Gemstone load on «Ubuntu Server Edition»10.04 LTS

Hi All,

tomorrow i think to install a new server based on 10.04 LTS, «Ubuntu Server Edition».

After i'm interested to install on it the last Gemstone version.

What's the best method to do it ?

Some time ago i load Gemstone on MacBook and Monty Williams( thank ) i send me link to the script for configure and load all automatically.

I can found a script for do all on Ubuntu server ?

If no, i can use the GemStone/S 2.3.1 Web Edition for Linux from http://seaside.gemstone.com/downloads.html ?

or follow the James http://programminggems.wordpress.com/2010/01/12/slicehost-2/ indications ?

or ...... ?

How you have understand i'm no expert of Linux system and any consideration would be greatly appreciated !

Thank,

Dario

Dario,

I would think that following James' instructions:

http://programminggems.wordpress.com/2010/01/12/slicehost-2/

would your best bet.

In James' post he describes using a GemStone/S 64 2.4.1 installation.
For 2.4.x I recommend that you do an bootstrap install of 1.0-beta.5
rather than use the extent0.seaside.dbf that ships with 2.4.1:

http://gemstonesoup.wordpress.com/2009/12/16/bootstrapping-glass-1-0-beta-5/

and then upgrade to 1.0-beta.8.

Over the next several weeks I will be releasing a 1.0-beta.8 bootstrap,
a 2.4.x server release with 1.0-beta.8 pre-installed and new appliance,
but if your ready to install now, I'd say go ahead.

Hi,

i do some work for startup Gemstone on Ubuntu server Edition.

This are some consideration and questions.

A) i need to install:

apt-get install bc

apt-get install unzip

The equivalent installation script for Linux is http://seaside.gemstone.com/scripts/installGemstone2.3-Linux.sh
which only installs GemStone. It doesn't setup Apache or do anything else beyond installing GemStone itself.

You may want to change this line:
gsvers="GemStone64Bit2.3.1.0.1-x86_64.Linux"

to install GemStone 2.4 instead:
gsvers="GemStone64Bit2.4.2.1-x86_64.Linux"

B) I follow this last indication 2.4 , but i need also to change gss23 to gss24 in this line:

# Download GemStone echo "==> Downloading GemStone archive" if [ ! -e $zipfile ] then wget http://glass-downloads.gemstone.com/gss24/$zipfile

A this point after set the lighttpd.config, i start the gemstone and the request from www go well.

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

EXTENT PORTING

On my MAC where load Hyper server, i update the Gemstone to 1.0-beta8.

Now i copy from MAC to Ubuntu the extent0.dbf file.

The startup on Ubuntu go well and the GemTools work fine on this environment.

The www request don't go.

The system answer: 500 Internal Server Error or 503 - Service Not Available.

I think this problem is relative to the Seaside Hyper support.

Questions :

Q_A) i can remove the 'Seaside Hyper' from this environment on Ubuntu server and restore the FastCGI support ?

Q_B) I note the startup on ubuntu don't test the gemstone.secret password ( it's start always )

Q_B1) The shutdown erase always the :

GemStone: Error Fatal

( But i wrong configuration ?)

Q_C) i'm interested to startup Gemstone when the server go on.

Anyone writing shell to do it and other system operation ( save log - do backup ....... ) ?

Thanks,

Dario

Dale,

my goal is to port the Pier site development on MAC Gemstone to Ubuntu server

and development with seaside 2.8...... for now.

( I think to upgrade at seaside 3.0 after )

On my Ubuntu server i load the "GemStone64Bit2.4.2.1-x86_64.Linux".

I do this test and questions :

There are scripts for that that are part of the how to create your own
appliance
that I did.
