Installing Collaboa is really annoying most of the time, and I went thru some
pain this time just getting it running for Fluxbuntu. But here it
is. I finally can look at all my
revisions without straining my brain to read svndiffs.
Hopefully, http://dev.fluxbuntu.org will be pointing at it shortly.
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 mysql mysql-devel
sudo gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-config
Now, get the trunk:
svn co http://svn.collaboa.org/svn/collaboa/trunk/ collaboa --username=anon --password=anon
I’m going to use SQLLite for this project. I have to make the database:
touch db/pdn.db
Here’s my database.yml:
production:
adapter: sqlite3
dbfile: db/pdn.db
Now, I have to tell it where my repositories are (config/repository.yml):
production:
repos_path: /path/to/repos/hank
Now that the database and repository files are setup, I have to import the schema and default settings:
RAILS_ENV="production" rake db_schema_import
RAILS_ENV="production" ruby db/default_content.rb
Now I finally sync the repository with the database:
./script/repository_syncer
Time to start mongrel!
mongrel_rails start -p 3010
Now, I redirect the apache server to mongrel when /browse is accessed (I’m running mongrel on port 3010)(bottom of conf.d/svn.conf):
Redirect /browse http://example.com/browse
ProxyPass /browse/ http://localhost:3010/browse/
ProxyPassReverse /browse/ http://localhost:3010/browse/
