gw-sufia Build Status

GWU Self-Deposit

This is the repository for the George Washington University Libraries Sufia 4 based application, built as a pilot project. A new application, GW ScholarSpace, based on Sufia 6 has been developed and deployed -- please see https://github.com/gwu-libraries/scholarspace

Installation

Dependencies

Install

Next: Full-text indexing

Use the following rake task to pull the necessary extraction jars into the app:

    % rake sufia:jetty:config

Sufia should handle everything else for you.

Next: Google Analytics

If you are using google analytics,

Copy config/analytics.yml.template to config/analytics.yml:

    % cd config
    % cp analytics.yml.template analytics.yml

Edit config/analytics.yml - populate the values with the google analytics id (typically of the form UA-12345678-9, and populate the OAuth values provided for the project in the Google Developers console. See the README at https://github.com/projecthydra/sufia for additional guidance on setting up the project with Google Analytics (however, you do not need to run the sufia:models:usagestats generator).

Additionally, once you create the client ID and google generates a client email address, go to the google analytics admin page, select the account, click on User Management, add the client email address and grant it Read & Analyze permissions. (See https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1009702?hl=en for more information)

Next: Browse-everything

Copy config/browse_everything_providers.yml.template to config/browse_everything_providers.yml and populate with application keys required by each provider.

    % cd config
    % cp browse_everything_providers.yml.template browse_everything_providers.yml

and edit browse_everything_providers.yml . As noted at the browse-everything repo (https://github.com/projecthydra-labs/browse-everything/wiki/Configuring-browse-everything), you must register your application with each cloud provider separately:

* Skydrive: https://account.live.com/developers/applications/create
* Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps/create
* Box: https://app.box.com/developers/services/edit/
* GoogleDrive: https://code.google.com/apis/console

Note that the application must be configured with each of the above providers with a redirect URI of:

     https://<MY SERVER URL>:<PORT>/browse/connect

Dropbox, Box, and Skydrive now require the redirect URI to be HTTPS, not HTTP.

Configure Contact form emailing

In order to enable the contact form page to send email when the user clicks Send, set the following properties in config/initializers/sufia.rb :

Copy config/initializers/setup_mail.rb.template to config/initializers/setup_mail.rb . Set the SMTP credentials for the user as whom the app will send email.

Install fits.sh

Go to http://code.google.com/p/fits/downloads/list and download a copy of fits to /usr/local/bin, and unpack it.

    % cd /usr/local/bin
    % wget https://fits.googlecode.com/files/fits-0.6.2.zip
    % unzip fits-0.6.2.zip

Add execute permissions to fits.sh

    % cd fits-0.6.2
    % sudo chmod a+x fits.sh

Admin Users

As a stopgap with the current rudimentary implementation of user groups, to make an admin user with id USERID do the following at the rails console:

user = User.find(USERID)
user.group_list = "registered;?;admin"
user.save

Run the application

To run a development server in non-SSL mode:

     % rails s -p <PORT NUMBER>

To run a development server in SSL mode:

     % thin start -p <PORT NUMBER> --ssl --ssl-key-file <PATH TO YOUR server.key FILE> --ssl-cert-file <PATH TO YOUR server.crt FILE>

---------------------

Production Deployment

---------------------

The following documentation has been adapted from the work of: https://github.com/curationexperts/hydradam/wiki/Production-Installation%3A-Overview to describe a deployment of the gw-sufia hydra implementaiton.

System Requirements

A Virtual Server (VM) or Machine with at least:

  1. 64-bit architecture
  2. 15G of memory
  3. 10G of disk space on the root drive
  4. 30-300G of disk space on a drive mounted at /opt, depending on the files you plan to ingest - low end for images/text, high end for audio/video

Software Requirements

Ubuntu, Version 12.04 Its (Precise Pangolin)ubuntu-12.04.3-server-amd64.iso.

Steps

  1. Use bash as your shell.
  2. Make sure your user has full sudo privileges (with or without password).
  3. Check to be sure that your environment contains a $USER variable.
    echo $USER should return your current user name.
  4. Set a $HYDRA_NAME variable to be the name of this hydra head, Sufia. echo "HYDRA_NAME=sufia" | sudo tee -a /etc/environment
    and load it into your shell environment
    source /etc/environment
  5. Set the rails environment ($RAILS_ENV) to production
    echo "RAILS_ENV=production" | sudo tee -a /etc/environment
    and load that into your shell environment
    source /etc/environment
  6. Create the /opt/install directory
    sudo chown $USER:$USER /opt  
    mkdir -p /opt/install

Verification Steps

echo $USER should return your current user name
echo $HYDRA_NAME should return "sufia"
echo $RAILS_ENV should return "production"

Notes

These libraries provide the tools you need to download, compile, and configure packages required by Sufia.

