## Set up Rails envirenment on AWS This README file explains how to set up the AWS EC2 instance with Ubuntu, Apache, postgreSQL and Ruby on Rails

### GET STARTED

  1. **Click the follwing link**, will take you to the AWS marketplace to begin setting up your EC2 instance

aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B00JV8XNKQ/ref=gtw_msl_image?ie=UTF8&pf_rd_r=05ZA3J50A153TVH69TTW&pf_rd_m=A33KC2ESLMUT5Y&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_i=awsmp-gateway-1&pf_rd_p=1825567482&pf_rd_s=right-3

  1. Assuming you have setup your aws account, **select your region** and **click continue**

  2. Choose your Instance type and following directions to set up your key pair. When creating a key pair, .pem file will be downloaded. Put this file in a safe place because you’ll need it to access SSH and FTP

  3. Launch

### SSH

  1. SSH username is Ubuntu

  2. Get the public DNS. In the AWS EC2 console click on the instance, see below.

it looks like this: ec2-54-187-205-42.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com

  1. Open Terminal and follow the steps below. You’ll need your private key you downloaded early.

“‘

$ cd/dir/privatekeydir
$ chmod 400 mykey.pem
$ ssh -i private_key.pem [email protected]

“‘

## INSTALL Ruby

### STEP 1: Get some dependencies

“‘

$ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install git-core curl zlib1g-dev build-essential libssl-dev libreadline-dev libyaml-dev libsqlite3-dev $ sqlite3 libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev python-software-properties

“‘

### STEP 2: Install Ruby with RVM “‘ sudo apt-get install libgdbm-dev libncurses5-dev automake libtool bison libffi-dev curl -L get.rvm.io | bash -s stable source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm echo “source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm” >> ~/.bashrc rvm install 2.1.2 rvm use 2.1.2 –default ruby -v

“‘

### STEP 3: Tell Rubygems not to install the documentation for each package locally

“‘ echo “gem: –no-ri –no-rdoc” > ~/.gemrc

“‘

## INSTALL Rails

### STEP 1: Install Node.js

To install NodeJS, we’re going to add it using a PPA repository:

“‘ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install nodejs

“‘

### STEP 2: Now install Rails

‘gem install rails`

run raisl -v to check everything is installed correctly

‘rails -v`

## INSTALL PostgreSQL

### STEP 1: add a new repository and easily install

“‘ sudo sh -c “echo ’deb apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ precise-pgdg main’ > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list” wget –quiet -O - apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ACCC4CF8.asc | sudo apt-key add - sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install postgresql-common sudo apt-get install postgresql-9.3 libpq-dev

“‘

### STEP 2: Set up Postgres User

“‘ sudo -u postgres psql postgres

# password postgres

Enter new password:

“‘

## Create new rails app

“‘

rails new myapp -d postgresql cd myapp rake db:create rails server

“‘

**You’ll probably get this error in terminal**

‘ FATAL: Peer authentication failed for user “postgres” `

ou need to make a small shange to your pg_hba.conf locate /etc/posgresql/9.3/main/

“‘

$ cd /etc/postgresql/9.3/main $ sudo pico ph_hba.conf

“‘

## INSTALL APACHE

“‘

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install apache2

“‘

More details: www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-the-apache-web-server-on-an-ubuntu-or-debian-vps

## INSTALL PASSENGER Passenger is going to help you launch your ruby app

“‘ sudo gem install passenger sudo passenger-install-apache2-module

“‘

Following the instructions diring installing of passenger

“‘

  • sudo pico apache2.conf

  • cd sites-available

  • sudo pico 000-default.conf

  • Must restart server when changes are made to yml files

  • add this line to apache conf

    LoadModule passenger_module /home/ubuntu/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.2/gems/passenger-4.0.45/buildout/apache2/mod_passenger.so
<IfModule mod_passenger.c>
  PassengerRoot /home/ubuntu/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.2/gems/passenger-4.0.45
  PassengerDefaultRuby /home/ubuntu/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.2/wrappers/ruby
</IfModule>
