I found an interesting article today about WordPress.  It was how to make it live in another directory. I needed that, so I followed the instructions, and it worked. WordPress is so much easier to install and configure than Mephisto.  It’s even easier to use than Mephisto.  I can see almost no reason anyone would [...]

I had some difficulty along the way, and I have some fixes for those of you who are having trouble converting. I found that Mephisto is actually very friendly to the ./script/console hacker. Also, though it took a while to actually get a response, I ended up getting direct help from technoweenie in #mephisto@irc.freenode.net, which [...]

So, Apache (httpd) was hanging for some reason, and it was really perplexing. I turned on the mod_status stuff and looked at the results, and found that the hung processes were caused when requests went to certain Subversion repositories. All I had to do was svnadmin recover them, and all was well. Otherwise, I found [...]

So, after a day of working on it, I finally fixed the problems I was having. I wanted to have Apache forward all traffic hitting a path to a mongrel server running in a rails application. So, I did as bish0p suggested, and set up the rails app to accept this behavior. First, I put [...]

Well, I guess I might as well finish the job as much as I can before bed. I’m going to install Collaboa. Here’s the beginning: Get rails and mongrel, along with all the deps: sudo gem install rails mongrel redcloth syntax sqlite3-ruby xhtmldiff Now, get ruby-mysql, which requires some junk on FC5: sudo yum install [...]

This will let you redirect an apache request to a local mongrel or webrick server. Very handy, yet maybe some logging of the used ports would be good at some point. <VirtualHost collaboa.example.com:80> Servername collaboa.example.com CustomLog /www/collaboa/logs/access.log combined ErrorLog /www/collaboa/logs/error.log ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:3005/ ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:3005/ </VirtualHost>

I was trying to move the subversion server today, and found some good tips, but I had some problems today building subversion, so I decided I better write the process down. While I’m at it, I better detail the steps to install apache as well. Apache Get the trunk, and go to the source library [...]
