apache服务器安装以及使用passenger插件部署rails应用

小例子可以部署在rails自带的WEBrick上，逐渐往后走还得上Apache。

安装apache服务器

命令是sudo apt-get install apache2

安装passenger插件

安装完毕还不能立刻用，因为想运行rails应用的话，还要为apache服务器安装插件passenger。

passenger是一个gem包，安装命令是gem install passenger

passenger集成进Apache

执行命令passenger-install-apache2-module，进入安装程序。

abbuggy@abbuggy-ubuntu:~$ passenger-install-apache2-module Welcome to the Phusion Passenger Apache 2 module installer, v3.0.18.   This installer will guide you through the entire installation process. It shouldn‘t take more than 3 minutes in total.   Here‘s what you can expect from the installation process:    1. The Apache 2 module will be installed for you.  2. You‘ll learn how to configure Apache.  3. You‘ll learn how to deploy a Ruby on Rails application.   Don‘t worry if anything goes wrong. This installer will advise you on how to solve any problems.   Press Enter to continue, or Ctrl-C to abort.

回车确定之后，会进行依赖关系的检查，有部分内容不通过没有关系，回车之后会提示如何解决。

按照提示将缺少的依赖包，比如我缺少apache2-perfork-dev,libapr1-dev,libaprutil1-dev这三个包。

程序也给出了解决方法。虽然是分别给出的，但我们可以一并执行。你的环境可能和我不一样，按照上面的提示来九成。

再次执行passenger-install-apache2-module安装，编译完毕之后，给出了成功提示。还要求将以下内容放到apache的配置文件中。

The Apache 2 module was successfully installed.   Please edit your Apache configuration file, and add these lines:      LoadModule passenger_module /home/abbuggy/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p320/gems/passenger-3.0.18/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so    PassengerRoot /home/abbuggy/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p320/gems/passenger-3.0.18    PassengerRuby /home/abbuggy/.rvm/wrappers/ruby-1.9.2-p320/ruby   After you restart Apache, you are ready to deploy any number of Ruby on Rails applications on Apache, without any further Ruby on Rails-specific configuration!   Press ENTER to continue.

apache的配置文件位于/etc/apache2/httpd.conf，编辑并添加之。到目前为止，httpd.conf是这样的。

LoadModule passenger_module /home/abbuggy/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p320/gems/passenger-3.0.18/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so PassengerRoot /home/abbuggy/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p320/gems/passenger-3.0.18 PassengerRuby /home/abbuggy/.rvm/wrappers/ruby-1.9.2-p320/ruby

部署Rails应用

我想通过类似于“localhost/simple-cms”的地址访问我的例子站点，后续更多的站点都可以按照形如

localhost/site1

localhost/site2

的格式。

首先得配置一个基准目录也就是apache的根目录。

向httpd.conf中添加如下的配置，将/var/www设置为web的根目录，回头要往这个目录中放置各个站点。

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

<VirtualHost *:80>       ServerName localhost       DocumentRoot /var/www       <Directory /var/www>          Allow from all       </Directory> </VirtualHost>

接下来把一个具体的站点挂在web根目录下面，比如这个simple-cms。还是向/etc/apache2/httpd.conf配置，后面的四行是新加的。/simple-cms是相对于上面localhost的访问地址

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

<VirtualHost *:80>    ServerName localhost    DocumentRoot /var/www    <Directory /var/www>       Allow from all    </Directory>         RailsBaseURI /simple-cms    <Directory /var/www/simple_cms>       Options -MultiViews    </Directory> </VirtualHost>

/var/www/test_site是一个软连接，指向开发环境中的public目录。

1	sudo ln -s /home/abbuggy/workspace/simple_cms/public  /var/www/simple-cms

不过我自己配置的时候，死活配不对，总是提示"We‘re sorry,but something went wrong!"临近崩溃边缘时终于找到解决方案。”The defaultRAILS_ENV environment in which deployed Rails applicationsare run, is “production”. You can change this by changing theRailsEnv configuration option.“ --来自于Phusion Passenger users guide

即缺省生效的是production环境，如果在调试时使用development环境的话需要在apache配置文件中增加一行RailsEnv development，所以正确的配置是。

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

<VirtualHost *:80>    ServerName localhost    DocumentRoot /var/www    <Directory /var/www>       Allow from all    </Directory>         RailsBaseURI /simple-cms    RailsEnv development    <Directory /var/www/simple_cms>       Options -MultiViews    </Directory> </VirtualHost>

重启apache，sudo service apache2 restart，访问localhost/simple-cms成功。
