Engedit Manual
===========

Written with Python Flask Framework, if you want to port to PHP or Node.js, just change the templates in `app/templates` folder.

How to run the website
------------------------

* **SSH** Running from Mac or Linux console, use [putty](http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html) if you are on Windows:
    ```
    ssh -i ~/PATH/TO/engeditorg.pem ubuntu@ec2-54-242-188-118.compute-1.amazonaws.com
    ```
Note that the `engeditorg.pem` is located at `Engedit\帐号信息\Amazon_aws_secret_key`

* **Installation** (if you haven't install python flask and its extensions)
After you have logged in SSH,
    ```
    pip install -r requirements.txt  # install dependencies
    python manage.py db_create       # create database
    python manage.py db_content      # push some scheme into the database
    ```

* **Run**
    * Debug mode
    ```
    sudo python manage.py run_debug &
    ```

    * Production mode (using tornado to add more power to it)
    ```
    sudo python manage.py runserver_production_tornado &
    ```
    
    Try to run the code with `&` appended to the commend, to make it as a background process.

How to update the website
-------------------------

Two options:

1. Use [WinSCP](http://winscp.net/download/winscp551setup.exe) to copy edited templates to the remote SSH server. Remember to use the `engeditorg.pem` as the ssh option.
2. Directly login with SSH and edit the file directly from SSH, using console text editor like Vim or Pico

How to locate the content of the page:
1. Try to search by `grep` or other full text search tool to find content in the folder `app/templates`
2. Change the content if you like. Upload can be done with WinSCP.
