Installation Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
General Instructions for Deployment of a New Release
====================================================
1. In order to fetch a new release of the django datatracker code, simply
check out the appropriate tag from svn::
svn co http://svn.tools.ietf.org/svn/tools/ietfdb/tags/$releasenumber
2. Don't forget to copy $releasenumber/ietf/settings_local.py from the
old release to the new one; otherwise things won't work!
::
cp $oldreleasenumber/ietf/settings_local.py $releasenumber/ietf/
3. Change into the directory of the new release::
cd $releasenumber
It is recommended set up a Python virtual environment
under $releasenumber/env/::
virtualenv env # optional
source env/bin/activate # optional
4. Install requirements (make sure your pip is reasonably fresh first).
The following will install required python modules locally if you
are using a virtualenv, or globally if you are not::
pip install -r requirements.txt
5. Move static files to the appropriate direcrory for serving via CDN::
ietf/manage.py collectstatic
6. Run migrations. Some migrations create files which need to be writeable
by the web servers, so make sure that you're running as wwwrun when
doing this::
sudo su wwwrun -s /bin/bash
source env/bin/activate
ietf/manage.py migrate
^D
7. Run some basic datatracker system checks::
ietf/manage.py check
8. Back out one directory level, then re-point the 'web' symlink::
cd ..
rm ./web
ln -s $releasenumber web
9. Reload apache::
sudo service apache2 reload
10. It's now also a good idea to go to the datatracker front page::
http://datatracker.ietf.org/
and then check that it's alive and kicking, and displaying the new release
number at the bottom of the left-side menubar :-)
11. If things **aren't** cool, revert the symlink step, re-pointing the
symlink to the release that was running before the new release, and restart
apache again to roll back to that.
Installing from Scratch
=======================
In addition to the new release deployment instructions above, the
settings_local.py file has to be set up properly, and Apache has to be
configured. Since the IETF datatracker is only intended to be deployed from
scratch once, these instructions don't cover this scenario in any more detail.
The general Django depoloyment instructions are relevant, however.
Patching a Production Release
=============================
Sometimes it can prove necessary to patch an existing release. The following
process should be used:
1. Code and test the patch on a development system copy of the production
release which has no other code changes (or on trunk, with no uncommitted
code changes, if it's sufficiently close).
2. Produce a patch file, named with date and subject::
~/src/ietfdb/working $ svn diff > 2013-03-25-ballot-calculation.patch
3. Move the patch file to the production server, and place it in
'/a/www/ietf-datatracker/patches/'
4. Make a recursive copy of the production code to a new directory, named
with a patch number. Assuming the production code is in 4.43/, and we
have web -> 4.43/::
/a/www/ietf-datatracker $ rsync -a web/ 4.43.p1/
(you could use 'cp -rp' instead, but rsync seems to do this faster).
5. Apply the patch::
/a/www/ietf-datatracker $ cd 4.43.p1/
/a/www/ietf-datatracker/4.43.p1 $ patch -p0 \
< ../patches/2013-03-25-ballot-calculation.patch
This should not produce any messages about failing to apply any chunks;
if it does, you probably should go back to 1. and figure
out why.
6. Edit ``.../ietf/__init__.py`` in the new patched release to indicate the patch
version in the ``__patch__`` string and current date and time in the ``__date__``
string.
7. Change the 'web' symlink, reload etc. as described in
`General Instructions for Deployment of a New Release`_ .
Additional Version-Specific Instructions
========================================
Version 4.50
------------
Before you run step 3 (migration) of the general instructions, please run some specific
initial migrations with the a --fake argument:
cd $releasenumber
PYTHONPATH=$PWD ietf/manage.py migrate group 0001 --fake
cd ..
Version 4.42
------------
- In order to serve the secretariat tools static pages (such as image, css and js
files) the exceptions to which urls need to be handled by the python-handler
must be updated.
