Notes for software installations

Apache2 Info

key directories::

   /etc/apache2 [sites-available]

Note that for mods and sites, use::

   a2ensite sitename (to enable)
   a2dissite sitename (to disable)

OR::

   a2enmod modname
   a2dismod modname

.. note:: Added mod_wsgi (sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-wsgi) this is the module that loads python files now.

Created a site called ee that is being used in general for 'dev' right now. Once things work there, will move to proper site.

Upgrading to Plone 4

all files installed to::

   /usr/local/Plone

Some points...

• inside zinstance there is a mercurial repo (hg log -r : )
• see in particular the buildout.cfg files

packages that have been added so far:

• raptus.article.default (no success so far!)
• collective.quickupload

`collective.uploadify <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/collective.uploadify/1.0>`_

.. warning:: changes to site_properties

MediaWiki

MediaWiki was installed from a download of version 1.17. It is installed into the /opt directory. A postgresql database was set up. apt was *not* used, as it wanted to install MySQL

1. download source distribution to /opt
2. extracted into /opt, linked /etc/mediawiki to source folder
3. intalled postresql with apt
4. used postgresql for mediawiki
5. Created /etc/apache2/conf.d/mediawiki.conf file

PostGres

Enabled the phpgadmin module:

createuser -S -D -R -P -E mediawiki
ln -f /etc/phppgadmin/apache.conf /etc/apache2/mods-available/phppgadmin.conf
a2enmod phppgadmin
ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/phppgadmin.conf /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/. 

Extensions

Added several extensions, see LocalSettings and extensions directory

cd extensions/
scp -r burkhart@niflheim.nilu.no:/var/www/html/mediawiki/extensions/* .
easy_install docutils
wget http://upload.wikimedia.org/ext-dist/ConfirmAccount-MW1.17-r90727.tar.gz
tar -xvf ConfirmAccount-MW1.17-r90727.tar.gz 
wget http://upload.wikimedia.org/ext-dist/SubPageList3-MW1.17-r75030.tar.gz
tar -xvf SubPageList3-MW1.17-r75030.tar.gz 
svn checkout http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/SubPageList/
svn checkout http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/Validator Validator
svn checkout http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/ReplaceText/

See the /opt/mediawiki-1.17.0/LocalSettings.php file for details on enabling the extensions

Postgresql

No major changes, simply used::

   apt-get install postgresql

Also for Apache:

ln -f /etc/phppgadmin/apache.conf .
ln -f /etc/phppgadmin/apache.conf phppgadmin.conf
a2enmod phppgadmin
ln -s ../mods-available/phppgadmin.conf

Postfix

Postfix was installed via the instructions from the `ubuntu postfix reference <https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/postfix.html>`_ Roy modified the main.cf settings

Mercurial

Mercurial was installed with apt then in order to get a server running:

see /var/www/cgi-bin/hgweb.wsgi and /var/www/hg/hgweb.config

Apache2 config: 1) requires mod_wsgi (done already for plone, etc) 2) added information to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ee

followed instructions: http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/modwsgi ee right now is a 'dev' site, so I'm adding 'test' things here.

3) created /var/www/hg directory 4) added repo 5) changed user www-data 6) see /var/www/hg/hgweb.config file
