+Gitalist is also mirrored to GitHub at L<https://github.com/broquaint/Gitalist>,
+and a number of people have active forks
with branches and/or new features in the master branch.
+=head1 BOOTSTRAPPING
+
+As of C<0.002001> Gitalist can now be bootstrapped to run out of its
+own directory by installing its prerequisites locally with the help of
+L<local::lib>. So instead of installing the prerequisites to the
+system path with CPAN they are installed under the Gitalist directory.
+
+To do this clone Gitalist from the L<Shadowcat repository mentioned
+above|/"GETTING GITALIST"> or grab a snapshot from broquaint's GitHub repository:
+
+ https://github.com/broquaint/Gitalist/downloads
+
+With the source acquired and unpacked run the following from within the
+Gitalist directory:
+
+ perl script/bootstrap.pl
+
+This will install the necessary modules for the build process which in
+turn installs the prerequisites locally.
+
+B<NB:> The relevant bootstrap scripts aren't available in the CPAN dist
+as the bootstrap scripts should not be installed.
+
=head1 INITIAL CONFIGURATION
Gitalist is configured using L<Catalyst::Plugin::Configloader>. The supplied sample
This means that if you check Gitalist out next to your other git checkouts, then starting
the demo server needs no parameters at all:
- Gitalist [master]$ ./script/gitalist_server.pl
+ Gitalist [master]$ perl script/gitalist_server.pl
You can connect to your server at http://localhost:3000
=head2 FOR CPAN INSTALLS
cp `perl -Ilib -MGitalist -e'print Gitalist->path_to("gitalist.conf")'` gitalist.conf
-You can then edit this confg, adding a repo_dir path and customising other settings as desired.
+You can then edit this configuration, adding a C<repo_dir> path and customising
+other settings as desired.
You can then start the Gitalist demo server by setting C<< GITALIST_CONFIG >>. For example:
server.
The recommended deployment method for Gitalist is FastCGI, although Gitalist can also be run
-under mod_perl or as pure perl with L<Catalyst::Engine::PreFork>.
+under L<mod_perl|https://perl.apache.org/> or as pure Perl with L<Catalyst::Engine::PreFork>.
Assuming that you have installed Gitalist's dependencies into a L<local::lib>, and you
are running from a git checkout, adding a trivial FCGI script as C<script/gitalist.fcgi>
(this file is specifically in C<.gitignore> so you can have your own copy):
#!/bin/sh
- export PERL5LIB=/home/t0m/public_html/Gitalist/lib:/home/t0m/perl5/lib/perl5:$PERL5LIB
exec /home/t0m/public_html/Gitalist/script/gitalist_fastcgi.pl
This example can be seen live here:
- http://goatse.co.uk/~bobtfish/Gitalist/script/gitalist.fcgi/
+ http://example.gitalist.com
+
+=head2 FASTCGI
+
+Running Gitalist in FastCGI mode requires a webserver with FastCGI
+support (such as apache with L<mod_fcgi|http://www.fastcgi.com/drupal/node/3>
+or L<mod_fcgid|https://httpd.apache.org/mod_fcgid/>). Below is a sample
+configuration using Apache2 with mod_fcgid in a dynamic configuration
+(as opposed to static or standalone mode). More information on these modes and
+their configuration can be found at L<Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI/"Standalone server mode">.
+
+In Apache's F<mime.conf>, add C<AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi>
+(or C<AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi> for mod_fcgi).
+
+And a quick VirtualHost configuration:
+
+ <VirtualHost *:80>
+ ServerName gitalist.yourdomain.com
+ DocumentRoot /path/to/gitalist.fcgi
+ <Directory "/path/to/gitalist.fcgi">
+ AllowOverride all
+ Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
+ Order allow,deny
+ Allow from all
+ </Directory>
+
+ # Tell Apache this is a FastCGI application
+ <Files gitalist.fcgi>
+ #change the below to fastcgi-script if using mod_fcgi
+ SetHandler fcgid-script
+ </Files>
+ </VirtualHost>
+
+Now to access your Gitalist instance, you'll go to
+C<gitalist.yourdomain.com/gitalist.fcgi/> (B<do not forget that trailing> C</>).
+If you'd like a different URL, of course, you'll likely want to use
+L<mod_rewrite|https://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html> or equivalent.
+
+If you find the need to do some troubleshooting, you can call
+C<http://url_to_gitalist.fcgi?dump_info=1> and/or add export C<GITALIST_DEBUG=1>
+to the top of your F<gitalist.fcgi> file (just below the shebang line).
+
+Also, note that Apache will refuse C<%2F> in Gitalist URLs
+unless configured otherwise. Make sure C<AllowEncodedSlashes On>
+is in your F<httpd.conf> file in order for this to run smoothly.
