Setup web2py+apache+ssl+mod_wsgi+postgresql in few seconds
Recipe by Massimo Di Pierro (mdipierro) on 2009-11-12 in Application

Fast web2py deployment script

On a fresh Ubuntu install type

 wget http://web2py.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/scripts/setup-web2py-ubuntu.sh
 chmod +x setup-web2py-ubuntu.sh
 sudo ./setup-web2py-ubuntu.sh

It will: - apt-get everything you need - create /home/www-data/web2py - start a local web2py copy on port 8123 to ssh into its admin interface - create a self signed certificate - write /var/apache2/sites-available/default configured to use the certificate and mod_wsgi with web2py - restart apache and postgresql

After you run the script, simply visit:

http://hostname/
script

    Can you please help with such a script for Red Hat / rpm based distros?

    Not sure about "headers" but there do appear to be some "expires" directives in the conf file.

    Please forgive my ignorance, but why are the headers and expires modules enabled with this script?

    Try this one instead: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Emdipierro/web2py/devel/download/head%3A/setupweb2pyubuntu.sh-20091113071543-nuyvk7g9cfu086wk-1/setup-web2py-ubuntu.sh

    This refers to an old version of a file which has been renamed (it shouldn't still exist on svn;) Please use the current file - and you might as well get it from the master repository: wget http://bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Emdipierro/web2py/devel/annotate/head%3A/scripts/setup-web2py-ubuntu.sh sudo sh ./setup-web2py-ubunt.sh Also, read through this script before running it: it has many side-effects not about web2py at all. For example, it installs many packages (apt-get ....) which may affect your ubuntu in ways you do not want. For example, Ubuntu currently comes with Python 2.6 installed; you DO NOT need Python 2.5 to run web2py (this part of the script is completely gratuitous, unnecessary). Consider carefully all the pieces in this script. Having said that, the script can provide a good starting point for seting up your own web2py installation with apache.
