[ensembl-dev] Installing ensembl site

[ed]

Sorry.  I should have noticed.  I have experienced problems almost exactly what you report with Ubuntu 14.04 with a variety of older open source installs.

Duarte,

What version of Ubuntu?  14.04 is typically a big problem with older LAMP architecture install instructions.

Dear Ensembl Devs 

 

Your manual to how to install a local version of your ensembl site are woefully incomplete and out ot date.

 

Is there any willingness of fixing these instructions?

 

A few of my remarks:

 

http://www.ensembl.org/info/docs/webcode/mirror/install/non-ensembl-code.html

 

The description on how to build configure and install and configure Apache server and mod_perl are incomplete and even my attempts at following the steps on my debian server simply fail due to missing dependencies.

 

Given most people will be running servers on debian and ubuntu and similar servers it would be very welcome a more targeted approach to the usual default configuration of systems after after a simple

 

sudo apt-get install git

sudo apt-get install apache2

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-perl2

 

?

 

This is the way I have opted to install git,  apache and mod_perl and I think because if it, I still have not been able to setup the site properly because your setup assumes wrong folder locations for many of the apache2  configuration files installed in this manner.

 

 

http://www.ensembl.org/info/docs/webcode/mirror/install/ensembl-code.html

 

git ensembl --clone api
git ensembl --clone web

The instructions above are incorrect

 

I think they should be :

 

git-ensembl --clone api
git-ensembl --clone web

correct me if I am wrong, please.

 

 

http://www.ensembl.org/info/docs/webcode/mirror/running.html

 

As indicated before, these instructions assume a non-standard apache setup.

At least in debian and ubuntu ... there is no httpd command

 

apache2 server is started using the command :

 

sudo apache2ctl start

 

 

I hope this has highlighted a few of the difficulties with your documentation

Maybe these are problems only to newbies like me... but at least, maybe they can help other that are also experiencing difficulties following your manual.

 

Best regards

 

Duarte
