I tried hard because I wanted to use a Stack Overflow-like service, but it failed. If you use PHP's Question2Answer instead, you'll succeed without much effort.
The following is a record that ended up in vain.
I wanted to run a Stack Overflow clone on Sakura's VPS CentOS, so I tried to put in Shapado, which is written in Rails and is also active in development, but failed, so this time I used AskBot written in Python framework Django. I decided to use it. I hope the installation will be successful this time.
Apparently I use pip or ʻeasy_install` for installation, but I don't know that!
Both look like Python package management commands, but don't use easy_install or any other name you might have. Since pip is an extension of easy_install, it's best to use pip unless you have a specific reason.
Python has 2.7.3, but it doesn't seem to be included by default because nothing comes out even if I do $ which pip or $ which easy_install. So
$ wget http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py
$ sudo python ez_setup.py
$ sudo easy_install pip
Put easy_install and pip in.
Now that you're ready, install Askbot.
$ sudo pip install askbot
If you think "Oh, this is easy. Yahoi (='▽` =) no "
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pytz (from askbot) (from versions: 2011h, 2010b, 2012f, 2010e, 2005m, 2011e, 2010l, 2011k, 2010e, 2009u, 2008c, 2006j, 2009f, 2005m, 2009j, 2009g, 2005k, 2010g, 2010h, 2007c, 2009i, 2007k, 2008g, 2008g, 2009j, 2007i, 2006g, 2008h, 2008i, 2009i, 2006p, 2009p, 2010k, 2007f, 2008i, 2009l, 2009i, 2008g, 2007d, 2010l, 2007k, 2007g, 2009g, 2007c, 2009n, 2009e, 2008c, 2007i, 2008a, 2010o, 2006g, 2009a, 2009p, 2009a, 2010l, 2007k, 2010h, 2007c, 2009r, 2006j, 2011c, 2011j, 2012h, 2009u, 2006g, 2009g, 2005r, 2010b, 2009n, 2009u, 2010g, 2005k, 2007i, 2006p, 2011b, 2013b, 2005k, 2005m, 2006p, 2005r, 2009r, 2009f, 2006j, 2009p, 2009n, 2009l, 2009j, 2008h, 2009e, 2009d, 2008b, 2010o, 2008b, 2008i, 2011k, 2009d, 2009a, 2009r, 2010k, 2010e, 2007f, 2008a, 2008a, 2009d, 2008h, 2012j, 2008b, 2009e, 2007f, 2010k, 2010g, 2011e, 2012h, 2011g, 2012g, 2011g, 2011c, 2013d, 2011e, 2011h, 2012j, 2011n, 2007d, 2012g, 2011j, 2008c, 2009f, 2013b, 2007g, 2005r, 2012c, 2012j, 2010b, 2009l, 2007g, 2012b, 2011c, 2011g, 2012c, 2011d, 2011d, 2012d, 2011k, 2012b, 2011n, 2012f, 2012f, 2010o, 2007d, 2012b, 2012c, 2011h, 2013d, 2013b, 2010h, 2011d, 2012d, 2011n, 2013d, 2011j, 2012g, 2012d, 2004b) Cleaning up... No distributions matching the version for pytz (from askbot)
I was angry at the strangely long error message and dented.
It seems that pip uses only stable packages by default, so
$ sudo pip install --pre askbot
Then it seems OK.
The recommendation seems to be PostgreSQL. Since PostgreSQL is already included, install only python related packages
$ sudo pip install psycopg2
Then
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode
I got an error, so when I looked it up, it seems that I have to insert python-devel.
$ sudo yum install python-devel
After that, I installed psycopg2 again and it succeeded.
psql -U username -d postgres
Log in with
postgres=> create database database_no_namae with owner=username;
CREATE DATABASE
postgres=> alter user username with password 'himitsu_no_pass';
postgres=> \q
Create a database for Askbot, and if you haven't decided on a password, set a password for the user.
And add the following description at the top of pg_hba.conf
local database_no_namae username md5
However, finding out where this pg_hba.conf is located seems to be quite annoying.
It was in /var/lib/pgsql/9.2/data/pg_hba.conf in my environment, but it may be somewhere else.
See the reference link for details.
Then restart postgresql
$ sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql-9.2 restart
……tired. Well, this is the beginning of the setting of Askbot itself.
First, create a directory to put Askbot. Be careful not to include . at this time. (Because it violates Python's module name rules.)
