Missing Webapp button Amahi 7

[lancaster71]

Hello, I am trying to make a new webapp and cant find it under the apps tab. I have advanced settings enabled and it doesn't seem to make a difference.

Known issue.
https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1070

It's on the list to be worked, but no estimate yet as to when it will be released. Possibly in Amahi 7.2 but no guarantee.

Ah okay, thanks. I just want to host a website, any other way to do thiswith amahi?

It could be done manually. We have not documented the steps yet.

If all you want it to host a web site, Amahi may be a bit of an overkill. There are tutorials at http://www.howtoforge.netthat will guide you through building a basic web server.

We will try to get something documented in the wiki soon as a workaround.

Okay cool. But I do use amahi for other stuff. Would the webserver done manually interfere with the app I am hosting, or vice versa?

The web server would have to be a different machine or VM. Amahi has a built in web server, which is why you need the feature that is present in Amahi 6.

It is possible to do manually, but like I said it's a bit of work. We don't have it documented yet, but when we do it should be easy to follow.

Alrighty, thanks again for your help.

Looks like I have a work around for this feature. It will require all command line input, but does work. I am in the process of putting it in the wiki.

Once it's complete, I will post the URL.

Here you go. First draft in the wiki.

Hey Bigfoot65:

Just a minor corrections for part of your instructions on the wiki.

Where you setup the directories, I think the instructions can be simplified a little from this:

Code: Select all

mkdir -p /var/hda/web-apps/appname mkdir -p /var/hda/web-apps/appname/html mkdir -p /var/hda/web-apps/appname/logs chown -R apache:users /var/hda/web-apps/appname chown -R apache:users /var/hda/web-apps/appname/html touch /var/hda/web-apps/appname/logs/access_log touch /var/hda/web-apps/appname/logs/error_log chown -R /var/hda/web-apps/appname/logs/access_log chown -R /var/hda/web-apps/appname/logs/error_log​

To this:

Code: Select all

mkdir -p /var/hda/web-apps/appname/html mkdir -p /var/hda/web-apps/appname/logs chown -R apache:users /var/hda/web-apps/appname touch /var/hda/web-apps/appname/logs/access_log touch /var/hda/web-apps/appname/logs/error_log chown apache:users /var/hda/web-apps/appname/logs/access_log chown apache:users /var/hda/web-apps/appname/logs/error_log​

Thanks
