BitNami Weblate Stack 1.3-2 ============================ 1. OVERVIEW The BitNami Project was created to help spread the adoption of freely available, high quality, open source web applications. BitNami aims to make it easier than ever to discover, download and install open source software such as document and content management systems, wikis and blogging software. You can learn more about BitNami at http://bitnami.org Weblate is a web based translation tool with tight Git integration. It features simple and clean user interface, propagation of translations across subprojects, consistency checks and automatic linking to source files. Weblate is written in Python and powered by the Django application framework. You can learn more about Weblate at http://weblate.org The BitNami Weblate Stack is an installer that greatly simplifies the installation of Weblate and runtime dependencies. It includes ready-to-run versions of Apache, Django, Python and MySQL. BitNami Weblate Stack is distributed for free under the Apache 2.0 license. Please see the appendix for the specific licenses of all open source components included. You can learn more about BitNami Stacks at http://bitnami.org/stacks/ 2. FEATURES - Easy to Install BitNami Stacks are built with one goal in mind: to make it as easy as possible to install open source software. Our installers completely automate the process of installing and configuring all of the software included in each Stack, so you can have everything up and running in just a few clicks. - Independent BitNami Stacks are completely self-contained, and therefore do not interfere with any software already installed on your system. For example, you can upgrade your system's MySQL or Apache without fear of 'breaking' your BitNami Stack. - Integrated By the time you click the 'finish' button on the installer, the whole stack will be integrated, configured and ready to go. - Relocatable BitNami Stacks can be installed in any directory. This allows you to have multiple instances of the same stack, without them interfering with each other. 3. COMPONENTS BitNami Weblate Stack ships with the following: - Weblate 1.3 - Apache 2.2.23 - Django 1.4.5 - Python 2.7.3 - MySQL 5.5.29 4. REQUIREMENTS To install BitNami Weblate Stack you will need: - Intel x86 or compatible processor - Minimum of 256 MB RAM - Minimum of 150 MB hard drive space - TCP/IP protocol support - Compatible operating systems: - An Linux operating system, x86 or x64. - A 32-bit Windows operating system such as Windows 2000, XP, Vista or Windows Server 2003. - An OS X x86 operating system. 4. INSTALLATION The BitNami Weblate Stack is distributed as a binary executable installer. It can be downloaded from: http://bitnami.org/stacks/ The downloaded file will be named something similar to: bitnami-weblate-1.3-2-linux-installer.run on Linux or bitnami-weblate-1.3-2-linux-x64-installer.run on Linux 64 bit or bitnami-weblate-1.3-2-windows-installer.exe on Windows or bitnami-weblate-1.3-2-osx-x86-installer.dmg on OS X x86. On Linux, you will need to give it executable permissions: chmod 755 bitnami-weblate-1.3-2-linux.run To begin the installation process, double-click on that file, and you will be greeted by the 'Welcome' screen. The next screen is the Installation Folder, where you can select where BitNami stack will be installed. If the destination directory does not exist, it will be created as part of the installation. The next screen will prompt you for data necessary to create the initial admin user: Username and password: You will use this information to log-in into the administrative interface. The password you provide here will also be used to protect other parts of the installation. Please see the section named "Usernames and Passwords" later in this document. Email address: Your email address. The next screen will vary, depending on whether the ports needed by the bundled Apache and Subversion are already taken or not. The default listening port for Apache is 8080 on Linux and 80 on Windows and for MySQL is 3306. If those ports are already in use by other applications, you will be prompted for alternate ports to use. Hostname: The hostname for your Weblate instance, such as www.example.com. This information will be used by Weblate for the links in email notifications. Once the information has been entered, the installation will proceed to copy the files to the target installation directory and configure the different components. One this process has been completed, you will see the 'Installation Finished' page. You can choose to launch BitNami Weblate Stack at this point. If you do so, your default web browser will open and display the Welcome page for the BitNami Weblate Stack. If you received an error message during installation, please refer to the Troubleshooting section. The rest of this guide assumes that you installed BitNami Weblate Stack in /home/user/weblate-1.3-2 on Linux or C:\Program Files\BitNami Weblate Stack on Windows or /Applications/weblate-1.3-2 on OS X and that you use port 8080 for Apache on Linux and port 80 on Windows and 3306 for MySQL. 