Start web server #4

Closed Tokn59 closed 5 years ago

Tokn59 commented 6 years ago

Instructions state :

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo cp -R /tmp/Roomberry-1.0.0/web-app/ /var/www/ cp: cannot stat '/tmp/Roomberry-1.0.0/web-app/': No such file or directory pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo cp -R Roomberry-1.0.0/web-app/ /var/www/

This should be sudo cp -R Roomberry-1.0.0/web-app/ /var/www/

Can you please elaborate on the next steps needed to start and reach the webserver ?

THANK YOU !!!

Tony,

You will need a Raspberry Pi (not the Zero) running apache2 with PHP enabled. I think in this link you can find a good guide on how to do this.

Once the server is up and running, place the web-app in the WEB_ROOT path (usually /var/www/). You will probably need to install some additional libraries (php5-curl for instance), but this will depend on what linux distribution you are using. Have a look at the errors logged by apache to find out what libraries you need.

Some further explanations can also be found in my blog.

Thanks!

Dani

Okay thank you Dani !! Would you mind documenting the apache2 config file for use with Roomberry ?

danimaciasperea commented 6 years ago

Tom, the Roomberry does not run Apache. It should be running in another machine. On the other hand, Apache has not got a single monolithic configuration file, instead it uses several files (and directories). The standard configuration should work just fine if you want to test if your Roomba is working correctly.

Still trying to run everything on the same device. I installed all the services for IFTTT integration now. No chance this is possible anyway ? Running the APache2 on the Zero as well does not seem to be an issue .. TRied and it works ..

What services for IFTTT integration you mean? In theory running everything in the same machine will be a mess but possible. There is another person trying it running python in a virtual environment inside the Pi.

The Web (Curl) stuff ...

I’m installing a 2nd Pi for Apache now ...
