ChicagoBoss Admin install Notes

README

This is a config guide to add the cb_admin to a sample application.

https://github.com/evanmiller/chicagoboss_admin

The dir structure is thus:

~/erlang/
~/erlang/ChicagoBoss
~/erlang/cb_admin 
~/erlang/mynewproject

Symlinks are ok, but those names for ChichageBoss and cb_admin must at this point in time exist.

Clone or download, I ran this of MASTER.

Assumption#1, you have a working ChicagoBoss, if not cd and make.
Assumption#2, you have a built and simple mynewproject application.

cd cb_admin && make
> erl -pa ebin/ -pa ../ChicagoBoss/ebin -eval 'boss_load:load_all_modules_and_emit_app_file(cb_admin, "ebin")' -s init stop -noshell

cd ..

Next step alter the configuration of boss.config and start-dev.sh to reflect the environment, path etc.

If all is well, running ./start-dev.sh should work, visit localhost:8001/admin


 

boss.config

[{boss, [
    {applications, [mynewproject, cb_admin]},
    {db_host, "localhost"},
    {db_port, 1978},
    {db_adapter, mock},
    {log_dir, "log"},
    {server, mochiweb},
    {port, 8001},
    {session_adapter, mock},
    {session_key, "_boss_session"},
    {session_exp_time, 525600}
]},
{ mynewproject, [
    {base_url, "/"}
    ]},
  {cb_admin, [
  {allow_ip_blocks, ["127.0.0.1"]},
  {base_url, "/admin"}
  ]}  
].

start-dev.sh