Steps

  1. Install the following development tools & libraries for the Sufia project using your package manager (apt-get).

Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install build-essential git git-core curl openssl libreadline6 libreadline6-dev zlib1g zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libyaml-dev libsqlite3-dev sqlite3 libxml2-dev autoconf libc6-dev ncurses-dev automake libtool bison subversion pkg-config libmagickwand-dev imagemagick libcurl4-openssl-dev apache2-prefork-dev libxvidcore-dev postgresql libpq-dev redis-server unzip nodejs clamav-daemon openjdk-7-jdk tomcat7 ruby-bundler apache2-mpm-worker

Notes

Ruby is the language of Sufia. Rubygems gives you access to the gems (dependencies, aka other people's code) Sufia needs.

Steps

Ruby:
Especially on Ubuntu machines, Ruby 2.0 may be preinstalled. To verify which is installed, enter the command which ruby in the terminal window. This should return /usr/local/bin/ruby. Additionally, entering ruby -v should return ruby 2.0.0-p353.

If you don't have Ruby 2.1.x installed, install it from source by copying and pasting the block of text below:

cd /opt/install
wget http://cache.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/2.1/ruby-2.1.2.tar.gz  
tar xvzf ruby-2.1.2.tar.gz  
cd ruby-2.1.2
./configure  
make  
sudo make install  
cd /opt

Verification Steps

You must have Ruby version 2.0.x and Rubygems version 2.x installed to complete the rest of the instructions. To verify that the correct versions are installed, use the following commands.

  1. which ruby
    The system should return /usr/local/bin/ruby

  2. ruby -v
    The system should return _ruby 2.0.0p353 (2013-11-22 revision 43784) [x8664-linux]

  3. which gem
    The system should return /usr/local/bin/gem

  4. gem -v
    The system should return 2.0.14

    Notes

Notes

The Java 7 runtime environment is required to run Tomcat, Fedora, and Solr.

Steps

  1. Verify that Java 7 is installed by entering the command which java in the terminal window. This should return /usr/bin/java. Additionally, entering java -version should return java version 1.7.x. If Java 7 is installed, proceed to Step 3.

  2. You now need to configure your machine to use Java 7. Enter the command sudo update-alternatives --config java in the terminal window. You will see all available versions of Java. Select Java 7. The final output should look similar to this:

    There is 1 program that provides 'java'.

    Selection Command
    -----------------------------------------------
    _*+ 1 /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.7.0-openjdk.x8664/bin/java

    Enter to keep the current selection[+], or type selection number: 1

Verification Steps

Enter the command java -version in the terminal window. This should return java version 1.7.x.

Notes

Tomcat is the Java servlet that runs Fedora and Solr.

Steps

  1. Add the username you're using to install things to the tomcat group, by entering the following commands in the terminal window:
    Ubuntu: sudo usermod -G tomcat7 -a $USER
  2. Exit the terminal window and log back in to make sure the group changes take effect.
  3. (Re)Start your tomcat server, using the following commands:
    Ubuntu: sudo service tomcat7 restart
    The output should look like this:
    Stopping tomcat7: [ OK ]
    Starting tomcat7: [ OK ]

Verification Steps

  1. Test your tomcat installation by browsing to http://localhost:8080 or enter the command curl localhost:8080 in the terminal window. You should see the default tomcat home page, announcing that "It Works!"
  2. Test your group membership to be sure it includes the tomcat or tomcat7 group. Enter the command id in the terminal window. The output should look like this:
    uid=500(user_name) gid=500(user_name) groups=500(user_name),91(tomcat),502(ssh) context=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
    Do not continue until your group membership is updated!

