[Instantrails-users] typo installation, httpd configuration
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
I have updated the wiki to show how to install typo. Ineffect, it''s
really
quite simple, hardly any changes are needed; just the usual vhost and .htaccess
modifications. All of the routing problems were only visible on Apache2, and
theming issues are with the themes, not typo.
On that note, the default VirtualHost entry that comes with Instant Rails needs
updating, it''s way to complicated.
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.mycookbook.com
# handle all requests through SCGI
# CHANGE #1: change to /scgi-bin/
SCGIMount /scgi-bin/ 127.0.0.1:9999
DocumentRoot ${path}/rails_apps/cookbook/public
<Directory ${path}/rails_apps/cookbook/public>
Options +FollowSymLinks
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
AddDefaultCharset utf-8
ErrorDocument 500 /500.html
ErrorDocument 404 /404.html
#CHANGE #2: remove everything below
# # matches locations with a dot following at least one more characters,
# # that is, things like *.html, *.css, *.js, which should be delivered
# # directly from the filesystem. Also matches the following
# # subdirectories: images, javascript(s), stylesheets
# <LocationMatch
^/(images|javascript|javascripts|stylesheets|[^/]+\.[^/]+$)>
# # don''t handle those with SCGI
# SCGIHandler Off
# </LocationMatch>
# <LocationMatch "^/$">
# # don''t handle just / with SCGI
# SCGIHandler Off
# </LocationMatch>
</VirtualHost>
Or, as one unit, here''s what it should be:
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.mycookbook.com
# Set up SCGI handler
SCGIMount /scgi-bin/ 127.0.0.1:9999
DocumentRoot ${path}/rails_apps/cookbook/public
<Directory ${path}/rails_apps/cookbook/public>
Options +FollowSymLinks
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
AddDefaultCharset utf-8
ErrorDocument 500 /500.html
ErrorDocument 404 /404.html
</VirtualHost>
Also, I see this:
# First, we configure the "default" to be a very restrictive set of
# permissions.
#
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks Indexes
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
That''s not very secure. It would be more secure to move the
"AllowOverride All"
into each Vhost; so any vhost created won''t allow .htaccess unless
explicitly
allowed.
Finally: the default .htaccess should have:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /scgi-bin/%{REQUEST_URI} [QSA,L]

[Instantrails-users] typo installation, httpd configuration
Thanks for taking the time to figure all this out. I will definitely roll all this into Instant Rails itself, eventually. I''m actually uploading a new release right now that upgrades Rails to today''s official 1.0 release of Rails. I would have liked to have your changes in there, but I barely had time just to update Rails... seriously... you won''t believe how much I have to get done between now and Christmas -- its insane!