In the datatracker test server, the following configuration has been used to
make apache handle the static files, and Django the dynamic pages. The new
part is the which mentions /secr/. Adapt as needed for ietfa::
----------------
# Logging and document root settings omitted
PythonPath "['/srv/www/ietfdb'] + sys.path"
SetHandler python-program
PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE ietf.settings
PythonDebug On
SetHandler None
# New for secretariat tools:
SetHandler None
AuthType Digest
AuthName "IETF"
AuthUserFile /var/local/loginmgr/digest
AuthGroupFile /var/local/loginmgr/groups
AuthDigestDomain http://tools.ietf.org/
Require valid-user
# Caching and compression settings omitted
----------------
Version 4.40
------------
- (DONE) Add ianasync user with an auth role in the "iana" group and an
rfceditorsync user with an auth role in the "rfceditor" group (don't
think Group(acronym="rfceditor") exists yet); IANA and RFC Editor need
to know the passwords for the poke mechanism
- (DONE) Make sure mailing list for iab-stream@iab.org is up (since we're now
emailing that)
- (DONE) Set rfc_must_published_later_than date in bin/iana-protocols-updates to today
- (DONE) Run the 3 new doc South migrations
- (DONE) New polling scripts, to be run every hour::
web/ietf/bin/iana-changes-updates
web/ietf/bin/iana-protocols-updates
web/ietf/bin/rfc-editor-index-updates (replaces mirror_rfc_index)
web/ietf/bin/rfc-editor-queue-updates (replaces mirror_rfc_queue)
- (DONE) Import old events from IANA::
bin/iana-changes-updates --from="2005-01-01 00:00:00" --to="2013-01-31 00:00:00" --no-email
- (DONE) Pipe IANA review emails to the datatracker. There used to be an action to pipe
such mails to henrik@levkowetz.com, for testing this feature, but I haven't seen
any in a little while, so I don't know if this has broken. Anyway, the iana review
emails should be piped into::
/www/ietf-datatracker/web/ietf/bin/iana-review-email
- (DONE) Tell IANA we're doing this for real now.
Version 4.34
------------
The migration step you do as a part of the release sequence is going to take
quite some time -- probably minutes. It will generate some output while it's
working, too. As long as it doesn't halt and say that something failed or
gave an error, this is as expected, and when it terminates, you should be OK
to continue.
Version 4.21
------------
This release will you to run migrations before moving the link to the new
version and doing the apache reload. I know you have a routine for the steps
needed to deploy a new release by now, but thought I'd mention it, anyway.
If there is any problem at all doing the migrations, then you'll need to
do a fake initial migration, as follows::
web $ PYTHONPATH=PWD ietf/manage.py migrate --fake meeting 0001
and then to the regular migration again.
Version 4.20
------------
Some one-time actions that need to be taken are as follows::
Assuming that the release has been checked out in /a/www/ietf-datatracker/4.20:
cd /a/www/ietf-datatracker/4.20
PYTHONPATH=$PWD ietf/manage.py migrate --fake doc 0001
PYTHONPATH=$PWD ietf/manage.py migrate --fake name 0001
PYTHONPATH=$PWD ietf/manage.py dbshell <<< "delete from django_content_type where app_label='doc'
and model='groupballotpositiondocevent';"
PYTHONPATH=$PWD ietf/manage.py migrate doc || { \
PYTHONPATH=$PWD ietf/manage.py dbshell <<< 'CREATE TABLE `doc_groupballotpositiondocevent`
(`block_comment` longtext NOT NULL, `comment` longtext NOT NULL,
`ad_id` integer NOT NULL, `comment_time` datetime NULL,
`block_comment_time` datetime NULL, `pos_id` varchar(8) NOT NULL DEFAULT "norecord",
`docevent_ptr_id` integer NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY);'
PYTHONPATH=$PWD ietf/manage.py dbshell <<< 'DROP TABLE `doc_ballottype` CASCADE;'
PYTHONPATH=$PWD ietf/manage.py dbshell <<< 'DROP TABLE `doc_ballottype_positions` CASCADE;'
PYTHONPATH=$PWD ietf/manage.py dbshell <<< 'DROP TABLE `doc_ballotdocevent` CASCADE;'
PYTHONPATH=$PWD ietf/manage.py dbshell <<< 'ALTER TABLE `doc_ballotpositiondocevent`
DROP COLUMN `ballot_id` CASCADE;'
}
PYTHONPATH=$PWD ietf/manage.py migrate doc
PYTHONPATH=$PWD ietf/manage.py migrate name
PYTHONPATH=$PWD python ietf/wgcharter/migrate.py | tee -a ~/charter-migration.log
