Setup iDempiere on AWS Lightsail

[Wiston Kee]

Hi, I followed the instruction here to setup iDempiere on my AWS lightsail instances.

First I created a new Ubuntu 16.04 instances, then I run the script provided, the installation is successful.

My problem is that I do not know how to access the server through my public IP.

Normally I would place website folder in /var/www/html, enable apache permission in apache2.conf then I would be able to access the website through the public IP.

Now that the server is installed in /opt/idempiere-server, how should I access it through the public IP? Is there any specific settings that I should set up to allow this?

When I browse to my server public IP, it says 'the server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.'

I tried to place this in 000-default.conf file but it won't work too.

SetEnv force-proxy-request-1.0 1

ProxyPass /opt/idempiere-server http://127.0.0.1:80/
ProxyPassReverse /opt/idempiere-server http://127.0.0.1:80/

Can anyone help me on this please? I just need the information to setup apache so that I can access to my idempiere server from external devices through public IP

Hi

this is from my configuration:

ProxyPass / http://0.0.0.0:8080/

ProxyPassReverse / http://0.0.0.0:8080/

The script installs iDempiere on port 80. I tried with:

  ProxyPass / http://0.0.0.0:80/

  ProxyPassReverse / http://0.0.0.0:80/

But have no luck with it too. I am guessing that it should be having a permission issue somewhere in the server. Do I need to set the directory root at apache2.conf? OR allow override from all for certain directory in the server?

My apache2 error.log is returning

  

  [proxy:error] (111) Connection refused: HTTP: attempt to connect to 0.0.0.0:8080 (0.0.0.0) failed

  [proxy:error] ap_proxy_connect_backend disabling worker for (0.0.0.0) for 60s

  HTTP: failed to make connection to backend: 0.0.0.0, referer: [public IP]

Does anyone has any clue please?

Hi Wiston,

Here are my thoughts:

• I have not tried to install on lightsail before.
• If the script executed correctly, you should not need to change anything inside the server.
• in AWS=>EC2, the default Security Group setting is to only allows ssh traffic. I would assume lightsail is the same way. This means you would not be able to get access to the server via port 80 until you open the port through lightsail's configuration manager.

Let me know if this helps.

Just out of curiosity, why are you using lightsail instead of ec2?

[Wiston Kee]

The default port is switched on for HTTP port 80 and SSH port 22. So I don't think this is what causing the problem here.

[Wiston Kee]

Not sure about ec2 but lightsail offers USD5/month per instances which is what I always use to setup my client website.

I am setting this ERP system for my own use, it's my first time setting such a server so I am pretty clueless.

Hi Wiston,

Make sure the server has at least 1.5GB of RAM. iDempiere will run out of memory on a 1GB or less server. Since you are probably using the 512MB server, iDempiere is failing to start. This means you will need to use the $20/mo (2GB) server. This will be good for 2 to 3 concurrent users. Each additional user consumes about 300MB of memory. This should help you size your server accordingly.

Does this help?

Thanks! That helps. The culprit is indeed due to the low memory capacity. Hope this thread would help others like me in the future.
