Krishna's notes on setting up MySQL/Mongrel/Apache2 on OS 10.3.9

this is largely based on chapter 27 of AWDwR, 2nd ed.

follow the macports installation instructions here: http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/wiki/InstallingMacPorts except i set $PATH in /etc/profile with

 export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH

then

 sudo port selfupdate

 sudo port install gperf

(ran into errors with "gperf: invalid option -- m" before doing this)

 sudo port install rb-termios

(crashed installing ruby, but not needed)

 sudo port install autoconf

(ran into old version issue before doing this)

 sudo port install apache2

add the following line to /etc/hostconfig as instructed

 APACHE2=-YES-

added following to /etc/profile

 PATH="/opt/local/apache2/bin:$PATH"

copied httpd.conf.example to httpd.conf added proxy section:

in httpd.conf, uncomment

 Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

and add

 <Proxy balancer://mongrel_cluster>
   BalancerMember http://127.0.0.1:8000
   # put as many members here as you have mongrels
 </Proxy>

in conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

presuming rails and rake are installed, do:

 sudo gem install --include-dependencies termios
 sudo gem install --include-dependencies capistrano
 sudo gem install --include-dependencies mongrel
 sudo gem install --include-dependencies mongrel_cluster

Note: if capistrano hangs, try reinstalling ruby as described here: http://weblog.jamisbuck.org/2005/9/24/switchtower-on-osx

if you get 'command not found' errors, try setting the ssh env as in: http://forum.textdrive.com/viewtopic.php?id=12629

 sudo  mongrel_rails cluster::start -C /Library/Rails/mx/current/config/mongrel_cluster.yml
