During the last days accumulated some useful (maybe only for me) tips for using Text Drive
Common Security
created several users with specific permitions.
- user1 : the default, coming with signup. Only MYSQL access for creating databases. Also email for annoncements.
- user2 : only email access – sometimes the access is ove unsecure protocols (POP3 etc.). Subscribed it to the “Announces” and “Status” ML.
- user3 : SVN, DAV access. Main development account. No emails
- user4 : MYSQL only access – for using in rails, textpattern etc. No emails.
MySQL
the databases names need to be username_... From the signup email: for example, user-weblog would be a valid database name , but this not-working . Web interface on http://bgjap.net/mysql/ . Better access it with your primary user account when creating databases and with your database account for tables and entries.
Dav
access on http://bgjap.net/dav/ – require username@domain for authentication
Still haven't shell access so i tryed to work via the Webmin interface. Difficult :/
Rails
Webmin | Running Processes | Run…
rails /home/username/rails
Choice some directory outside
of web access one (public_html)
Webmin | Apache Webserver | Aliases and Redirects | Document directory aliases: From: /rails To: /home/user/rails/public
Edit _rails/public/.htaccess – add /rails before /dispatch. :
my rails .htaccess . Access: http://domain/rails/controller_name –
CGI, http://domain/rails/fcgi/controller_name – FastCGI, http://domain/rails/mruby/controller_name – mod_ruby (not working still for me).
Creating containers and models: Webmin | Running Processes | Run…
cd /home/user/rails; script/new_controller Blog
End – this list entry is just because
Textpattern have some problems when the last entry contains
pre tag – the next paragraph also becomes part of the list !?
Not sure if there is instiki is preinstalled so i made my own install
Instiki
Uncompress the tarball somewhere outside
of the web root: /home/user/instiki-0.9.1 for example
Create storage directory inside (let' pickup port 3777 to run the wiki on): /home/user/instiki-0.9.1/storage/3777
Webmin | Running Processes | Run…
cd /home/user/instiki-0.9.1; ruby instiki.rb -p 3777
TODO: redirect wiki.domain.com → :3777
