# Alternative Install Options
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Here lie some alternative installation options for Discourse. They're not the
|
||
|
|
recommended way of doing things, hence they're a bit out of the way.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Oh, and dragons. Lots of dragons.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Web Server Alternative: apache2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you instead want to use apache2 to serve the static pages:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Run these commands as your normal login (e.g. "michael")
|
||
|
|
# If you don't have apache2 yet
|
||
|
|
sudo apt-get install apache2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Edit your site details in a new apache2 config file
|
||
|
|
sudo vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/your-domain.com
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Put these info inside and change accordingly
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<VirtualHost *:80>
|
||
|
|
ServerName your-domain.com
|
||
|
|
ServerAlias www.your-domain.com
|

|

# Install the Passenger Phusion gem and run the install
|
||
|
|
gem install passenger
|
||
|
|
passenger-install-apache2-module
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Next, we "create" a new apache2 module, passenger
|
||
|
|
sudo vim /etc/apache2/mods-available/passenger.load
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Inside paste (change the user accodingly)
|
||
|
|
LoadModule passenger_module /home/YOUR-USER/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p0/gems/passenger-4.0.2/libout/apache2/mod_passenger.so
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Now the passenger module configuration
|
||
|
|
sudo vim /etc/apache2/mods-available/passenger.conf
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Inside, paste (change the user accodingly)
|
||
|
|
PassengerRoot /home/YOUR-USER/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p0/gems/passenger-4.0.2
|
||
|
|
PassengerDefaultRuby /home/YOUR-USER/.rvm/wrappers/ruby-2.0.0-p0/ruby
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Now activate them all
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
sudo a2ensite your-domain.com
|
||
|
|
sudo a2enmod passenger
|
||
|
|
sudo service apache2 reload
|
||
|
|
sudo service apache2 restart
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you get any errors starting or reloading apache, please check the paths above - Ruby 2.0 should be there if you are using RVM, but it could get tricky.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## RVM Alternative: Systemwide installation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Taken from http://rvm.io/, the commands below installs RVM and users in the 'rvm' group have access to modify state:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Run these commands as your normal login (e.g. "michael") \curl -s -S -L https://get.rvm.io | sudo bash -s stable
|
||
|
|
sudo adduser $USER rvm
|
||
|
|
newgrp rvm
|
||
|
|
. /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh
|
||
|
|
rvm requirements
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Build and install ruby
|
||
|
|
rvm install 2.0.0
|
||
|
|
gem install bundler
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When creating the `discourse` user, add him/her/it to the RVM group:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Run these commands as your normal login (e.g. "michael")
|
||
|
|
sudo adduser discourse rvm
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
RVM will be located in `/usr/local/rvm` directory instead of `/home/discourse/.rvm`, so update the crontab line respectively.
