Set up NFS mount points

Create directories

mkdir -p ~/files
mkdir -p ~/staging

Add the following lines to the end of `/etc/fstab'

sunjammer.sugarlabs.org:/srv/nfs/activities/files /srv/activities/files nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr
sunjammer.sugarlabs.org:/srv/nfs/activities/staging /srv/activities/staging nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr

First-time ASLO setup

Using ~/aslo/config.php as template, setup ASLO settings in file ~/site/app/config/config.php. Template file was configured for dev environment, switch it to production by setting SITE_STATE variable to production.

Setup other env defines in file ~/site/app/config/config-local.php

define('DEBUG', 0);
define('DEV', false);
define('QUERY_CACHE', true);

mkdir -p ~/site/app/tmp/cache/models
mkdir -p ~/site/app/tmp/cache/views
mkdir -p ~/files/temp
mkdir -p ~/files/extracted
mkdir -p ~/data

Minify css/js stuff

~/aslo/minify.py

Merge ASLO gettext strings

~/aslo/po-compile.sh

Crontab for activities user

@hourly $HOME/aslo/cron/hourly
# do not use @daily to make sure that we start job after aslo-proxy
01 08 * * * $HOME/aslo/cron/daily

Create vhost

vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/activities.sl.org

<VirtualHost *:80 *:443>
        ServerName activities.sugarlabs.org
        ServerAlias activities2.sugarlabs.org # for test/install
        ServerAdmin webmaster@sugarlabs.org

        DocumentRoot /srv/activities/site/app/webroot

        LogFormat "%h %V %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-agent}i\" \"%{HTTP_COOKIE}i\"" addons
        CustomLog /srv/activities/data/access addons
        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/all-access.log vhost_combined
        #CustomLog /var/log/apache2/performance.log performance
</VirtualHost>
