Upgrading to the new gitorious

[Thomas]

Hi,

thanks for the tips you provided on the upgrade page in gitorious-
wiki. They helped a lot for setting up the new gitorious. I managed to
solve a few issues, but finally i stuck at getting sessions running.

A few notes to the upgrade difficulties - at least for a rails noob
like me (actually i used the stompserver, perhaps my tips are not
necessary when using ActiveMQ):
- Get your stompserver running (gem install stompserver, then start
it up)
- You need memcached installed (aptitude install memcached)
- Copy config/broker.yml.example to config/broker.yml (I didn't need
to change anything there)
- As the login & register page needs ssl, you have to setup a
gitorious-ssl site in apache

The problems i couldn't solve yet:
- db-migration aborted (see below [1])
- The session management doesn't work. After typing in my login or
registering a new user, I'm redirected to 500 error page. I even don't
get a message from the server what's going on :-( Could be some
problem with the apache server, but starting script/server doesn't
help either, because the login/register links are broken due to ssl
usage.

Any ideas?

Thomas,
Thanks for a great writeup, this will probably be useful for other
folks upgrading/installing Gitorious on their own systems. I've added
a few comments below.

If you don't want to use memcached, you may use another session
store. In the relevant environment file (probably config/environments/
production.rb), change the line

config.cache_store = :mem_cache_store, "localhost"

to for instance

config.cache_store = :memory_store

to use the memory store instead. There's an article covering the cache
stores in Rails at http://thewebfellas.com/blog/2008/6/9/rails-2-1-now-with-better-integrated-caching
. Installing memcached is probably a good idea for a production
environment, though.

Actually, you can skip the SSL requirement. If you add the line

SslRequirement.disable_ssl_check = true

into (for instance) <gitorious_root>/config/environments/
production.rb, the SSL requirement will be skipped.

From your stack trace below it seems you need to update Rake on your
system. If you've installed Rake through rubygems, use `[sudo] gem
install rake`, of course replace sudo with whatever fits your system
best.

Good luck!

Hi Marius,

thanks for your comments!

Actually, I installed rake 0.8.5 yesterday, but I had rake 0.8.1
installed as debian-package too. I removed the package and now the
migrate works fine. Deactivating SSL & memcached both works fine too,
but I still can't create new sessions, i.e. using login or register
pages.

Any advices?

Greets, Thomas

Could you have a look in the logfile (log/production.log) and paste
the trace generated there?

Cheers

Sorry, i forgot to paste the trace, here it is. Perhaps it's a problem
with passenger 2.06, i'm trying 2.2.2 now and tell my results if it's
running then.

Hi Marius,

it seems passenger 2.0.6 does not work for the new gitorious. Version
2.2.2 works fine!

Thank you very much.
