It seems as though, that the problem is not getting access to MediaCore, but actually deploying it. It runs fine through the built in paster web server. Say I run "paster serve --reload deployment.ini", I can then check out my installation at "http://my-ip:8080"... But as I read here:</p> <blockquote><p> MediaCore CE is WSGI-based so there are many possible ways to deploy it. The built in Paste server does a great job for development, but you may want to run MediaCore CE from a more performant web server.</p> </blockquote> <p>I have mod_wsgi installed, and as I previously mentioned above, I have already created a VirtualHost include. I seem to be one step from completion!</p> <p>Thank you again. </p> http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/topic/deployment-issues-apache-mod_wsgi#post-3531 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 10:06:47 +0000 Felix Schwarz 3531@http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/ <p>Very likely you have to modify your .htaccess so that MediaCore requests are not forwarded to WordPress' index.php. Try renaming your .htaccess and check if MediaCore works (if it does, the issue is within the .htaccess).</p> <p>Probably you have to add a RewriteCond here:<br /> RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]<br /> RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d </p> http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/topic/deployment-issues-apache-mod_wsgi#post-3530 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 13:09:28 +0000 nbruzzi 3530@http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/ <p>-bash: getenforce: command not found</p> <p>Also, instead of "my_media", I used "watch".<br /> And I left my MC install directory as "mediacore_install".</p> <p>This is my VirtualHost include:</p> <blockquote><p> WSGIDaemonProcess mcore \<br /> threads=10 \<br /> display-name=%{GROUP} \<br /> python-path=/mediacore_env/lib/python2.5/site-packages \<br /> python-eggs=/mediacore_install/data/python-egg-cache</p> <p>WSGIProcessGroup mcore</p> <p>WSGIScriptAlias /watch /mediacore_install/deployment-scripts/mod_wsgi/mediacore.wsgi</p> <p>&lt;Location "/watch"&gt;<br /> Allow from all<br /> &lt;/Location&gt;</p> <p>&lt;Directory /mediacore_install/deployment-scripts/mod_wsgi&gt;<br /> Order allow,deny<br /> Allow from all<br /> &lt;/Directory&gt;</p> <p>AliasMatch /watch/images/(media|podcasts)(.*) /mediacore_install/data/images/$1$2</p> <p>AliasMatch /watch/(admin/)?(images|scripts|styles)(.*) /mediacore_install/mediacore/public/$1$2$3</p> <p>Alias /watch/appearance /mediacore_install/data/appearance</p> <p>&lt;Directory /mediacore_install/mediacore/public/*&gt;<br /> Order allow,deny<br /> Allow from all<br /> Options -Indexes<br /> &lt;/Directory&gt;</p> </blockquote> <p>Also, I am running Wordpress multisite.

I found that I was hitting the same error, also when trying to configure MediaCore on WebFaction using mod_WSGI:<br /> <code><br /> Syntax error on line 49 of /home/aicm/webapps/mediacore_wsgi/apache2/conf/httpd.conf:<br /> Invalid command 'Allow', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server conf<br /> </code></p> <p>The solution for me was to just add these lines directly under the other "LoadModule" lines in httpd.conf:<br /> <code><br /> LoadModule authz_host_module modules/mod_authz_host.so<br /> LoadModule alias_module modules/mod_alias.so<br /> </code></p> <p>I also commented out the WSGIDaemonProcess line that was created by WebFaction.. Then, I restarted Apache and everything worked! </p> http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/topic/how-to-install-mediacore-on-webfaction#post-3164 Wed, 24 Aug 2011 08:09:16 +0000 atmediacore 3164@http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/ <p>Thanks @aicm for the response.

Until mediacore is able to search without needing fulltext search database triggers you are stuck having to compile your own mysqld. Webfaction does not allow root level access to their mysql server... I have also tried to get them to issue the command as root and they are not willing to. </p> http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/topic/issues-deploying-mediacore-9#post-2190 Mon, 23 May 2011 03:50:32 +0000 edsonsantoro 2190@http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/ <p>EDITED: IT WORK!!

