Labs/Joey/ServerSetup

WORKING ON THIS NOW. ;-)

This page is the How To on setting up a Joey Server.

I am using a Red Hat Enterprise Server using the rhel-i386-as-4-webapp-1-beta feed for php5.

up2date ImageMagick
up2date httpd
up2date mod_ssl
up2date mysql
up2date mysql-server
up2date php
up2date php-mysql
up2date php-domxml
up2date subversion

You will need to setup FFMPEG if you want to play with videos at all. Directions are here. We offer absolutely NO support, so don't send any emails to me about "how do I build ffmpeg". Heck, we barely know how to do it.

You might wanna try this configure option "--enable-gpl --enable-memalign-hack --enable-amr_nb".

Pull the Joey Server code:

For anonymous browsing and checkout, use http://svn.mozilla.org. This should be put somewhere where apache can see it.

After a checkout, we have something that looks like:

[dougt@sm-mobile02 joey.labs.mozilla.com]$ pwd
/data/joey.labs.mozilla.com
[dougt@sm-mobile02 joey.labs.mozilla.com]$ ls -al
total 36
drwxr-xr-x   7 dougt root  4096 Apr  6 10:28 .
drwxr-xr-x   4 dougt root  4096 Apr  6 10:20 ..

Read over app/config/config.php-dist, and make your copy here:

app/config/config.php

This will contain some interesting and important settings.

Setup apache.

There are some changes you need to make to a standard apache install. In http.conf,

change:

DocumentRoot to /data/joey.labs.mozilla.com (or wherever you have checked out the Joey Server code)

Add these types:

AddType application/x-xpinstall .xpi AddType video/3gpp .3gp AddType text/xml .rdf

Also setup any virtual hosts that you might need:

NameVirtualHost *:80
NameVirtualHost *:443

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName joey.labs.mozilla.com

  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteRule ^/joey\.xpi$ - [L]
  RewriteRule ^/update\.rdf$ - [L]
  RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ https://joey.labs.mozilla.com/$1 [R=301,L]
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:443>
  ServerName joey.labs.mozilla.com
  DocumentRoot /data/joey.labs.mozilla.com

  SSLEngine On
  php_value apc.enabled off

  <Directory /data/joey.labs.mozilla.com>
    AllowOverride All
  </Directory>

  RewriteEngine On

</VirtualHost>

Also, you want to make sure that your server speaks SSL. Without going into too much detail about this.

You will need to setup the database (will get you the schema url)

Make sure that sqld is running:

sudo /sbin/service mysqld start

Then setup the user. It can be anything as long as it matches what you put in config.php above.

mysqladmin -u root password 'passwordyouwant'

cd app/config/sql

mysql -u root -p 'passwordyouset'

create database joey;
use joey;
source joey.sql;
