Can't deploy Mayan properly over Apache

Post by facu8990 »

Hi, i'm really new to Mayan EDMS, and i loved it since first use.

I've been able to make it work following the "Direct installation" guide on Ubuntu 18.04. I can acces Mayan through the IP of my VPS, but im not being able to get my apache configuration work.

My file structure is the same as shown in Mayan Documentationt.
This is my "mayan.conf" file for Apache Virtual Host

Code: Select all

<VirtualHost *:80>
	ServerAdmin admin@mayan.localhost
	ServerName mayan.localhost
	ServerAlias www.mayan.localhost
	DocumentRoot /opt/mayan-edms/
	ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
	CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

	Alias /static /opt/mayan-edms/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mayan/media/static
	<Directory /opt/mayan-edms/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mayan/media/static>
		Require all granted
	</Directory>

	Alias /media /opt/mayan-edms/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mayan/media
	<Directory /opt/mayan-edms/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mayan/media>
		Require all granted
	</Directory>

	<Directory /opt/mayan-edms/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mayan>
		<Files wsgi.py>
			Require all granted
		</Files>
	</Directory>

	WSGIDaemonProcess mayan python-path=/opt/mayan-edms python-home=/opt/mayan-edms
	WSGIProcessGroup mayan
	WSGIScriptAlias / /opt/mayan-edms/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mayan/wsgi.py
</VirtualHost>
Result from:
sudo tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log

Code: Select all

You need to pass the database, results storage and broker setting as environment variables. Also this will only launch the frontend part of the stack you still need to find a way to launch the workers processes.

Finally be aware that there is an issue with Apache on Python 3.8 if you upgrade (https://gitlab.com/mayan-edms/mayan-edms/-/issues/845). This is a change made in Python and cannot be fixed or workaround by Mayan.
