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.

INSTALLATION The Bitnami Spree Stack is distributed as a binary executable installer. It can be downloaded from: https://bitnami.com/stacks/ The downloaded file will be named something similar to: bitnami-spree-2.4.2-1-linux-installer.run on Linux or bitnami-spree-2.4.2-1-linux-x64-installer.run on Linux 64 bit or bitnami-spree-2.4.2-1-windows-installer.exe on Windows or bitnami-spree-2.4.2-1-osx-x86-installer.dmg on OS X x86. On Linux, you will need to give it executable permissions: chmod 755 bitnami-spree-2.4.2-1-linux-installer.run To begin the installation process, invoke from a shell or double-click on the file you have downloaded, and you will be greeted by the 'Welcome' screen. You will be asked to choose the installation folder. If the destination directory does not exist, it will be created as part of the installation. The default listening port for Apache is 8080, for MySQL is 3006 and for Mongrel cluster are 3001 and 3002. If those ports are already in use by other applications, you will be prompted for alternate ports to use. Once the installation process has been completed, you will see the 'Installation Finished' page. You can choose to launch Bitnami Spree Stack at this point. If you do so, your default web browser will point you to the Bitnami local site. If you receive an error message during installation, please refer to the Troubleshooting section. The rest of this guide assumes that you installed Bitnami Spree Stack in /home/user/spree-2.4.2-1 on Linux or /Application/spree-2.4.2-1 on OS X or C:\Program Files\Bitnami Spree Stack on Windows and use port 8080 for Apache on Unix systems or 80 on Windows, 3306 for MySQL and 3001 and 3002 for Mongrel cluster. 6. STARTING AND STOPPING BITNAMI SPREE STACK To enter to Spree you can point your browser to http://127.0.0.1:8080/ on Unix systems or http://127.0.0.1/ on Windows. To start/stop/restart application on Linux 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 ./ctlscript.sh (start|stop|restart) spree start - start the service(s) stop - stop the service(s) restart - restart or start the service(s) You can start and stop Bitnami Spree Stack on Windows using the shortcuts created in the Start Menu, under Programs -> Bitnami -> Bitnami Service That will start Apache, Spree and MySQL services. Once started, you can open your browser and access the following URL: http://127.0.0.1:8080/ on Unix systems or http://127.0.0.1/ on Windows. If you selected an alternate port during installation, for example 18080, the URL will look like: http://127.0.0.1:18080/ 7. DIRECTORY STRUCTURE The installation process will create several subfolders under the main installation directory: apache2/: Apache Web server. mysql/: MySQL Database. ruby/: Ruby files. common/: Common libraries. licenses/: Licenses files. scripts/: Script with enviromnent vars. spree/: Spree files. 8. DEFAULT USERNAMES AND PASSWORDS The Spree administrative user and password are the ones you set at installation time. MySQL admin user is called 'root', and its password is also one you set at installation time. The default non-root account used to access the database is named bitnami, and its password is also bitnami. 9. TROUBLESHOOTING This version of the Bitnami Spree 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: https://community.bitnami.com/ We also encourage you to sign up for our newsletter, which we'll use to announce new releases and new stacks. To do so, just register at: https://bitnami.com/newsletter. 9.1 Installer # Installer Payload Error If you get the following error while trying to run the installer from the command line: "Installer payload initialization failed. 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-spree-2.4.2-1-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-spree-2.4.2-1-linux.run 9.2 Apache If you find any problem starting Apache, the first place you should check is the Apache error log file: /home/user/spree-2.4.2-1/apache2/logs/error.log on Linux or /Applications/spree-2.4.2-1/apache2/error.log on OS X or C:\Program Files\Bitnami Spree Stack\apache2\logs\error.log on Windows. 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/ 9.3 MySQL If you encounter any problems starting MySQL, the first place to look in is the "Problems and Common Errors" section of the MySQL manual, which you will find at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/ The following are some common problems: # Access denied when trying to connect to MySQL. If you get an Access Denied message while trying to connect to MySQL, make sure you are using the correct username and password. # "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. 9.5 Spree For any problem related to Spree, please visit http://www.rousette.org.uk/projects 10.