Notes

Create two postgresql users (e.g. fedoradbadmin & sufiadbadmin) and two databases (e.g. fedora3 & sufia_prod)

Steps

    % sudo su - postgres
    (postgres)% psql
    postgres=# create user YOURSFMDBUSERNAME with createdb password 'YOURSFMDBPASSWORD';
    CREATE ROLE
    postgres=# \q
    (postgres)% createdb -O YOURSFMDBUSERNAME YOURPRODDBNAME
    (postgres)% exit

Notes

Fedora stores the metadata and preservation information for objects your users will upload to Sufia.

Steps

Note: You must have completed the installation of the SQL database before you can install Fedora.

  1. Ensure that the permissions on /opt are set correctly before you try to install Fedora by entering the command sudo chown $USER:$USER /opt in the terminal window.

  2. Set the environment variables for Fedora by entering the commands below in the terminal window.

    grep -q '^FEDORA_HOME=' /etc/environment || echo "FEDORA_HOME=/opt/fedora" | sudo tee -a /etc/environment  
    echo "PATH=$PATH:$FEDORA_HOME/server/bin:$FEDORA_HOME/client/bin" | sudo tee -a /etc/profile.d/fedora.sh  
  3. Log out and log back in to reload environment.

  4. Make sure your path is updated, by entering the command echo $PATH.
    The output should look like this: /usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/fedora/server/bin:/opt/fedora/client/bin:/home/your_username/bin.

  5. Change to the install directory by entering the command cd /opt/install.

  6. Get the Fedora 3.7.1 installer by entering the command wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/fedora-commons/fedora/3.7.1/fcrepo-installer-3.7.1.jar.

  7. Run the Fedora installer by entering the command java -jar fcrepo-installer-3.7.1.jar. If you make a mistake, you can exit the installer by typing “CANCEL” at any prompt.

    The installer prompts you to answer several questions. The answers you should give are shown behind the ==> below. When an answer begins with (default), you can just press Enter to accept that as the response and the installer will prompt you for the next response.

  8. Give the tomcat user ownership of /opt/fedora, by entering the command
    (Ubuntu) sudo chown -R tomcat7:tomcat7 /opt/fedora

  9. Restart tomcat, by entering the command
    (Ubuntu) sudo service tomcat7 restart
    and give fedora a good minute or two to get started before you completing the verification steps below.

Verification Steps

  1. To check fedora navigate to http://localhost:8080/fedora or enter the command curl localhost:8080/fedora/describe in the terminal window. You should see the address for the default fedora page (which should look similar to this: http://localhost:8080/fedora) in the output.

Notes

Solr indexes the content and metadata of your Sufia for quick and easy searching.

Steps

We recommend installing all the components of the project in the directory /opt and as a result these instructions are designed to be copy/paste. However, if you want to name your project something other than 'Sufia' you'll need to make appropriate changes in steps 4 and 12. These instructions have been tested with solr 4.2 and may or may not work with later versions.

All commands are run in a terminal window unless otherwise specified.

  1. Change the directory to the install directory.

    cd /opt/install
  2. Download solr 4.8.1.

    wget http://mirrors.sonic.net/apache/lucene/solr/4.8.1/solr-4.8.1.tgz
  3. Unpack the tarball.

    tar xvzf solr-4.8.1.tgz
  4. Double-check that your $HYDRA_NAME variable is set correctly.

    echo $HYDRA_NAME
    # should output "sufia"
  5. Create the solr project directories.

    mkdir /opt/solr /opt/solr/$HYDRA_NAME /opt/solr/$HYDRA_NAME/lib
  6. Put the solr .war file in the main project directory

    cp ./solr-4.8.1/dist/solr-4.8.1.war /opt/solr/$HYDRA_NAME
  7. Copy the necessary java archives to the library

    sudo cp ./solr-4.8.1/dist/*.jar /opt/solr/$HYDRA_NAME/lib
  8. Copy the contrib subdirectory.

    sudo cp -r ./solr-4.8.1/contrib /opt/solr/$HYDRA_NAME/lib
  9. Copy the sample collection1 directory to production.

    sudo cp -r ./solr-4.8.1/example/solr/collection1 /opt/solr/$HYDRA_NAME/collection1
  10. Copy the English stopwords up a level.

    sudo cp /opt/solr/$HYDRA_NAME/collection1/conf/lang/stopwords_en.txt /opt/solr/$HYDRA_NAME/collection1/conf/
  11. Create the project xml file.

    cat > /opt/solr/$HYDRA_NAME/$HYDRA_NAME.xml <<EOF
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  
    <Context docBase="/opt/solr/sufia/solr-4.8.1.war" debug="0" crossContext="true">  
    <Environment name="solr/home" type="java.lang.String" value="/opt/solr/sufia" override="true"/>  
    </Context>
    EOF
  12. Give the tomcat user ownership of /opt/solr.

