Topic: RubyStack & JRubyStack / upgrading rails to 2.1 windows

Just came to the forum to ask rails 2.1 question :-). But I need something extra:

My PC, where I need rails 2.1 is not (and never will be) connected to Internet. So I need to move downloaded gem to the PC first and then install it with -l switch.

So, what else should I download to have rails 2.1 working within BitNami Stack without headache?
(I have WinXP-SP2 with RubyStack -0 currently)

Thank you in advance.

Topic: RubyStack & JRubyStack / problem in installing gems

I have problems in installing gems that need to be compiled locally like hpricot.
others gems have no problem but I get this error whenever I’m trying to install a gem that need to be compiled:

• extconf.rb failed *
  Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
  necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more
  details. You may need configuration options.

Gem files will remain installed in C:/PROGRA_1/BITNAM1/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/hpricot-0.6.161 for inspection.

can anyone shed some light?

Topic: Drupal / My 'live' site not working correctly

I think I got it :)

The rewrite urls option is enabled by default on a BitNami installation. You will need to modify the file ’.htaccess’ which is located in the Drupal directory and change

RewriteBase /drupal

to

Rewrite /10

Let us know if that works!

Topic: Drupal / My 'live' site not working correctly

Well

Here is the example site http://www.nerhos.org.uk/10/

As you can see the front page looks fine however when ever you log in/ go to admin (or whatever) it just gives a 404 error.

How did I do it?

1. Created the Drupal stack (6.4)
2. Uploaded this localhost files using FTP (as a test) to the live server
3. Created a sql database
4. Imported the tables from the localhost MYSql database to the live database
5. Modified the setiings php files with the correct MySql info (eg. user id etc)

... and that is all. The front page appears to work!!

But you can see the problem

THanks for helping me so far.

Topic: Drupal / My 'live' site not working correctly

Mmmm, can you explain in detail the steps you followed to upload Drupal to your server? Have you modified the Apache configuration file and dumped the old database into the new server?

Topic: Drupal / My 'live' site not working correctly

HI there

Do you mean the error logs on my live server? If so, I am unble to access them? Is there something basic I am missing when I upload a site to the production environment? I notice the 404 error calls for /drupal/index.php rather than /index.php (which I think it should be).

Is it something to do with how the root of the site is referenced?

Thanks once again (I am a newbie at this)

Topic: Articles / Install wordpress and mediawiki

Hi,

The server ports are probably conflicting because you installed the second stack when the first one was not running. You could change the last stack configuration by editing manually some files, but I think it’s easier to:

- Install LAMPStack and then install on top of it the WordPress and MediaWiki modules. That way, you can also install other PHP applications like Drupal or Joomla! without having to install other instances of Apache and MySQL.
- Uninstall MediaWiki Stack, start the WordPress Stack and then install the MediaWiki Stack once again. The installer will complain about Apache and MySQL default ports being in use, and will ask you for different ports.After that, it will configure the servers properly.

Cheers

Topic: Articles / Install wordpress and mediawiki

I have installed wordpress with bitnami stack. Working fine. However, I tried installing mediawiki on the same server and was not able to make it work. If I disable wordpress, them media wiki is on. I can’t get them to work together. Can some one please guide me on how to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance.

Topic: Drupal / My 'live' site not working correctly

Hi there

I have downloading the Drupal stack, installed it and am using it no problem – just great. However, the problem comes when I have finished the config of the local site and I want to upload it.

I upload it, change the setting.php file for the new database connection (user name, password etc)

I then visit the new site and the front page of the new uploaded Drupal site appears fine – again no probs. HOWEVER, when I go to say log in (or any other link that takes you away from the front page) I just get a 404 error

—-—-—-——
The requested URL /drupal/index.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
—-—-—-——

Why is this and how do I resolve the situation so that the site I have developed locally can be successfully uploaded – do yo or Conrad have the answer – what I am doing wrong ???

Realy appreciate your help on this one.

Topic: Stacks suggestions / Alfresco + Liferay

Hi Gary,

Thanks for the suggestion. It would be nice to have Java modules, similar to PHP application modules, to can install several Java applications in the same Stack. We will considerer Liferay and Alfresco integration in the future.

If you want to learn about about Liferay+Alfresco integration we advice this book, Liferay Portal Enterprise Intranets

Cheers.

Topic: Stacks suggestions / Alfresco + Liferay

It would be cool to have a install package that combined these two winners with the necessary dependencies. Think of it as a portal with a cms and dms ready to go.

Basically, your Liferay stack with Alfresco CMS and DMS added to it.

BitNami is awesome!

Topic: LAPPStack / Latest LAPPStack uses OLD version of PHP

Topic: MAPPStack / Using psql in Terminal, enabling plpgsql, etc.

Thanks. This is very useful. It’s working. I have uninstalled all other postgresql from my system. I so love this product! Thanks!

Now, one problem. One site that I want to test uses both “mysqli” (MySQL) and postgresql code.

So I have installed both MAMP and MAPP. This leads to useless repetition of Apache and PHP, but so be it. What I am trying to do is that I would like to start both pgsql and mysql (in their own stacks) but use one Apache installation across both. Everything basically works with paths inside my httpd.conf, but the problem I think is with PHP.INI.

Inside the MAPP stack (which is my main one, this apache is what I want to use), I have changed the php.ini to include the “mysql port” and “mysql.sock” commands—which I found to be different across the two stacks by running diff.

But this does not work.

Any idea how I can get both mysql and pgsql to work with the same apache and php install? Basically I am looking for a stack called “MAMPP” :)

Thanks

Topic: MAPPStack / Using psql in Terminal, enabling plpgsql, etc.

Hi,

You can type all postgreSQL commands in the terminal. Bitnami Stacks won’t interfere with any software already installed on your system so when you type “psql” probably you can not found the command or you are using another postgreSQL installation. To sue this command you should go to the “<installation_directory>/posgresql/bin” and execute ”./psql” directly. Another option is to load all the stack environment an you can type whatever Stack binary, for example:

$ cd <installation_directory>
$ . scripts/setenv.sh
$ pqsql --help

Regarding your second question, I’m not an expert on PostgreSQL but I read that you can modify the database language with this command:

$ <installation_directory>/postgresql/bin/createlang plpgsql <database_name>

I hope it helps.
