  • on staging: sudo service tomcat restart (or start or stop)
  • on prod: sudo service tomcat7 restart (or start or stop)
• there are custom scripts which start tomcat as the tapas_rails user

Fedora (run by Tomcat)

• check status
  • on staging: go to http://railsapi.tapasdev.neu.edu:8080/fedora
  • on prod: go to http://railsapi.tapas.neu.edu:8080/fedora
  • should see description of fedora install
• restart/stop/start - controlled by Tomcat

Solr (run by Tomcat)

• check status

  • on prod: go to http://railsapi.tapas.neu.edu:8080/solr
  • should see admin interface without any giant red or yellow warnings along the top
• run query
  • go to admin interface (see urls above)
  • choose the right core from the dropdown on the left(development for rails app - TODO - check on this)

Resque

• check queue
  • on staging: go to http://railsapi.tapasdev.neu.edu/resque
  • on prod: go to http://railsapi.tapas.neu.edu/resque
  • if jobs are processing you'll see them in the bottom part of the page
  • if jobs are queued you'll see them in the queued number in the upper left
  • if jobs have failed, you'll see them in the failed number in the upper left
  • can check via command line by logging into the server (as yourself) and running sudo service resque status
• restart/stop/start
  • sudo service resque restart/stop/start (issues a cap command)

To run the job that reruns all of the core_files through the reading interface building: RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec thor tapas_rails:rebuild_reading_interfaces 500 where 500 is the number of records you would like to run (could do a query for number of core_files in solr before performing the thor task)

bundle exec cap production resque:restart

To modify the main menu

• open the menu.en.yml file and modify/reorder/add/delete values where necessary

Notes for OSX

• installing nokogiri on OSX: $ gem install nokogiri -- --with-xml2-include=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/include/libxml2 --use-system-libraries

• configuring bundle install with correct openssl from brew:

  $ bundle config --global build.mysql2 --with-opt-dir="$(brew --prefix openssl)"
  $ bundle install

• if running with MAMP: gem install mysql2 -- --with-mysql-config=/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql_config

• install libv8 on OSX with the following: $ brew install v8@3.15 $ bundle config build.libv8 --with-system-v8 $ bundle config build.therubyracer --with-v8-dir=$(brew --prefix v8@3.15) $ bundle install
