[General] Instructions for Lively Server Setup?

How does a user configure a server to allow saving a Lively world? Is it
possible to save a world if loading a file directly from the filesystem? Up
until now I've been calling my own code from Main.js when working locally -
and without persistence.

All of the following is based on a checkout I did about a week ago.

In brazil.config
Changed port to 80. (was 8081)
Uncommented proxy lines.
In defaultconfig.js
Changed port to 80. (was 8081)
Ran 'runbrazil.sh' as root.
Load index.xhtml
Can't load Pen.lkml
Can't load finance.google.com
Can't load download.finance.yahoo.com
Can't load feeds.bbc.co.uk.com

I edited brazil.config and added: mime.lkml=text/xml
Pen.lkml now loads when I refer to it directly.

These are the lines I had uncommented in brazil.config for the proxy
handling.
proxymap.class=sunlabs.brazil.handler.UrlMapperHandler
proxymap.match=^/proxy/(.*)
proxymap.replace=http://\\1
proxy.class=sunlabs.brazil.proxy.ProxyHandler

Tried to access directly:
http://127.0.0.1/trunk/source/kernel/proxy/www.apple.com
Got the error: Not Found
while trying to obtain /trunk/source/kernel/proxy/www.apple.com

Up until now I've been calling my own code from Main.js when working
locally. I will keep working in the wiki online but I'd feel like less of a
wiki spammer if I get this running locally. I also need to be able to test
locally with persistence.@some point I'd also like to be able to host
(displaying a Lively badge of course). :-)

Errata: Otherwise if I load the world directly from the filesystem and
select "publish world as", I see Null value Core.js line 719. Not sure if
Lively is meant to work this way though. :-)

addSystemDictionary: function(doc) {
var dict = lively.data.Wrapper.dictionary;
if (!dict) return;
var preExisting = doc.getElementById(dict.id); // <-----------------------
Core.js line 719
if (preExisting)
preExisting.parentNode.removeChild(preExisting);
var newDict = dict.cloneNode(true);
doc.getElementsByTagName('svg')[0].appendChild(doc.importNode(newDict,
true));
},

I've made some more progress.
In brazil.config, change main.handlers to:
main.handlers=session proxymap proxy template file

In defaultconfig.js: (maybe even localconfig.js)
proxyURL: 'http://127.0.0.1/proxy/', (error with
http://127.0.0.1:80/proxy/)

When I try to authenticate, the WikiNavigator can not be found. This is
likely because in Main.js, the WikiNavigator is initialized only if the
page/world has serialized contents.

If any of this is documented somewhere or if other config files exist I've
missed it.

I tweaked Main.js so the wiki navigator is enabled even if the world has no
serialized contents:

if (documentHasSerializedMorphs(document)) {
... snip ...
} else {
world = new WorldMorph(canvas);
// Create an empty world
world.displayOnCanvas(canvas);
if (Config.showWikiNavigator) {
require('LKWiki.js').toRun(function() {
console.log('starting WikiNavigator');
WikiNavigator.enableWikiNavigator();
});
}
}

But console.log('starting WikiNavigator') is never called and I see the
following in the console:

http://127.0.0.1/trunk/source/kernel/anonymous_module_0 has unloaded
requirements: http://127.0.0.1/trunk/source/kernel/LKWiki.js

I realized to look over here:
http://livelykernel.sunlabs.com/repository/lively-wiki/localconfig.jsArgh.
This should be somewhere in lively-kernel/trunk as wikiConfig.js or
something.

What I wrote earlier about moving the code for 'showWikiNavigator' was
probably wrong.

I'll try to go through all of this again and write some instructions. The
main problems I've encountered I think were

- configuring brazil.config
- localconfig.js for the wiki is not part of:
http://livelykernel.sunlabs.com/repository/lively-kernel/trunk/ - and
this is where I had checkout from. Finally realized to look
in repository/lively-wiki

In reply to this post by Philip Weaver

I don't normally save/publish worlds, but@some point I tested and
successfully saved a world using the apache mod_dav.
My configuration that looks something like this.

...
LoadModule dav_module modules/mod_dav.so
LoadModule dav_fs_module modules/mod_dav_fs.so
...

Alias /lk "C:/lk"

<Location /lk>
Dav On

# Auth config for this location

</Location>

...

# I don't use the generic proxy mechanism in LK
# I define a proxy for each resource separately
<Location /some_prefix/>

# Auth config for this location

ProxyPass http://destination_host/...
</Location>

BR,
Juhani

Thanks Dan and Juhani,
I just posted some server installation instructions on the wiki:

-
http://livelykernel.sunlabs.com/repository/lively-wiki/server-install.xhtml

Eventually this world will be linked up in the wiki.

Cheers,
Phil
