in brackets):
* A python interpreter
- * djano
+ * django
* A webserver (apache)
* mod_python or flup
* A database server (postgresql)
user that your mail server runs as). On Ubuntu these are
www-data and nobody, respectively.
- PostgreSQL:
- createdb patchwork
- createuser www-data
- createuser nobody
+ For PostgreSQL
- MySQL:
+ $ createdb patchwork
+ $ createuser www-data
+ $ createuser nobody
+
+ - postgres uses the standard UNIX authentication, so these users
+ will only be accessible for processes running as the same username.
+ This means that no passwords need to be set.
+
+ For MySQL:
$ mysql
> CREATE DATABASE 'patchwork';
- > INSERT INTO user (Host, User) VALUES ('localhost', 'www-data');
- > INSERT INTO user (Host, User) VALUES ('localhost', 'nobody');
+ > CREATE USER 'www-data'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '<password>';
+ > CREATE USER 'nobody'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '<password>';
2. Django setup
- You'll need to customise apps/settings.py to suit your database, and
- change the SECRET_KEY variable too. While you're there, change the
- following to suit your installation:
+ Set up some initial directories in the patchwork base directory:
+
+ mkdir -p lib/packages lib/python
+
+ At the time of release, patchwork depends on django version 1.0.
+ However, most distros don't provide 1.0 yet. If yours does, then you
+ can skip this step. Otherwise, do a:
+
+ cd lib/packages
+ svn checkout http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/tags/releases/1.0
+ cd ../python
+ ln -s ../packages/django/django ./django
+
+ We also use the django-registration infrastructure from
+ http://code.google.com/p/django-registration/
+
+ cd lib/packages/
+ svn checkout \
+ http://django-registration.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/registration/ \
+ django-registration
+ cd ../../apps
+ ln -s ../lib/packages/django-registration ./registration
+
+ We also use some Javascript libraries:
+
+ cd lib/packages
+ mkdir jquery
+ cd jquery
+ wget http://jqueryjs.googlecode.com/files/jquery-1.3.min.js
+ wget http://www.isocra.com/articles/jquery.tablednd_0_5.js.zip
+ unzip jquery.tablednd_0_5.js.zip jquery.tablednd_0_5.js
+ cd ../../../htdocs/js/
+ ln -s ../../lib/packages/jquery/jquery-1.3.min.js ./
+ ln -s ../../lib/packages/jquery/jquery.tablednd_0_5.js ./
+
+ The settings.py file contains default settings for patchwork, you'll
+ need to configure settings for your own setup.
+
+ Rather than edit settings.py, create a file 'local_settings.py', and
+ override or add settings as necessary. You'll need to define the
+ following:
- ADMINS,
+ SECRET_KEY
+ ADMINS
TIME_ZONE
LANGUAGE_CODE
+
+ You can generate the SECRET_KEY with the following python code:
+
+ import string, random
+ chars = string.letters + string.digits + string.punctuation
+ print repr("".join([random.choice(chars) for i in range(0,50)]))
+
+ If you have patchwork installed in somewhere other than /srv/patchwork,
+ you'll also need to define:
+
MEDIA_ROOT
+ TEMPLATE_DIRS
+
+ If you wish to enable the XML-RPC interface, add the following to
+ your local_settings.py file:
+
+ ENABLE_XMLRPC = True
Then, get patchwork to create its tables in your configured database:
cd apps/
- ./manage.py syncdb
+ PYTHONPATH=../lib/python ./manage.py syncdb
And add privileges for your mail and web users:
Postgresql:
- psql -f lib/sql/grant-all.sql patchwork
+ psql -f lib/sql/grant-all.postgres.sql patchwork
+
+ MySQL:
+ mysql patchwork < lib/sql/grant-all.mysql.sql
3. Apache setup
You'll probably want to do the following:
* Set up your projects
-
+ * Configure your website address (in the Sites) section of the admin
5. Subscribe a local address to the mailing list
doesn't have access to the patchwork tables in the database. Check that
your web-server user exists in the database, and that it has permissions
to the tables.
+
+* pwclient fails for actions that require authentication, but a username
+ and password is given int ~/.pwclient rc. Server reports "No authentication
+ credentials given".
+
+ - if you're using the FastCGI interface to apache, you'll need the
+ '-pass-header Authorization' option to the FastCGIExternalServer
+ configuration directive.
