Rails Note #4: Deploying a Rails Application in a Subdirectory
Nov 7th
There are many ways to deploy RoR applications. I have googled all over the place and so far the easiest setup that I could find that would suit my needs (existing Apache2 + ColdFusion + TileCache) would be to use
1. Apache PROXY
2. Mongrel
CentOS Installation Instructions
1. Make sure Apache has mod_proxy
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 --enable-so --enable-rewrite --with-mpm=prefork --enable-proxy --enable-proxy-connect --enable-proxy-ftp --enable-proxy-httpd --enable-proxy-ajp --enable-proxy-balancer --enable-cgi
1. Apache Proxy
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName test
ProxyRequests Off
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass /localdumplings http://localhost:3000/localdumplings
ProxyPassReverse /localdumplings http://localhost:3000/localdumplings
#ProxyPass /localdumplings/ http://localhost:3000/
#ProxyPassReverse /localdumplings/ http://localhost:3000/
</VirtualHost>2. Starting mongrel on a subdir
mongrel_rails start –prefix=/localdumplings
Debian Installation Instructions
1. Install libapache2-mod-proxy-html is easier…
sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-proxy-html
2. Enable modules to load in apache2
sudo a2enmod proxy sudo a2enmod proxy_balancer sudo a2enmod proxy_http sudo a2enmod rewrite sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
3. Add the application in /etc/apache2/mods-available/proxy.conf
<IfModule mod_proxy.c>
#turning ProxyRequests on and allowing proxying from all may allow
#spammers to use your proxy to send email.
ProxyRequests Off
<Proxy *>
AddDefaultCharset off
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
#Allow from .example.com
</Proxy>
# Enable/disable the handling of HTTP/1.1 "Via:" headers.
# ("Full" adds the server version; "Block" removes all outgoing Via: headers)
# Set to one of: Off | On | Full | Block
ProxyPass /localdumplings http://localhost:3000/localdumplings
ProxyPassReverse /localdumplings http://localhost:3000/localdumplings
ProxyVia On
</IfModule>Starting a mongrel_rails on boot
Slicehost ( http://articles.slicehost.com/2007/9/21/debian-etch-apache-vhosts-rails-and-mongrels ) has a very good article regarding this.
mongrel_rails start -d -e production -p 8001 -P log/mongrel8001.pid -l log/mongrel.log
How to make Oracle start on boot
Sep 22nd
1. Login as root and edit /etc/oratab to reflect “Y”
orcl:/opt/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1:Y
2. oracle startup script:
#!/bin/bash # # oracle Init file for starting and stopping # Oracle Database. Script is valid for 10g and 11g versions. # # chkconfig: 35 80 30 # description: Oracle Database startup script # Source function library. . /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions ORACLE_OWNER="oracle" ORACLE_HOME="/opt/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1" case "$1" in start) echo -n $"Starting Oracle DB:" su - $ORACLE_OWNER -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart $ORACLE_HOME" su - $ORACLE_OWNER -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl start" echo "OK" ;; stop) echo -n $"Stopping Oracle DB:" su - $ORACLE_OWNER -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut $ORACLE_HOME" su - $ORACLE_OWNER -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl stop" echo "OK" ;; *) echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop}" esac
3. Oracle EMCTL
#!/bin/bash # # oraemctl Starting and stopping Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control. # Script is valid for 10g and 11g versions. # # chkconfig: 35 80 30 # description: Enterprise Manager DB Control startup script # Source function library. . /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions ORACLE_OWNER="oracle" ORACLE_HOME="/opt/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1" case "$1" in start) echo -n $"Starting Oracle EM DB Console:" su - $ORACLE_OWNER -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/emctl start dbconsole" echo "OK" ;; stop) echo -n $"Stopping Oracle EM DB Console:" su - $ORACLE_OWNER -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/emctl stop dbconsole" echo "OK" ;; *) echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop}" esac
4. chkconfig –add /etc/init.d/oracle
5. chkconfig –add /etc/init.d/oraemctl
Installing Oracle11g x64 on CentOS5
Jul 26th
FOR EDITING.. This is just a couple of notes from my Oracle testing a few weeks back that I forgot to post..
A. Installing
1. Check for rpm packages:
rpm -q binutils compat-db control-center gcc gcc-c++ glibc glibc-common gnome-libs libstdc++ libstdc++-devel make pdksh sysstat xscreensaver libaio openmotif21 elfutils-libelf libaio-devel libgcc
NOTE: For 10g, you need libXp.so.6 installed. It seems the oracle installer is messed up with some i386 modules pointing to x86? Anyway, I was able to resolve the problem by installing the libXp.i386.rpm version.
