Docs

[fescon]

Due to the fact, that there are no docs up to now - for me as a ruby newbie it's quite hard to understand where to place the posty_api on my system - I'm tryin to get posty_webui to run - problem for me is how to link posty_api to posty_webui. I'm on ubuntu 12.04 and running ruby 1.9.3

Thx in adavance

The posty_api should run on the mailserver. In the configuration of the webui you must specify the URL and the Port on which the posty_api is accessable. Please use the webui branch beta-v.1.0.1 which has nearly all new features from the posty_api integrated. Ruby 1.9.3 is correct and should work with the actual posty_api version. Any other specific problems?

Ok next - I've got a postfix/dovecot installation running basing on the workaround.org tutorial, now it tries create a table which still exists or do I have to run posty on a seperat DB? Don't think so - how can I change the migration scripts so they only update the missing fields and views?

[chicobico]

Create a blank Database and follow the instructions in the readme. In the database.yml file add your database name, username, password in the production section. Now run "RACK_ENV=production rake db:migrate" or set the environment variable RACK_ENV to production and run "rake db:migrate" and all tables will be created automatically for you.

1. Download the source either using git or from the GitHub page as archive.
2. Extract the archive
3. Change directory to the extracted folder
4. Move config/database_default.yml to config/database.yml and change it to your needs.
5. Run bundle install
6. Run rake db:migrate
7. Run rake api_key:generate
8. Start the application e.g. with rackup

Do I run apache for the api service with mod-passenger or with mod_ruby?

[chicobico]

You can use apache with passenger. If you want to try it first go to the project folder and run "RACK_ENV=production rackup" With this command the server is started in foreground and you can see the output. You can also daemonize rackup with the option -D Or you can use e.g. puma, thin,...

[fescon]

And hopefully the last question: What do I have to put in conf.js as URL to connect to rakeup?

Hey fescon,

var serverUrl = 'http://example.com/api/v1'; // here your can set your posty_API URL var serverAuthKey = 'API KEY'; // here you can set your posty_API Key

[fescon]

The README.md mentions under Installation to run: $ bundle install When I try that on a debian wheezy installation I get the following: ruby: No such file or directory -- bundle (LoadError) I guess there are essential parts missing in my ruby setup.
