Hi guys, I'm a Linux newbie, but after some trials and tribulations I was able to install LovdByLess on Ubuntu Desktop 8.04. Below are the approximate instructions.
Note that my actual process was to setup LovdByLess on windows, do some customizations, and then re-deploy my modified source code on Ubuntu (so I was not installing the original LovdByLess code), but the instructions should still generally apply. 1. Install MySQL & GUI tools sudo sudo apt-get install mysql-server sudo apt-get install mysql-admin sudo apt-get install mysql-query-browser 2. Install Apache/Rails (using Passenger) Follow instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RubyOnRails to install Ruby and Rails (as well as apache, gems 1.2) - to edit the apache configuration file as referenced run $sudo gedit / etc/apache2/apache2.conf - edit the /etc/hosts file to add ror.host.com and lovd.host.com as a localhost entries 3. Install a bunch of gems sudo gem install RedCloth sudo gem install -v=2.6.0 rmagick sudo rake gems:build sudo get install acts_as_ferret sudo gem install ferret sudo gem install -v=0.6 hpricot sudo rake gems:install sudo apt-get install libmysql-ruby sudo apt-get install libmagick9-dev sudo apt-get install librmagick-ruby1.8 sudo rake db:create:all sudo rake mig a=no sudo rake 4. Finish setting up your lovd install created /etc/apache2/sites-available/lovd.host.com * <VirtualHost *> ServerName lovd.host.com DocumentRoot /home/user/Projects/Lovd/public </VirtualHost> $ sudo a2ensite lovd.host.com $ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart (for future application restarts just do $ touch /home/apuser/Projects/LovdByLess/tmp/restart.txt) 5. Lovd should not run at http://lovd.host.com (again, please note that these instructions are approximate as I was troubleshooting as I went) woooo --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Lovd by Less" group.
