Submitted by Justin Francis:

This is just a quick step-by-step howto for MANUALLY getting Tracks up and running on Trustix Secure Linux with MySQL. I presume these instructions will work for Linux in general as we will be performing our own compiling and such.

INSTALLING RUBY 1.8.4

Download ruby-1.8.4.tar.gz (from ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.8) into /tmp


cd /tmp && tar -zxvf ruby-1.8.4.tar.gz && cd ruby-1.8.4 && ./configure && make && make install
cd /usr/bin && ln -s ../local/bin/ruby ruby

INSTALLING RAKE 0.7.3

Download rake-0.7.3.tgz (from http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=50) into /tmp


cd /tmp && tar -zxvf rake-0.7.3.tgz && cd rake-0.7.3 && ruby install.rb

INSTALLING RUBYGEMS 0.9.2

Download rubygems-0.9.2.tgz (from http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126) into /tmp


cd /tmp && tar -zxvf rubygems-0.9.2.tgz && cd rubygems-0.9.2 && ruby setup.rb

CONFIGURING MYSQL


mysql -u root -p
mysql> create database tracks1043;
mysql> grant all privileges on track1043.* to root@localhost identified by 'your-desired-password' with grant option;
mysql> quit;

INSTALLING AND CONFIGURING TRACKS 1.043

Download tracks-1.043.zip file into the directory of your choice.


cd /path_to_tracks_download_directory/ && unzip tracks-1.043.zip && cd tracks-1.043

Modify /path/to/tracks-1.043/config/database.yml:

  • comment out all SQLite lines
  • uncomment all MySQL lines
  • determine the path to your mysql.sock file: mysqladmin --verbose | grep ^socket
  • add    socket: /path/to/mysql[d].sock    to each MySQL environment
  • set each environment’s user and password sections according to your MySQL setup (above)

    Modify /path/to/tracks-1.043/config/environment.rb:

  • change the value of the SALT variable to your liking
  • change ENV[‘TZ’] to ‘YOUR_COUNTRY_CODE/your_timezone’ (i.e. “US/Central”), if desired

    Modify /path/to/tracks-1.043/db/migrate/001_create_tracks_db.rb (due to invalid default date value error):

  • change the default year from ‘0000’ to ‘9999’ in the datetime line for the ‘created’ field in the ‘todo’ table section

    Modify /path/to/tracks-1.043/db/migrate/004_notes.rb (same reason as above):

  • change two occurrences of the default year ‘0000’ to ‘9999’

    Modify /path/to/tracks-1.043/app/controllers/login_controller.rb:

  • change default email address from ‘butshesagirl…” to something company related (i.e. your_email@your_company.com)

    Modify /path/to/tracks-1.043/db/migrate/006_add_preferences_to_user_table.rb:

  • change default email address from ‘butshesagirl…” to something company related (i.e. your_email@your_company.com)

    Modify /path/to/tracks-1.043/test/fixtures/user.yml, if desired:

  • change two occurrences of the default email address from ‘butshesagirl…” to something company related (i.e. your_email@your_company.com)

    POPULATE DEFAULT TABLE RECORDS AND START THE TRACKS SERVER (with the default web server)


    cd /path/to/tracks-1.043/ && rake migrate && ./scripts/server

    TEST YOUR NEW TRACKS SERVER

    Navigate to http://address_of_tracks_server:3000/signup to create a new account
    Navigate to http://address_of_tracks_server:3000/login to access Tracks at any time

    Enjoy!
