My fiance and I are getting married, so I'm building us a wedding website.
I'm hosting this on EC2, so the setup looks like this:
Install Git
sudo apt-get install git
Install and configure apache (vhosts, permissions, etc?)
sudo apt-get install apache2
Edit your Apache config
sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
Ensure the following config:
Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
# Ensure that Apache listens on port 80
Listen 80
# All requests are virtual host requests (security? best practice?)
NameVirtualHost *:*
Enable proxy modules
sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-proxy-html
sudo a2enmod proxy
sudo a2enmod proxy_http
Add a vhost entry for the site
cd /etc/apache2/sites-available
sudo touch elaneandblake.com
sudo nano elaneandblake.com
Add the following:
<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot /var/www/elaneandblake.com
ServerName elaneandblake.com
ServerAlias www.elaneandblake.com
ErrorLog "/var/log/apache2/elaneandblake.com/error_log"
CustomLog "/var/log/apache2/elaneandblake.com/access_log" common
# Forward requests to the Node app.
ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:3000/
ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:3000/
</VirtualHost>
Create a symlink to sites-enabled
a2ensite elaneandblake.com
Create log files
Restart Apache
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
sudo apt-get install build-essential
Install Node
cd ~
git clone git://github.com/joyent/node.git
cd node
git checkout v0.8.15
./configure
make
sudo make install
Install NPM
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/isaacs/npm.git
cd npm
sudo make install
Clone repo
cd /var/www
sudo git clone git://github.com/blakehaswell/elane-and-blake.git elaneandblake.com
Install dependencies
cd elaneandblake.com
sudo npm install
Install Forever
sudo npm install forever -g
Start the app using Forever
forever start app.js
- Where should I be installing Node and NPM? It doesn't matter, make installs the compiled programs elsewhere
- What is make? Do I need to install it? make is like rake, just for C (I think)
- When installing Node, what do the lines
./configureandmakedo?./configurebuilds the makefile - What's the deal with port forwarding? Best practice? Security? Use Apache in front of Node
- Running the app – do I use forever? Is
node appok? Forever seems to be the go.sudo npm install -g forever
Log into EC2 and:
cd /var/www/elaneandblake.com
git pull
forever restart app.js
