Get a working Hilary install & Document Process.

[wbbarr]

By the end of the Week 4 milestone, everyone in the Backend team should have a working Hilary install and should write down the process and pitfalls in https://github.com/GatechVIP/Hilary/wiki/New-Hilary-Installation-Guide.

I'm currently trying to use the new nginx.conf file that is in @stuartf's repo, but I seem to be running into an error where Nginx states that the user block (line 1) is invalid. I'll tinker with it some more tomorrow.

@Webs961 You might want to check what the user name of nginx is on your machine. run more /etc/passwd and find the name start with 'www'

New information: You must have a 3akai-ux cloned from stuartf and be in the hilary-grunt branch (git checkout hilary-grunt), ideally somewhere near the Hilary folder.

Then sudo npm install -g grunt

Then sudo npm install -d in the 3akai-ux directory (after you're on the hilary-grunt branch)

Then create a file called nginx.json. That file should look like the following:

{ "NGINX_USER": "USERNAME", "NGINX_GROUP": "GROUP", "UX_HOME": "PATH/TO/3akai-ux", "LOCAL_FILE_STORAGE_DIRECTORY": "/path/to/store/uploaded/files", "NGINX_HOSTNAME": "EXAMPLEHOST.COM" }

then run grunt configNginx

Copy the newly created file into the nginx config directory. Reload the nginx config file.

At this stage, I am able to connect to the endpoint, but I'm getting a load timeout for some of the modules, and the admin page does not render correctly at all (i.e. the page layout is mostly there, but none of the buttons, text, or anything like that is there).

Still no resolution to this. I am sending an e-mail to the oae-dev list as soon as I can get back to my desktop to pin down the exact error message.

there's actually some discussion going on about it on irc, it turns out there's a cyclic dependency in the js at this point that we're working to clean up

Completed.
