OpenProject on existing Debian Webserver

Added by Sebastian Merr about 9 years ago

Hello,

i want to install current OpenProject on an existing productive Webserver.
A first test on a virtual testserver showed that the installation of openproject cause all other vhosts are non reachable???

What are the steps on an existing webserver?

I found this, perhabs this could be an working installation variant for me?
https://community.openproject.org/topics/5360

I want a subdomain ala openproject.example.com

Hi,

If you choose to setup the apache server while running the installer, then it will disable the default configuration, which you should probably not use anyway since this is the stock example vhost that comes with your apache installation. If you have vhosts in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/my-site.com then those should not be affected.

Alternatively you can just skip the apache2 configuration in the installer, and add a vhost by yourself, which just proxies requests to localhost:6000. See for instance https://packager.io/documentation/proxy/#apache-debian.

Let me know if you need more help, in which case more details about your installation would be great.

Hello and thank you for reply. This sounds okay.
I´ll try it in the afternoon.

RE: OpenProject on existing Debian Webserver - Added by Sebastian Merr about 9 years ago

Hello,

in the meantime i tried two times a manual installation on a virtual existing webserver as following, but the result was two times the same, that the webserver could not read the source:

### prepare ###
groupadd openproject
useradd --create-home --gid openproject openproject
passwd openproject

### install essentials ###
apt-get install -y zlib1g-dev build-essential libssl-dev libreadline-dev libyaml-dev libgdbm-dev libncurses5-dev automake imagemagick libmagickcore-dev libmagickwand-dev libtool bison libffi-dev git curl libxml2 libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev git libreadline-dev libmagickwand-dev rake # nokogiri

### prepare mysql ###
mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE openproject CHARACTER SET utf8;
CREATE USER 'openproject'at-sign'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '123456';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON openproject.* TO 'openproject'at-sign'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
QUIT

### install ruby ###

service apache2 restart
# Apache wont start during an invalid command "ExpiresActive" which could be solved with:
ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/expires.load /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/
service apache2 restart@

After this, i only get a “Forbidden, You don´t have permissions to access / on this server”.

Where is my bug?

RE: OpenProject on existing Debian Webserver - Added by Sebastian Merr about 9 years ago

Hello,

in meantime i could make a further step with following this tutorial:
https://github.com/opf/openproject/blob/release/5.0/doc/operation_guides/manual/installation-guide.md

It was completely working except the following lines on the apache vhost: (have apache 2.2!)

      # Uncomment this if you're on Apache >= 2.4:
      # Require all granted
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all

and

   <Location /assets/>
     #ExpiresActive On ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 year"
   </Location>

But now i get a “Incomplete response received from application” message…
