Installing on an existing LAMP or on a new server with other sites

Added by N I over 4 years ago

Hi,

I have OpenProject installed on a VPS (VPS1) on its own.

I have another VPS (VPS2) that hosts a couple of web based opensource "software".

I want to get a new VPS (VPS3) that would host everything in one place instead of being spread between 2 VPS's.

The new VPS (VPS3) will have LAMP installed, then the stuff on VPS2 doest require anything special, just copy the data, a simple import to VPS3 and thats it. 

Now comes OpenProject on VPS1, all of the installation documents require it to be installed on a "fresh" OS, like ubuntu server or whatever, what i need help with is how to setup OpenProject on VPS3 with LAMP and so it can co-exist with my other web applications without any issues.

Thank you.

Hi,

I used to have a similar setup. (Openproject on a server with multiple websites). It all came down to installing Openproject using the normal setup and skipping the Web-server and encryption setup and doing that part manually. You can use the web-server setup from VPS1 as template. The only thing you'll probably have to do, is juggle with the port-numbers.

Remark: The only reason I moved away from the single server setup, was the drop of support for MySQL in Openproject. And I didn't want two different RDBMS's on a single server.

Hi,

what Johan said will work. The important part of the OpenProject package is the internal Ruby application server that will run at Port 6000 by default as well as a background worker (does not have any outside connections except to the database).

You can use the attached configuration template to do a proxy/reverse proxy pattern. In the installation wizard, hit "skip".

For more information, see our documentation section on that: https://docs.openproject.org/installation-and-operations/installation/packaged/#skip-not-recommended-1

Cheers

Oliver