5. STARTING AND STOPPING BITNAMI WEBLATE STACK To start/stop/restart application on Linux and OSX you can use the included ctlscript.sh utility, as shown below: ./ctlscript.sh (start|stop|restart) ./ctlscript.sh (start|stop|restart) mysql ./ctlscript.sh (start|stop|restart) apache start - start the service(s) stop - stop the service(s) restart - restart or start the service(s) You can start and stop BitNami Weblate Stack on Windows using the shortcuts created in the Start Menu, under Programs -> BitNami -> BitNami Service The BitNami Application Manager is a simple graphical interface included in the stacks that can start and stop the BitNami servers. It is are located in the same installation directory. To start the utility, double click the file named ‘control’ from your file browser. That will start Apache and MySQL services. Once started, you can open your browser and access the following URL on Linux or OS X: http://127.0.0.1:8080/weblate And you can access the following URL on Windows: http://127.0.0.1/weblate If you selected an alternate port during installation, for example 18080, the URL will look like: http://127.0.0.1:18080/weblate If you are accessing the machine remotely, you will need to replace 127.0.0.1 with the appropriate IP address or hostname. 6. DIRECTORY STRUCTURE The installation process will create several subfolders under the main installation directory: apache2/: Apache Web server. apps/django/: Django application folder conf/: Django Apache configuration files scripts: Django mod_wsgi configuration files apps/weblate/: Weblate application folder conf/: Weblate Apache configuration files mysql/: MySQL database. projects/: Django projects folder (in case you want them here). python/: Python. 7. DEFAULT USERNAMES AND PASSWORDS The Weblate administrative user and password are the ones you set at installation time. MySQL admin user is called 'root', and its password is the same as the Weblate administrative user password. The default MySQL non-root account used to access the database is named bitnami, and its password is a random value generated during the installation. 8. TROUBLESHOOTING This version of the BitNami Weblate stack is a preview version, and as such, may contain a number of bugs and be a little bit rough around the edges. We are working on the next release, which will contain several improvements along with expanded documentation. In addition to the resources provided below, we encourage you to post your questions and suggestions at: http://answers.bitnami.org/ You can also find updated information in http://wiki.bitnami.org We also encourage you to sign up for our newsletter, which we'll use to announce new releases and new stacks.

This is likely due to an incomplete or corrupt downloaded file" The installer binary is not complete, likely because the file was not downloaded correctly. You will need to download the file and repeat the installation process. # Installer execution error on Linux If you get the following error while trying to run the installer: "Cannot open bitnami-weblate-1.3-2-linux.run: No application suitable for automatic installation is available for handling this kind of file." In some operatings systems you can change permissions with right click properties -> permissions -> execution enable. Or from the command line: $ chmod 755 bitnami-weblate-1.3-2-linux.run 8.2 Apache If you find any problem starting Apache, the first place you should check is the Apache error log file: /home/user/weblate/apache2/logs/error.log on Linux or C:\Program Files\BitNami Weblate Stack\apache2\logs\error.log on Windows or /Applications/weblate-1.3-2/apache2/logs/error.log. Most errors are related to not being able to listen to the default port. Make sure there are no other server programs listening at the same port before trying to start Apache. Some programs, such as Skype, may also use port 80. For issues not covered in this Quick Start guide, please refer to the Apache documentation, which is located at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/ 8.3 MySQL If you encounter any problems starting MySQL, the first place to look in is MySQL documentation, which you will find at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/ # "Can't connect to server" message. Make sure that the MySQL daemon is up and running. Remember also that if during installation you selected a different listening port for MySQL, you may need to pass that as an extra command line option. 8.4 Weblate For any problem related to Weblate, please visit http://weblate.org/en/#support 9.
