Installing Diaspora on Ubuntu on VirtualBox
###403 DO NOT MOVE###
We're currently moving this wiki over to our new project site. The contents of this page are not important enough to be ported over because they are either very old, very outdated or wrong and misleading.
Note: If any of the steps don't work, don't force it. You probably skipped a step or something. Do not use sudo unless mentioned. Note: If you have issue, try here: https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora/wiki/How-we-use-IRC
THIS GUIDE HAS SOME FLAWS AND IS CONFUSING, IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO REWORK IT.... IN THE MEAN TIME JUST GET A VM, INSTALL UBUNTU AND THROW THE QUICK START AGAINST IT: https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora#quick-start

sudo dhclient eth1

ifconfig
should get an ip address in eth1, mine is: 192.168.56.103
open http://YOUR.IP.ADDRESS/ in your browser. if it does not say 'it works', then your network is messed up and I am sorry.
(mine:192.168.56.103) This will allow you to copy and paste. If you are in windows, use Putty.
We are going to be doing this from Step 1 to Step 4 http://www.akadia.com/services/ssh_test_certificate.html
Finish with:
sudo cp server.key /etc/apache2/
sudo cp server.crt /etc/apache2/
Replace /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default with:
<VirtualHost *:443>
DocumentRoot /var/www
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
RewriteEngine On
SSLEngine On
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/server.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/server.key
</VirtualHost>
run:
sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo a2enmod ssl
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Go here and proceed through ssl errors: https://YOUR.IP.ADDRESS/ It should say: "it works".