In my case, I created it like / home / username / apps / askbotnobasyo.
Go to the directory you created and hit $ askbot-setup there.
Then a file for setting up will be created, so use the install command collectstatic.
$ python manage.py collectstatic
And database initialization
$ python manage.py syncdb
Then again, Type Error: Item in from list'' not a string came out and I was about to break my heart.
I found information that I should update to 1.4.2 in the Deller that says Django version is 1.4, but I don't even know how to update or even find out the Django version.
$ python
Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Jul 10 2013, 22:48:45)
[GCC 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-3)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import django
>>> django.get_version()
'1.5.2'
If this was 1.4 at least, I could have tried the update ...
-- Time elapsed --
Apparently 1.5 is too new to use, so downgrade to 1.4. However, when I researched it, it seems common sense to use a module that builds a Python environment in a specific directory called virtualenv, and only answers based on that are given.
Since there is no help for it, I will create an environment with virtualenv and re-install Askbot there. First install virtualenv
$ sudo pip install virtualenv
Create a virtual environment, activate the virtual environment, then install Django 1.4.5
$ virtualenv askbotnobasyo
$ cd askbotnobasyo
$ . /bin/activate
$ pip install django==1.4.5
Create an initialization file for askbot
$ askbot-setup
It ends when you answer what you are asked. And
$ python manage.py collectstatic
Then all static files such as .css and .js are generated in one folder ...
... No! !! It's an error again! Fake! !!
After all, let's stop using virtualenv. There is only one environment anyway.
So escape from virtualenv with $ deactivate.
I didn't know how to downgrade Django, so I used virtualenv, but when I thought about it, I noticed that "uninstall-> install is ok."
$ sudo pip uninstall django
$ sudo pip install django==1.4.5
So create a project folder and move to it
$ askbot-setup
$ python manage.py collectstatic
$ python manage.py syncdb
Until now, I had stumbled on an error, but I finally got it! !! !! Yay! !!
First, take a domain and register Sakura's VPS in that domain. If you don't understand here, please refer to other sites.
So, Nginx is already working in my environment, so it's through. For the time being, set the domain so that it can access the server running on Nginx.
It seems that pypi can be used to install uWGSI. I think the command for pypi is pip.
$ sudo pip install uwgsi
And of course the UnicodeDecodeError that comes back
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe3 in position 17: ordinal not in range(128)
It seems that this happens because the * -devel package is missing, but if so, please write the error message like that.
It seems that uwgsi needs libevent-devel as well as python-devel, so put it in.
$ yum install libevent-devel
So, I tried $ sudo pip install uwgsi, but it still works. According to the information on other sites, there are also libxml2-devel and python-pip, so try using $ sudo yum install libxml2-devel python-pip.
Finally succeeded with the third $ sudo pip install uwsgi!
Create Nginx settings /etc/nginx/site-available/example.com.conf with
$ sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/site-available/example.com.conf /etc/nginx/site-enabled/exsample.com.conf
Then open the config file with $ sudo vi exsample.com.conf
server {
listen 80;
server_name exmaple.com;
access_log /var/log/nginx/example.com.access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/exmaple.com.error.log info;
location / {
include uwsgi_params;
uwsgi_pass localhost:44863
#uwsgi_param UWSGI_PYHOME /path/to/your/virtualenv;
uwsgi_param UWSGI_SCRIPT wsgi; #this is the name of the script
uwsgi_param UWSGI_CHDIR /home/username/apps/appname;
}
location /m/ {
#use this for askbot <= 0.7.39
#alias /path/to/your/virtualenv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/askbot/skins/;
alias /home/username/apps/appname/static/;
autoindex off;
}
location /upfiles/ {
alias /home/username/apps/appname/askbot/upfiles/;
autoindex off;
}
location /admin/media {
alias /home/username/apps/appname/static/admin; #or path to admin media in <= 0.7.39
autoindex off;
}
}
Then restart with $ sudo service nginx restart. If there is a mistake in the setting, an error will occur here.
Rename django.wsgi in the project folder to wsgi.py and then start uwsgi with various options.
$ sudo uwsgi --chdir=/home/username/apps/appname \
--module='appname.wsgi:application' \
--env DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=appname.settings \
--master --pidfile=/tmp/project-master.pid \
--socket=127.0.0.1:44863 \
--processes=5 \
--harakiri=20 \
--limit-as=128 \
--max-requests=5000 \
--vacuum --daemonize=/var/log/uwsgi/appname.log
