads and static dirs in /var/www/, make sure they are group www-data (see migrating from old labgeeks for details on moving uploads to the new server)
