RE: Apache 2 Debian 3.1 ManhatVC
Simo,
My previous email was meant to be in a very jovial and joking fashion. The
references to "voodoo magic" and "forced" were specifically meant this way.
I find using humor relieves the stress caused by the difficulties I am
having with the "Linux learning curve" or should I say "S" turns. If your
desire is to have all correspondence remain solely on the Debian users list,
this is fine. I will just refrain from injecting my "humor of frustration"
Thanks,
Cary Pembleton

Hi,
First of all sorry about my inaccurate expression. What I meant by "no cc
necessary" is "let's keep the discussion in the list", so other people can
give their input as well and no need to cc me.
Secondly, make sure that you can access the MVC locally (from the same host
where you install it). After that you can start working on getting it
visible to the LAN and internet.
Thirdly, If your email client is in some kind HTML-mode, it might "eat"
some necessary directives from this posting, because they look like
HTML-tags! If you don't see anything between these quotes " <Directory> ",
try to adjust your email client settings.
Fourthly, no magic was used in my case. I have a Debian etch (sarge should
work the same way), and these are the steps I took to get MVC up and
running:
Install the tools
sudo apt-get install make gcc
Install Apache 2 server
sudo apt-get install apache2-mpm-worker
The following are the steps 1-11 at
http://manhattan.sourceforge.net/?Documentation:README_Files:INSTALL
Add the user manhat to the system
sudo adduser manhat
Add the user manhat to the group www-data sudo adduser manhat www-data
Login as user manhat
Change the permissions of the home directory of the user manhat chmod 711 .
Copy the file manhat-3.1.0.tar.gz into manhat's home directory and untar it
tar xzf manhat-3.1.0.tar.gz
Change to the src-directory
cd manhat-3.1.0/src
Copy the custom header file
cp default_custom.h costom.h
Edit the file custom.h
Change the #define EXIT_URL "http://manhattan.sf.net"; to #define EXIT_URL
"http://www.mydomain.com/";
Change the #define HTTPD_GROUP "www" to #define HTTPD_GROUP "www-data"
Edit the Makefile
Change the HTTPD_GROUP = "www" to HTTPD_GROUP = "www-data"
Compile and install
make clean
make install
logout user manhat
Copy the file libneo.so from /home/manhat/manhat-3.1.0/lib to /usr/local/lib
sudo cp /home/manhat/manhat-3.1.0/lib/libneo.so /usr/local/lib/
Edit the file /etc/ld.so.conf and add /usr/local/lib into it.
sudo vim /etc/ld.so.conf
Run ldconfig
sudo ldconfig -v
Insert manhattan.mydomain.com into the file /etc/hosts
Change the Listen directive in the file /etc/apache2/ports.conf to Listen
xx.yy.zz.ww:80
Create a file /etc/apache2/sites-available/manhat
NOTE! Make sure that the ServerName directive matches the name in the file
/etc/hosts.
Remove the default link from the /etc/apache2/sites-enabled sudo rm
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default
Copy /etc/apache2/sites-available/default to
/etc/apache2/sites-available/mydefault
sudo cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
/etc/apache2/sites-available/mydefault
Edit the file /etc/apache2/sites-available/mydefault and change the first
two lines to NameVirtualHost xx.yy.zz.ww:80 <VirtualHost xx.yy.zz.ww:80>
Link the files to the /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ sudo ln -s
/etc/apache2/sites-available/mydefault
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000_mydefault
sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/manhat
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/010_manhat
Restart the www-server
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
Point the browser to http://manhattan.mydomain.com/manhat-bin/doorstep
Further reading:
Apache has very good documentation at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/
Manhattan Virtual Classroom has its documentation at
http://manhattan.sourceforge.net/?Documentation
Notice especially the security issues at
http://manhattan.sourceforge.net/static_content/manhat_docs/admin_manuals/ad

Simo
