Fuller Deployment Instructions?

[Dan Caseley]

I'm trying to install MozTrap on an AWS box for our company, but I'm struggling with the "Deployment" instructions.

I picked Ubuntu Server, as I'm plentifully comfortable with apt-get.

I was able to clone the git repo, run the install-reqs, the syncdb, the runserver. Being a text-only server, I couldn't test the output of "manage.py runserver" - that it ran was a good sign. From there, I needed to sort the apache / alternative to host the WSGI. This is where I fell down. I chose apache because it's the one I had most experience with. The django layer between the two is causing problems. The apache server serves an HTTP/500 and the apache log says it can't find the django dependency in the WSGI file.

Are there any more detailed instructions after the build?

Here's a pretty-much blow for blow of what I did from a clean Ubuntu 12.04.

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo apt-get install mysql-server php5-mysql libmysqlclient-dev python2.7-dev build-essential git

curl -O http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py

curl -O https://pypi.python.org/packages/2.7/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg

curl -O https://raw.github.com/pypa/pip/master/contrib/get-pip.py

sudo python distribute_setup.py

sudo sh setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg

sudo python get-pip.py

sudo pip install virtualenv

sudo pip install virtualenvwrapper

export WORKON_HOME=~/Envs

mkdir -p $WORKON_HOME

source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

git clone --recursive git://github.com/mozilla/moztrap

cd moztrap

git checkout 1.4.7

mkvirtualenv moztrap

bin/install-reqs

mysql -u root -p

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO ubuntu@localhost;

exit

echo "CREATE DATABASE moztrap CHARACTER SET utf8" | mysql

./manage.py syncdb --migrate

./manage.py create_default_roles

./manage.py runserver

sudo apt-get install apache2

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-wsgi

#Run a2dissite to remove the 000-default apache site

#Create a new sites-available file, pointing at the WSGI

#Run a2ensite on the file to get the site up

After spending a while trying & failing with this, I threw the box away and started over using this guide:

http://gilang.chandrasa.com/moztrap-nginx-gunicorn-and-ubuntu/

This flows nicely, but runs aground due to limited info towards the end.

I fixed it though, and I'm replying to my own post in hopes that it helps a Googler of the future.

These are the steps I took from a clean launch of the Ubuntu Server 12.04 AMI to working system.

The only thing that went vaguely wrong was the bin/install-reqs - running it as sudo didn't give the current user the rights over certain things. Running it without sudo failed the first time round. I've left the non-sudo version in, but in real life, I ran it first with sudo, then without. It works, but it's ugly. I'm hoping someone else can fix it.

Stuff between +++'s are manual instructions. Stuff between ==='s are copy-n-pastes. The rest should be plain runnable.

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

sudo reboot

sudo apt-get install mysql-server php5-mysql libmysqlclient-dev python2.7-dev build-essential git python-setuptools nginx python-dev

sudo easy_install pip

sudo pip install virtualenv virtualenvwrapper gunicorn

source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

git clone --recursive git://github.com/mozilla/moztrap

cd moztrap

mkvirtualenv moztrap

bin/install-reqs

cd moztrap/settings/

sudo cp local.sample.py local.py