And yes, the latter is done by MediaCore if you put the correct connection string in the config file. </p> http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/topic/how-to-install-mediacore-on-webfaction#post-2184 Sun, 22 May 2011 18:16:59 +0000 e-singh 2184@http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/ <p>Oh man.... Just found out that they do have MySql installed on the server by default and one can just add databases. I think that you are right, it is possible. Hopefully, if I have to do it again then I would try to use the installed mySQL server. However, if I wanted to set up the database on the existing mySQL server, then its only the DB connection string that I have to change in the deployement.ini and install the triggers right?</p> <p>It's better to update this page, which is the source of the confusion (Question no. 3) <a href="http://mediacore.com/faq" rel="nofollow">http://mediacore.com/faq</a> </p> http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/topic/how-to-install-mediacore-on-webfaction#post-2183 Sun, 22 May 2011 17:44:58 +0000 Felix Schwarz 2183@http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/ <p>sorry for the confusion, but you don't need MySQL root access, just SSH (with root access or all libraries installed). </p> http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/topic/how-to-install-mediacore-on-webfaction#post-2182 Sun, 22 May 2011 17:28:17 +0000 e-singh 2182@http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/ <p>No, they did have MySql which I could install but I am not sure that it would have installed it on the root as the requirements stated that MediaCore needed mySql root access. So because I was following the tutorial, I did it that way. It was challenging enough as it is so I wasn't in the going to be adventrous and try anything new as SSH shell is a new teritory for me. </p> http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/topic/how-to-install-mediacore-on-webfaction#post-2180 Sun, 22 May 2011 16:10:48 +0000 Felix Schwarz 2180@http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/ <p>e-singh: Glad, it worked out for you :-)</p> <p>So you're saying on WebFaction there is no MySQL installed? So you had to compile it yourself?<br /> (I'm asking this because I'm often asked for a US-based hoster for MediaCore and so far I though WebFaction is one of the better ones which provide the usual stuff like MySQL). </p> http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/topic/how-to-install-mediacore-on-webfaction#post-2179 Sun, 22 May 2011 15:50:58 +0000 e-singh 2179@http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/ <p>Thanks Felix for your valuable comments. Apart from MySQL everything was installed by WebFaction so that's good and I finally did get it working after about 18 hours of hard work. lol</p> <p>I realised that the mod_wsgi/mediacore.wsgi I was linking to deployment_config = '/path/to/mediacore_install/deployment.ini' but I hadn't created the deployment.ini file. </p> <p>So finally now I can start experimenting with mediaCore. </p> http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/topic/how-to-install-mediacore-on-webfaction#post-2172 Sun, 22 May 2011 00:46:17 +0000 Felix Schwarz 2172@http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/ <p>As a Fedora Packager and sysadmin I'd say: Never compile MySQL, Python or Apache yourself! (and as a professional sysadmin you'll know when exceptions apply and which disadvantages there will be to compiling yourself)</p> <p>I don't know WebFaction but whatever is installed there should be ok.

I figured it out eventually. It doesn't work with 5.5 mySql so I used 5.1 instead and also realised that it has to be the source code. </p> <p>Also the instructions -S=$HOME/mysql/mysql.sock are slightly incorrect. There should be no equal sign. It should be just (without the equal sign) -S $HOME/mysql/mysql.sock</p> <p>However, I am stuck on the last bit. Linking the apache server with mediacore. I'm not quite sure that the last custom app that we create, do we set the port number that it gives us under the [server:main] and also should we replace the host with something else or leave it as 127.0.0.1 (localhost) in the developement.ini file?</p> <p>Also, when modifying the httpd.conf do we need to delete something and does the order of the tags matter that we are required to copy for mediacore?</p> <p>The main problem that I am having is that even though I have done the installation bit, I don't know how to access mediacore via the browser?</p> <p>Any help would be appretiated.

However, I am stuck at Step 2 when I am trying to run the command </p> <p>./configure --prefix=$HOME/mysql</p> <p>It says that no such file or direcotry but I am just wondering could it be due to the fact that I don't have the right tar.gz files.

You can add this line for enabling that:<br /> &gt; `# Use PHP5CGI as default<br /> &gt; AddHandler fcgid-script .php`</p> <p>Ignore that, that's only related to PHP which is not used by MediaCore.</p> <p>fs </p>
