Installation on CentOS

[Blaine]

So this is my 3rd installation of a pod (switching machines/finally
putting it on a dedicated host instead of a home box) and the VPN came
with centos. "o.k, no problem" i thought. I have used R.H distro's
before, shouldn't be too hard? It wasn't to hard to install ruby or
even most of the gem's. I even got a green light from bundler. But
when I run ./script/server from diaspora, i get the following error:

Invalid gemspec in [/home/diaspora/.ruby/1.8/specifications/oauth2-
provider-0.0.19.gemspec]: Illformed requirement
["#<YAML::Syck::DefaultKey:0xb6926efc> 2.0.0.rc.6"]

I then tried to install oauth2-provider version 0.0.19. I get the same
error and even when it says it's successfully installed, i have no
luck. I have racked my brain over this and I cant figure it out. Any
suggestions? Log below of last time I tried to use ./script/server and
trying to manually install oauth2-provider.

I'm an rhce, and for obvious reasons, a red hat/centos fan....

I run my pod on ubuntu 11.  It just works better.

I think this group collectively has the most experience installing on Ubuntu, out of all the Linux flavors.  If you want to keep centos, try upgrading rubygems.

gem update --system

[Blaine]

I'll see if i can just switch that that then. Thanks!

[Blaine]

Thanks for the suggestion Sarah, but that was my first guest as well but it didn't do anything. I have had the most success before this on Ubuntu as well, I was only using CentOS because my friend has a (mostly unused) dedicated box they use to run several minecraft servers and a website (less then 50% of ram,CPU and hardrive space used) and i would be able to use it for free. Though at this point it seams more hassle then anything. Iv been looking into VPS the last few days and i was wondering- how much ram would it take to run a minimal install of diaspora? If someone could just give me a rough estimate it would be greatly appreciated.

[Rekado]

384MB worked barely for me. Running my pod (and a bunch of other stuff) now with 512MB RAM VPS.

I think you should use ruby 1.9.2
Also, RVM really helps with all the ruby/gem stuff.

(I am running my server on CentOS 6.2 with RVM on ruby 1.9.2)

[Blaine]

I did try running it on 1.9.2 with rvm once before (iv tried installing on centos 2-3 times at the time i wrote this post) and to no avail. I did just check the build status of the git repo ( http://travis-ci.org/#!/diaspora/diaspora ) and it is currently not working, could that be one of my problems? Maybe the file's for ruby are calling for the wrong gem's/in the wrong places? (truth be told im a total noob at git) Would anyone be able to tell me how to pull from git an earlier patch? Like maybe 1227?

[Blaine]

Alright, I just wanted to say thanks, and yes it was due to the version of diaspora. I used the git --restart <cashe> comamnd to get it back to a working version. (writing this out so anyone else with this error knows) But because i installed using the --without test heroku, oink wasn't installed causing a rake abort. I'm goign to try re-installing everything on a fresh slate and see how it goes. I love using a vpn.

[Ricardo Wurmus]

Oh, cool. To get the latest version you need to simply pull from master:

git pull origin master

It's 8 am here in China and I work from home today. If you still need
my help, just let me know. It might be easier for me to check on this
today as I have easier access to my own server from home.

[Blaine]

I actually had to pull an older version, but i was able to figure it out thankyou :). The only issue i have now is Oink causing rack to stop during ./script/server so i'm going to install it all over again. Is it okay if i send you an email in the next 1-2 hours if i run into any more trouble with oink? Thanks so much!

[Ricardo Wurmus]

I don't know oink, to be honest, but sure, you can send me an email if
you get in trouble.
Good luck!

[Blaine]

Hey ricardo, i only really have one question left. I was able to figure it all out after using bundle install without --test heroku and got all the SSL information set up (self signed at the minute). But for some reason it's not recognizing where my diaspora public folder is (currently at /diaspora/public) . It was created during root (i know you're not supposed to-i will fix later on i want to get it all running at the moment) 

For document root i have it as follows in httpd.conf

"DomunetRoot /diaspora/public/"

Apache is then saying their is no file or directory, any suggestions?

Should rather be something like
DocumentRoot /home/diaspora/public

O.

[Ricardo Wurmus]

Are you using passenger? Apache doesn't know what to do with rails, it
can only proxy to an application server, unless of course you are
using passenger.

On my pod I use nginx, but at work I host all rails applications with
passenger and Apache.

If you are starting Diaspora with script/server (which I do), then you
should only instruct Apache to proxy to the server application by
passing requests to the local default port 3000.

[Blaine]

How could I instruct apache to proxy to the server application? I'm quite a noob at all this.

[Blaine]

Er-nevermind.