    # If you are using Ubuntu, use this command.
    sudo chown -R tomcat7:tomcat7 /opt/solr
  13. Link tomcat to the project xml file.

    # If you using Ubuntu, use this command
    sudo ln -s /opt/solr/$HYDRA_NAME/$HYDRA_NAME.xml /etc/tomcat7/Catalina/localhost/$HYDRA_NAME.xml
  14. Solr uses SLF4J for logging, but you need to configure a logging framework yourself. This is required to make Solr run. For example to bind SLF4J to Apache log4j:

    sudo cp /opt/install/solr-4.8.1/example/lib/ext/* /usr/share/tomcat7/lib
    sudo cp /opt/install/solr-4.8.1/example/resources/log4j.properties /usr/share/tomcat7/lib

    Edit /usr/share/tomcat7/lib/log4j.properties and set solr.log=logs/ to solr.log=/var/log/solr. Next create the log directory and set the proper permissions:

    sudo mkdir /var/log/solr
    sudo chown tomcat7:tomcat7 /var/log/solr

    Make sure the log will not eat up the entire filesystem and add it to logrotate. Create a file "/etc/logrotate.d/solr" with this content:

    /var/log/solr/solr.log {
    copytruncate
    daily
    rotate 5
    compress
    missingok
    create 640 tomcat7 tomcat7
    }
  15. Restart tomcat.

    # If you are using Ubuntu, use this command
    sudo service tomcat7 restart 

Verification Steps

  1. Check the solr admin page.
    curl localhost:8080/$HYDRA_NAME/

    The output should show the html of the solr home page.

Notes

FITS retrieves xml metadata from the files you upload to Sufia, which allows you to harvest pre-existing metadata such as the file type.

Steps

  1. Change to the install directory.

    cd /opt/install
  2. Get FITS.

    wget http://fits.googlecode.com/files/fits-0.6.2.zip
  3. Install fits.sh.

    unzip fits-0.6.2.zip  
    sudo chmod +x fits-0.6.2/fits.sh  
    sudo cp -r fits-0.6.2/* /usr/local/bin/  
  4. Simlink FITS to fits.sh

    sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/fits.sh /usr/local/bin/fits

Verification Steps

  1. fits
    Invalid CLI options
    usage: fits
    -h         print this message
    -i <arg>   input file or directory
    -o <arg>   output file
    -r         process directories recursively when -i is a directory
    -v         print version information
    -x         convert FITS output to a standard metadata schema
    -xc        output using a standard metadata schema and include FITS xml

Notes

The Git repository contains the GW-Sufia-specific code. The Gems contain other people's code that we use in GW-Sufials. We are standing on the shoulders of giants here.

Steps

  1. Clone the Git repository and change directories by entering the following commands in the terminal window.

    cd /opt  
    git clone git://github.com/gwu-libraries/gw-sufia.git ${HYDRA_NAME}  
    cd $HYDRA_NAME  
  2. Confirm that the correct versions of Ruby and RubyGems are installed.

    1. Enter the command ruby -v in the terminal window. This should return 2.0.0.
    2. Enter the command gem -v. This should return 2.0.0 or above.
      If not, see the [[troubleshooting tips|Troubleshooting Guide]] for instructions on how to update your RubyGems version and/or uninstall the old Ruby version.
  3. Change permissions on the gem directory by entering the command sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/.

  4. Install project dependencies for deployment with bundler by entering the command /usr/local/bin/bundle --deployment. Note: This may take a while, but you should see the message "Your bundle is complete" at the end.

Verification Steps

  1. Stay in your project home directory (/opt/$HYDRA_NAME) and enter the command bundle exec rails console production. You will see an interactive ruby (irb) prompt.
  2. Enter the command Sufia::VERSION. This should return version 3.5.0 or greater.
  3. Type exit to return to your regular shell prompt.

Notes

The YML files store the confidential information needed to connect the Sufia code to the other elements of the system, including Fedora, Solr, and Redis.

