Branch Demo Setup Guidelines

e.g. for GSoC students

Install Sahana locally according to InstallationGuidelinesDeveloper

You should register your code branch on Launchpad:

• ​https://code.launchpad.net/sahana-eden

You can make a live demo of your code available publically (e.g. to share with your mentors) by using the space set aside for you on demo.eden.sahanafoundation.org:

• r0bby: ​http://survey.sahanafoundation.org (port 8001)
• shikhar: ​http://importer.eden.sahanafoundation.org (port 8002)
• amer: ​http://sync.eden.sahanafoundation.org (port 8003)

Login to the server via SSH using your assigned user names and passwords.

Install Web2Py & your Sahana branch (using InstallationGuidelinesDeveloper as a guide)

Suggest symlinking your app to make it the default:

ln -s web2py/applications/eden web2py/applications/init

New (WSGI)

An Apache virtual server has been created which points your sites at /home/<username>/web2py/applications/eden

If you need to restart Apache (in order to see changes to a Module - either in Web2Py or Eden) then you have sudo rights to do this:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload

If you need to access Tickets through Web UI, then configure the Ticket Viewer:

Old (Proxy)

After logging in you will need to spawn web2py according to the ports assigned to you:

python web2py.py -p 800x

For running the web2py instance in the background you can execute:

screen python web2py.py -p 800x

To detach from the screen:

ctrl+a d

To reconnect to the screen to kill the instance (e.g. to restart after editing a module):

screen -r 
ctrl+c

To connect to the admin panel of the web2py using an ssh tunnel refer to:

• Linux: ​http://web2py.com/AlterEgo/default/show/68
• Windows: ​http://web2py.com/AlterEgo/default/show/143

NB Replace '8000' with the port assigned to you.
