Installing Ecrire on CentOS 6.5 with Apache and Passenger. This is experimental and doesn't work. Don't try it.
@pothibo This works, but I'm still working out the procedure. I'll post it to the wiki when it's complete.
###Conventions:
Commands starting with a # should be run as root. All other commands will
be marked with a $ and should be run as a non-privileged user.
###Software Versions:
CentOS 6.5
Postgresql 9.3
Ruby 2.0.0p353
Rails 4.0.2
Apache 2.2.15
Passenger 4.0.37
Installed from minimal.iso into a VirtualBox VM
Install some basic needs
# yum install curl wget vim man
Install EPEL repos
Pull down the RPM
# wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
Install the repo
# rpm -Uvh epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
Disable the repo unless explicitly called for
# sed -i -e "s/enabled=1/enabled=0/g" /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo
An example of using the repo
# yum --enablerepo=epel install package-name-here
Install the development tools
# yum -y groupinstall "Development Tools"
We will create an RPM file from sources and install from the RPM
Install some additional development libraries
# yum --enablerepo=epel -y install libyaml libyaml-devel readline-devel ncurses-devel gdbm-devel tcl-devel openssl-devel db4-devel libffi-devel
If installing the development libraries fails on EPEL, do a # yum clean and try again
Make the build directories
# mkdir -p rpmbuild/{BUILD,BUILDROOT,RPMS,SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS}
Pull down the Ruby sources and specs
# wget http://cache.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/2.0/ruby-2.0.0-p353.tar.gz -P rpmbuild/SOURCES
# wget https://raw.github.com/hansode/ruby-2.0.0-rpm/master/ruby200.spec -P rpmbuild/SPECS
Build the RPM
# rpmbuild -bb rpmbuild/SPECS/ruby200.spec
Install the RPM
# rpm -Uvh rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/ruby-2.0.0p353-2.el6.x86_64.rpm
Test the installation
# ruby -v
# gem -v

Configure your YUM repository
Edit the file /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo
Add the following line to the [base] and [updates] sections
exclude=postgresql*
Download the lasted PGDG rpm
# curl -O http://yum.postgresql.org/9.3/redhat/rhel-6-x86_64/pgdg-centos93-9.3-1.noarch.rpm
Install the rpm distribution
# rpm -ivh pgdg-centos93-9.3-1.noarch.rpm
List available packages if needed
# yum list postgres*
Install Postgresql 9.3, development packages will be dependencies for gems that are installed later
# yum install postgresql93-server postgresql93-devel
Initialize the server
# service postgresql-9.3 initdb
Start the server
# service postgresql-9.3 start
Set the server up to start on boot
# chkconfig postgresql-9.3 on

Install Apache
# yum install httpd
Start the server
# service httpd start
Configure the server to start on boot
# chkconfig httpd on
Configure the firewall by adding the following lines to /etc/sysconfig/iptables:
-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT
(Second line is only needed for https)
Make sure this is above any lines that would globally restrict access, like the following:
-A INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited
Restart the the firewall
# service iptables restart
The v option is for the version, the V options is for verbose mode
# gem install rails -Vv 4.0.2
Install some library dependencies
# yum install httpd-devel curl-devel
Install the passenger gem
# gem install passenger -v 4.0.37
Install the Apache module
# passenger-install-apache2-module
Follow prompts on the module installation selecting Ruby as the language.
Create passenger.conf file in /etc/httpd/conf.d
LoadModule passenger_module /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/passenger-4.0.37/buildout/apache2/mod_passenger.so
<IfModule mod_passenger.c>
PassengerRoot /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/passenger-4.0.37
PassengerDefaultRuby /usr/bin/ruby
</IfModule>Restart the Apache server to apply the module
# service httpd restart
Deploying a web application: an example
Suppose you have a web application in /home/user/apps/ecrire. Add a virtual host to your Apache configuration file and set its DocumentRoot to /home/user/apps/ecrire/public:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.yourhost.com
# !!! Be sure to point DocumentRoot to 'public'!
DocumentRoot /home/user/apps/ecrire/public
<Directory /home/user/apps/ecrire/public>
# This relaxes Apache security settings.
AllowOverride all
# MultiViews must be turned off.
Options -MultiViews
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>Restart the Apache server to apply the new VirtualHost
# service httpd restart

Change permission for /srv/http
By default, /srv/http belongs to root's group and user. I prefer assigning it to the group http and let anyone on the group change the content of the directory.
chgrp -R http /srv/http
chmod g+w /srv/http
setenforce 0 for now until i figure out selinux, above might not be necessary
Set up database according to Ecrire wiki
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9964124/rake-dbmigrate-failed
then
sudo service postgresql-9.3 restart
write settings.local.yaml file according to wiki
sudo yum install libxml2-devel libxslt
sudo gem install pg -v '0.17.1' -- --with-pg-config=/usr/pgsql-9.3/bin/pg_config
do bundle install, will ask for password to install gems if not root already
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:migrate