Steps

You may review the sample .yml files for PostgrSQL, Fedora, Redis, and Solr in the/opt/$HYDRA_NAME/config directory. If you choose to edit them directly, use only the spacebar to create indentation as tabs are not allowed in YML syntax and will trigger a "found token that cannot start any token while scanning for the next token" error.

  1. Create a production database.yml file that points to your PostgreSQL database by entering the commands below.

    cp /opt/sufia/config/database.yml.template /opt/sufia/config/database.yml

    Edit that file accordinly with your settings

  2. Create a production fedora.yml file that points to your Fedora by entering the commands below.

    cat > /opt/$HYDRA_NAME/config/fedora.yml <<EOF
    production:
     user: fedoraAdmin
     password: fedoraAdmin
     url: http://127.0.0.1:8080/fedora
    EOF
  3. Create a production redis.yml file that points to your Redis server by entering the commands below.

    cat > /opt/$HYDRA_NAME/config/redis.yml <<EOF
    production:
     host: localhost
     port: 6379
    EOF
  4. Create a production solr.yml file that points to your Solr by entering the commands below.

    cat > /opt/$HYDRA_NAME/config/solr.yml << EOF
    production:
     url: http://127.0.0.1:8080/sufia/
    EOF

Verification Steps

  1. Enter the command ls -la /opt/$HYDRA_NAME/config in the terminal window. This should return (among other files) database.yml, fedora.yml, redis.yml, and solr.yml. If you want to view the contents of each file, enter the command less filename.yml. To exit and return to the terminal window, type 'q'.

Notes

Apache and Passenger work together to serve up the Sufia web pages. Apache is the generic web server and passenger (https://www.phusionpassenger.com/) manages the multiple processes Sufia (a ruby on rails app) generates.

Steps

  1. The Apache server should already be installed as part of the Apache development package (one of the [[dependencies|Installation:-Dependencies]]).

  2. (Ubuntu only) Install the passenger gem by entering the command gem install passenger.

  3. Install passenger’s Apache module by entering the command passenger-install-apache2-module.
    NOTE: if you see a "command not found" error, find the passenger Gem and include the path in your command /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/passenger-4.0.37/bin/passenger-install-apache2-module. Parts of this path may be different depending on the configuration of your system.

  4. Follow the installer prompts - you'll need two sections of the final output for the next two steps. The final output should look similar to this.

    [your_Username@ip sufia]$ passenger-install-apache2-module
    Welcome to the Phusion Passenger Apache 2 module installer, v4.0.37.

    ...
    Don't worry if anything goes wrong. This installer will advise you on how to
    solve any problems.

    Press Enter to continue, or Ctrl-C to abort.

  5. When the installer is done, create the passenger configuration file using the steps below.

    1. Begin the command to create the passenger.conf file by entering sudo tee -a /etc/apache2/conf.d/passenger.conf <<EOF in the terminal window. The computer is waiting for more input and will respond with the prompt >.

    2. Copy the text that begins "LoadModule" from the passenger output and paste it in at the prompt. As an example, the text below was copied from the output example in Step 5.

      LoadModule passenger_module /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/passenger-4.0.45/buildout/apache2/mod_passenger.so

      PassengerDefaultRuby /usr/local/bin/ruby
      PassengerTempDir /opt/passenger_temp
      </IfModule>
    4. Add EOF on its own line and hit enter to create the file. For reference, see the [[sample passenger.conf file|Sample-passenger.conf]]

  6. Create the project configuration file using the steps below.

    1. Begin the command to create the file by entering sudo tee -a /etc/apache2/conf.d/$HYDRA_NAME.conf <<EOF in the terminal window. The computer is waiting for more input and will respond with the prompt >

    2. Copy these two lines to begin your configuration file: Note: You will need to change www.yourhoust.com to your server's name. For example, www.dcesufia.com or sufia.publictvstation.org and then hit Enter. You will see the > prompt again.

      <VirtualHost *:80>  
      ServerName www.yourhost.com  
      1. Add the rest of the configuration information:

        # !!! Be sure to point DocumentRoot to 'public'!  
        # !!! Be sure to point DocumentRoot to 'public'!
        DocumentRoot /opt/sufia/public
        XSendFile on
        XSendFilePath /opt/xsendfile
        <Directory /opt/sufia/public>
        # This relaxes Apache security settings.
        AllowOverride all
        # MultiViews must be turned off.
        Options -MultiViews
        # Uncomment this if you're on Apache >= 2.4:
        #Require all granted
        </Directory>
        </VirtualHost>

        and hit Enter. You will see the > prompt again.

