Deploying Fedena Using Ubuntu 14.04

• Install Ruby Dependancies

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git-core curl zlib1g-dev build-essential libssl-dev libreadline-dev libyaml-dev libsqlite3-dev sqlite3 libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev python-software-properties

• Install Ruby Using RVM

sudo apt-get install libgdbm-dev libncurses5-dev automake libtool bison libffi-dev
curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm
echo "source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm" >> ~/.bashrc
rvm install 1.8.7
rvm use 1.8.7 --default
ruby -v

• Setting up MySQL server Fedena uses mysql, so run,

sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev mysql-server

Do remember the mysql password you set during this step, it is required later

• Checking Out modified version version of fedena

I made some modifications in project fedena to make it easily installable

git clone https://github.com/tachyons/project_fedena.git
cd project_fedena
cp config/database.yml.example config/database.yml
bundle install
rake db:create
bundle exec rake fedena:plugins:install_all

• Installing passenger and nginix

# Install passenger PGP key and add HTTPS support for APT
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 561F9B9CAC40B2F7
sudo apt-get install -y apt-transport-https ca-certificates

# Add passenger APT repository
sudo sh -c 'echo deb https://oss-binaries.phusionpassenger.com/apt/passenger trusty main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/passenger.list'
sudo apt-get update

# Install Passenger + Nginx
sudo apt-get install -y nginx-extras passenger

Edit /etc/nginx/nginx.conf and uncomment passenger_root and passenger_ruby. For example, you may see this:

# passenger_root /some-filename/locations.ini;
# passenger_ruby /usr/bin/passenger_free_ruby;

Remove the ‘#’ characters, like this:

passenger_root /some-filename/locations.ini;
passenger_ruby /usr/bin/passenger_free_ruby;

Now you can validate the installation using the command

sudo passenger-config validate-install

now create an entry in /etc/ngnix/sites.enabled

sudo vim /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/project_fedena

Now modify and paste following text,ie edit your server name and project path

server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  fedena.example.com;
    location / {
    	root   /your/fedena/directory/public;
     	passenger_enabled on;
    }
    error_page   500 502 503 504  /50x.html;
    location = /50x.html {
        root   html;
    }
  	error_page 413 /413.html;
   	location = /413.html{
       root   html;
       allow all;
    }
 }

you can verify above configuration by adding 127.0.1.1 fedena.example.com in /etc/hosts

Now restart the ngnix server and check fedena.example.com

sudo service ngnix restart
