Installation Issues

[Thomas Bennett]

I'm having some installation issues. From the website and what I've heard its really easy to install but I'm not having much luck. Locally, I'm on a Mac just running Apache but when copy the Apache mod_proxy lines from the install and set up the my URL http://scm.dev, it won't load. The default localhost:8080 doesn't load with my setup. I need to replicate this on another server (redhat/linux) but can't seem to find anyone having the same installation issues that I am.

I thought maybe I need Tomcat and stuff but idk. When I ran ./scm-server/bin/scm-server I get a brief popup that goes away before I can see what it is and I can scroll through all the information that is listed from the cli and I can see a few instances of: Caused by: java.net.SocketException: Permission denied

Okay -- I needed a few things that I found nowhere. 

Command line may need to open the port 8080

sudo ipfw -q add 10 allow tcp from any to any 8080 in

sudo ipfw -q add 20 allow tcp from any to any 8080 out
sudo vim /etc/hosts

++add host entry 127.0.0.1 scm.dev

ProxyPass /scm http://localhost:8080/scm
ProxyPassReverse /scm http://localhost:8080/scm
ProxyPassReverse  /scm  http://scm.dev:8080/scm
<Location /scm>
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
</Location>

Uncomment following line:

<Set name="forwarded">true</Set>

Restart apache and visit http://scm.dev will redirect to scm.dev/scm 

Hope this helps someone
