Get Up and Running on Warehouse Post to delicious

Install Warehouse on Dreamhost.

Installing Warehouse on Dreamhost

  1. Setup a fully hosted site in the DreamHost Control Panel

    NOTE: You may want to set this up to run as a different user. Dreamhost monitors memory usage per user, and starts killing processes if a user exceeds a certain threshold.

    Make sure you check the FastCGI button, and make sure you add /public/ to the web directory field. In my case I setup wh.mydomain.com, so in the "Specify your web directory" field I had wh.mydomain.com/public.

    After that, you need to setup a wildcard DNS entry for your subdomains. I manually added *.wh.mydomain.com as a CNAME to wh.mydomain.com

  2. Unpack and edit the appropriate files

    Unzip Warehouse in the appropriate directory and edit the dispatch.rb and dispatch.fcgi to set the correct Ruby path. It should be /usr/bin/ruby.

    Open .htaccess and find the following line 

    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.cgi [QSA,L]
    Change it to the line below 
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L]

    Now edit your config/environment.rb file and uncomment the following line. 

    ENV['RAILS_ENV'] ||= 'production'

  3. Complete the

    You should now be able to fire up irb and run the following command and have it print true 

    require 'svn/core'
=> true
