first post on public weblog; setting up fresh gentoo on slicehost with rails
So, here is is, my first post on this sparkling new blog of my own.
As I was setting blog up on fresh slice of slicehost, I found that there were number of instructions around how to do it, but none of them started from the very beginning, and they are mostly not based on Gentoo. So, I decided to write my own short guide on how to install initial rails environment on Gentoo.
I understand that people that dare to use Gentoo have good knowledge of basic building blocks, and personal preferences on them. This guide is just that, guide,not too detailed, without too many words to distract, and by no means foolproof. If you do not know what is Gentoo, you might be better off using some easier distribution, like Ubuntu. If you know and like Gentoo, I have to tell you that it is nice to use it on slicehost, with all the burstable raw CPU power.
Lets get started.
First, of course, buy a slice from slicehost ;) I got 256M one, and so far I liked it.
ssh to slice by IP and change root password:
ssh -lroot xx.xx.xx.xx
passwdLogin to slicehost manager and create your DNS entries (unless somebody else manages them). Create only one entry per domain ( for example, one entry for “woodenbits.com”, and another one for “suretask.com”), than create aliases within those domains (“www”, “blog”, “svn” for woodenbits.com etc).
Now, back to ssh.
Add USE flags to your system:
USE="apache2 ruby ssl mysql postgres sqlite3 imagemagick gif jpeg jpeg2k png tiff svg wmf xpm pdf truetype unicode"Optional, but recommended step – instal screen utility and start it
emerge screen
screen -h 9999Upgrade your gentoo with fresh code out there:
emerge portage
emerge --update --deep --newuse worldLast step takes looong time, better run t overnight. Detach from screen session by pressing “ctrl-a d”, than log out of ssh.
Come back next morning, ssh back to yuor slice, reattach your screen session with
screen -xMerge all config files (about 29 of them):
etc-updateKeep your hostname config, it seems to be OK to replace rhe rest of them with updated version automatically.
Just in case, close shells in your screen session, that will exit it, than perform soft reboot from slicehost manager. That takes just seconds.
Ssh in there again, start screen again, and lets continue:
emerge ruby rubygems sqlite --askIf you are planning on using pound for load balancing, get it:
emerge openssl pound --askIf pound is still masked, unmask it so that emerge dares to install it: nano /etc/portage/package.unmask Add line
~www-servers/pound-2.3.2Lets unmask newer versions of apache 2.2 and postgres 8.2 and install it
site ~ # more /etc/portage/package.keywords
~www-servers/pound-2.3.2
~net-www/apache-2.2.4
~app-admin/apache-tools-2.2.4
~dev-libs/apr-1.2.8
~dev-libs/apr-util-1.2.8
~dev-db/postgresql-8.2.4
~dev-db/libpq-8.2.4site ~ # more /etc/portage/package.unmask
net-www/apache
app-admin/apache-tools
dev-libs/apr
dev-libs/apr-utilemerge subversion postgresql --ask
emerge --config =postgresql-8.2.4-r1
emerge --config =dev-util/subversion-1.3.2-r4Now, lets start with rubygems installations
gem update --system
gem install rails mongrel mongrel_cluster postgres sqlite3-ruby -yLets get capistrano, it is going to make our life easier down the road.
gem install termios capistranoAgain, this is optional task, but those utilities are sooooo useful.
emerge vim sudo slocate --ask
locate -sCreate your subversion users list and first user, than create svn repository.
htpasswd2 -c /var/svn/conf/svnusers USER_NAME
svnadmin create --fs-type fsfs /var/svn/repos/YOUR_SVN_ROOT
chown -R apache.apache reposNow, configure your apache, there are some excellent guides out there, I will not cover it here – call me lazy if you wish ;)
Tell gentoo to load apache on startup:
rc-update add apache2 default
rcAt this point you should have functioning system, and you can start deploying you rails applications there. Have fun doing it!

Yesterday i bought viagra in <a href=http://shoppharm.com>Online drugstore</a>.
On my surprise it works excellent! All the matter is that the price low, because I do not pay for the trade mark. That's all!
You can see explanations about it.
A generic drug (generic drugs, short: generics) is a drug which is produced and distributed without patent protection. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, generic drugs are identical bioequivalent range to the brand name counterpart with respect to pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties. By extension, therefore, generics are considered identical in dose, strength, route of administration, safety, efficacy, and intended use. In most cases, generic products are available once the patent protections afforded to the original developer have expired. When generic products become available, the market competition often leads to substantially lower prices for both the original brand name product and the generic forms.
