4 This is the static HTML site for LibrePlanet 2015. Read on for
5 instructions on how to setup your development environment.
7 The repository has a master (development) branch and a stable
8 (live) branch. To work on it, you'll edit your checkout of the
9 master branch until you are satisfied, push it to the master
10 branch on the Web server (<http://wiki-dev0.libreplanet.org>),
11 make sure it works well and make sure it works well. Then
12 you'll copy it over to your checkout of the stable branch,
13 then push that to the stable branch on the Web server
14 (<http://libreplanet.org>).
19 Apache is required in order to replicate the appearance of the website
20 on the live and staging servers on your machine. If you don't want to
21 install Apache, you can still work on the site, you just won't be able
22 to see what it looks like until you push to the remote.
24 Modifying Apache's configuration files and running its executables
25 typically requires root access. So, you will most likely need to run
26 the commands below as the root user using `sudo`.
28 ### Enable server-side include module
34 If this doesn't work, you may not have Apache installed. Install the
35 package apache2 from your package manager.
37 ### Create virtual host
39 Create a new file called libreplanet in `/etc/apache2/sites-available` with the following contents:
43 ServerName lp2015.libreplanet.org
44 DocumentRoot /path/to/libreplanet-static
47 Options FollowSymLinks
50 <Directory /path/to/libreplanet-static>
51 Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
59 ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
61 CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
65 Replace all instances of `/path/to/libreplanet-static` with the full path to the root directory of your local
68 ### Enable virtual host
71 a2ensite your-virtual-host
74 Replace `your-virtual-host` with the name of virtual host file you made (in this case, libreplanet).
79 service apache2 restart
82 ### Edit your hosts file
84 Edit your system's `/etc/hosts` file and add the following to the bottom:
87 127.0.0.1 lp2015.libreplanet.org
92 Visit <http://lp2015.libreplanet.org/2015> in your web browser. If
93 everything is configured properly, you will see the LibrePlanet 2015
94 site, complete with header, sidebar, and footer.
101 Add the following to your new page (it should remain commented out, as that is the syntax for SSI):
104 <!--#include virtual="/server/2015/header.html"-->
105 <!--#include virtual="/server/2015/banner.html"-->
106 <!--#include virtual="/server/2015/sidebar.html"-->
107 <!--#include virtual="/server/2015/footer.html"-->
108 <!--#include virtual="/server/2015/close.html"-->
111 This will include the header, banner, sidebar, footer and closing tags
112 saving you from duplicating HTML.
114 If JS is needed for a page, then create a file, containing the JS
115 includes, in `/server/2015/` & use SSI to include it in the page.
117 Use `/server/2015/boilerplate.html` to start a new page.
121 Add HTML markup in-between the sidebar and footer includes.
125 Files that contain include directives must be marked as executable
126 otherwise Apache will not parse them. The directive `XBitHack on`
127 enables this behavior.
129 To mark a file as executable, run:
135 Replace `foo.html` with the desired file name.
137 Deploying to Staging/Live Servers
138 ---------------------------------
140 A system of git hooks automates deployment to the staging and live
141 servers. When you push to the `master` branch, the site is deployed
142 to <http://wiki-dev0.libreplanet.org/2015>. When you push to the
143 `stable` branch, the site is deployed to <http://libreplanet.org>.
145 When you're happy with the state of the master branch and want to
146 deploy live, do the following:
154 This merges the master branch with the stable branch, updates the
155 remote repository on the git server, and triggers a deploy to
156 <http://libreplanet.org>.
