Assembla Development

This instructions are not required to use Assembla. You should only follow them if you want to enable the Portfolio Manager with Branded subdomains.

1. Option (easy)

1) Add the following lines to your settings_local.yml file

app_domain: .lvh.me

2) Run your server

./rails s

3) Access portfolio via

http://myportfolio.lvh.me:3000

2. Option (difficult)

Required:

• A running version of assembla in your computer
• Mongrel
• Apache 2 (not sure which version you will need, I have Apache/2.2.8)

Steps:

1) Add the following lines to your settings_local.yml file

enable_subdomains: true
app_domain: .myassembla.com

2) Install Passenger

gem install passenger

passenger-install-apache2-module

3) Follow the instructions in the screen to configure Apache with Passenger

4) Add Breakout application to your Apache configuration file (check "Deploying a Ruby on Rails application" from the screen instructions)

This is an example of mine:

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName www.myassembla.com
  ServerAlias *.myassembla.com
  ServerAlias myassembla.com
  DocumentRoot /home/sergio/trabajo/workspace/breakout/public
  <Directory /home/sergio/trabajo/workspace/breakout/public >
    AllowOverride all
    Options -MultiViews
   </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Important: Make sure to include the ServerAlias instructions to enable subdomains

5) Restart Apache

6) Add the domain of your server to you hosts file (/etc/hosts)

127.0.0.1 myassembla.com

127.0.0.1 company.myassembla.com 

Important: Notice that wildcars like * are not supported in hosts file, so you will have to add the subdomain of the portfolio you want to test

7) Access http://myassembla.com and Enjoy