2. install the necessary rpm packages:
rpm -ivh compat-db-4.2.52-5.1.x86_64.rpm rpm -ivh libgnome-2.16.0-6.el5.x86_64.rpm rpm -ivh sysstat-7.0.0-3.el5.x86_64.rpm rpm -ivh libaio-devel-0.3.106-3.2.x86_64.rpm rpm -ivh lm_sensors-2.10.0-3.1.x86_64.rpm rpm -ivh beecrypt-devel-4.1.2-10.1.1.x86_64.rpm elfutils-devel-0.125-3.el5.x86_64.rpm net-snmp-devel-5.3.1-19.el5.x86_64.rpm elfutils-devel-static-0.125-3.el5.x86_64.rpm net-snmp-5.3.1-19.el5.x86_64.rpm net-snmp-libs-5.3.1-19.el5.x86_64.rpm
3. vim /etc/profile
ORACLE_BASE=/opt/oracle/product ORACLE_SID=csdbora ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1 export ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_SID ORACLE_HOME PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/lib
4. Create oracle Account
groupadd oinstall groupadd dba useradd -m -g oinstall -G dba oracle id oracle
uid=501(oracle) gid=501(oinstall) groups=501(oinstall),502(dba)
5. Run modify_kernel.sh
cat >> /etc/sysctl.conf << EOF kernel.shmall = 2097152 kernel.shmmax = 1073741824 kernel.shmmni = 4096 kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128 fs.file-max = 65536 net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1025 65000 net.core.rmem_default = 262144 net.core.wmem_default = 262144 net.core.rmem_max = 262144 net.core.wmem_max = 262144 EOF
6. vim /etc/sysctl.conf and comment kernel.shmall and kernel.shmmax because if
you don’t then we will have double results
7. /sbin/sysctl -p
8. Create Directories:
mkdir -p /u01 mkdir -p /opt/oracle mkdir -p /opt/oracle/product chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01 chown -R oracle:oinstall /opt/oracle chmod -R 755 /u01 chmod -R 755 /opt/oracle chmod -R 755 /opt/oracle/product
9. Run sh -v modify_shelllimits.sh
10. Add the ff lines in /etc/pam.d/login
session required /lib/security/pam_limits.so
session required pam_limits.so
11. cp -rf /home/installers/linux.x64_11gR1_database.zip /opt/oracle
12. chown oracle:oinstall /opt/oracle/linux.x64_11gR1_database.zip
13. Clost all terminals and logout as root from desktop.
14. Login as oracle
15. Follow tutorial until installing oracle
Installing Oracle 11g on CentOS under VMWare on a Macbook.doc

SquirrelMail SMTP Authentication
Jan 4th
Just a quick note to myself… A co-worker just notified me that they cannot send email using the web interface–squirrelmail.
squirrelmail Server replied: 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.5.3 - chkuser)
This qmailrocks forum thread gives a quick workaround. Just set “SMTP AUTHENTICATION” to login as noted below.
/usr/share/squirrelmail/config/config.php
$no_list_for_subscribe = false;
$smtp_auth_mech = 'login';
$imap_auth_mech = 'login';
$use_imap_tls = false;
Debian, Centos, Ubuntu
Jul 27th
I didn’t have much time blogging for the past week. But since July 18, I am running Debian, Centos and Ubuntu on my desktop.
1. Install CentOS 5.
2. Manually partition as follows:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux (boot)
/dev/sda2 14 3837 30716280 83 Linux (/)
/dev/sda3 3838 4090 2032222+ 82 Linux swap
3. Put bootloader grub on mbr.
4. Reboot.
5. Install Ubuntu
6. Manually partition.
/dev/sda4 4091 19457 123435427+ 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 19446 19457 96390 83 Linux
/dev/sda6 19204 19444 1935801 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda7 15556 19202 29294496 83 Linux
7. Install bootloader on /boot of /dev/sda4
8. Reboot.
9. Install Debian 7
10. Manually partition as follows:
/dev/sda8 4091 4102 96327 83 Linux
/dev/sda9 4103 4343 1935801 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda10 4344 7990 29294496 83 Linux
11. Reboot.
Hurray! Key point here is to install the bootloader on mbr first then, installing successive loaders in /boot of other distros.
