standalone
Standalone Development Environment ============
You can easily bring up a full Socorro VM, see setupdevenv-chapter for more info.
However, in some cases it can make sense to run components standalone in a development environment, for example if you want to run just one or two components and connect them to an existing Socorro install for debugging.
1) clone the repo (http://github.com/mozilla/socorro) :: git clone git://github.com/mozilla/socorro.git cd socorro/
2) set up Python path :: export PYTHONPATH=.:thirdparty/
3) create virtualenv and use it (this installs all needed Socorro dependencies) :: make virtualenv . socorro-virtualenv/bin/activate
4) copy default Socorro config (also see commonconfig-chapter) :: pushd scripts/config for file in *.py.dist; do cp $file basename $file .dist; done edit commonconfig.py (...) popd
Install and configure UI ----------------
1) symlink webapp-php/ to HTDOCS area :: mv ~/public_html ~/public_html.old ln -s ./webapp-php ~/public_html
2) copy default webapp config (also see uiinstallation-chapter) :: cp htaccess-dist .htaccess pushd webapp-php/application/config/ for file in *.php-dist; do cp $file basename $file -dist; done edit database.php config.php (...) popd
3) make sure log area is writable to webserver user :: chmod o+rwx webapp-php/application/logs
Launch standalone Middleware instance ----------------
Edit scripts/config/webapiconfig.py and change wsgiInstallation to False (this allows the middleware to run in standalone mode): :: wsgiInstallation.default = False
NOTE - make sure to use an unused port, it should be the same as whatever you configure in webapp-php/application/config/webserviceclient.php :: python scripts/webservices.py 9191
This will use whichever database you configured in commonconfig.py