    3. Type EOF on its own line and hit enter to create the file. For reference, see the [[sample $HYDRA_NAME.conf file|Sample-$HYDRA_NAME.conf]].

  7. Install mod_xsendfile for apache by entering the following commands:

    cd /opt/install  
    git clone https://github.com/nmaier/mod_xsendfile.git  
    cd mod_xsendfile  
    sudo apxs2 -cia mod_xsendfile.c  

    For more information, see the xsendfile docs.

  8. Create the PassengerTempDir and XSendFile directories referred to in your passenger config by entering the command mkdir /opt/passenger_temp /opt/xsendfile.

Notes

Configure the Rails Application to make sure that all the parts of the system are working together. This step includes the secret token, the Fits path, Solr configuration, the temporary transcoding directory, storage management, and more.

Steps

  1. Enable the secret token for the site by completing the steps below.

    1. Generate a string for the secret token by entering the command cd /opt/$HYDRA_NAME && bundle exec rake secret in the terminal window.
    2. Copy /opt/$HYDRA_NAME/config/initializers/secret_token.rb.template to /opt/$HYDRA_NAME/config/initializers/secret_token.rb by entering the command cp /opt/$HYDRA_NAME/config/initializers/secret_token.rb.template /opt/$HYDRA_NAME/config/initializers/secret_token.rb.
    3. Edit secret_token.rb and replace the sample string with the string you just generated.
  2. Enable a different secret token for devise (user authentication) by completing the steps below.

    1. Generate a second string for a different secret token by entering the command cd /opt/$HYDRA_NAME && export DEVISE_SECRET=$(bundle exec rake secret).
    2. Copy /opt/$HYDRA_NAME/config/initializers/devise.rb.sample to /opt/$HYDRA_NAME/config/initializers/devise.rb cp /opt/$HYDRA_NAME/config/initializers/devise.rb.sample /opt/$HYDRA_NAME/config/initializers/devise.rb.
    3. Replace the sample string with the string you just generated by entering the command sed -i.bak s/key\ =\ \'.*\'/key\ =\ \'$DEVISE_SECRET\'/g /opt/$HYDRA_NAME/config/initializers/devise.rb
  3. Symlink the solrconfig.xml and schema.xml files from the application into Solr by entering the commands:

    sudo ln -sf /opt/$HYDRA_NAME/solr_conf/conf/schema.xml /opt/solr/$HYDRA_NAME/collection1/conf/schema.xml  
    sudo ln -sf /opt/$HYDRA_NAME/solr_conf/conf/solrconfig.xml /opt/solr/$HYDRA_NAME/collection1/conf/solrconfig.xml  
  4. Set the Fits path for sufia by entering the command sed -i.bak "s/\/home\/ubuntu\/fits-0\.6\.1\/fits\.sh/\/usr\/local\/bin\/fits\.sh/g" /opt/$HYDRA_NAME/config/initializers/sufia.rb.

  5. Create and configure the temporary directory for transcoding to use the default directory by entering the command mkdir /opt/sufia_tmp.
    To use a different directory name, edit /opt/$HYDRA_NAME/config/initializers/sufia.rb and change the config.temp_file_base setting to your preferred name, then create your directory. The temporary transcoding directory should be owned by $USER.

  6. If you are using the local filesystem for storage, skip this step. The storage manager setting determines what kind of storage hydra expects for your fedora objects. The default setting is "NullStorageManager", which means you're using the local filesystem. If you are using an HSM to store your fedora objects, you must edit /opt/$HYDRA_NAME/config/application.rb and change the config.storage_manager line to config.storage_manager = 'SamfsStorageManager'.

  7. Prepare the databases & assets by entering the commands:

    cd /opt/$HYDRA_NAME  
    bundle exec rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production 
    bundle exec rake assets:precompile RAILS_ENV=production 
  8. Make the Apache user own the passenger temp and xsendfile directories using the command
    Ubuntu: sudo chown www-data:www-data /opt/passenger_temp /opt/xsendfile

  9. Restart tomcat using the command
    Ubuntu: sudo service tomcat7 restart

  10. Restart apache using the command
    Ubuntu: sudo service apache2 restart

Verification Steps

  1. Open a browser and navigate to the home page of your application. You should see the default Sufia home page.
