# Alternative Install Options
Here lie some alternative installation options for Discourse. They're not the
recommended way of doing things, hence they're a bit out of the way.
Oh, and dragons. Lots of dragons.
## Web Server Alternative: apache2
If you instead want to use apache2 to serve the static pages:
# Run these commands as your normal login (e.g. "michael")
# If you don't have apache2 yet
sudo apt-get install apache2
# Edit your site details in a new apache2 config file
sudo vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/your-domain.com
# Put these info inside and change accordingly
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName your-domain.com
ServerAlias www.your-domain.com
DocumentRoot /srv/www/apps/discourse/public
<Directory /srv/www/apps/discourse/public>
AllowOverride all
Options -MultiViews
</Directory>
# Custom log file locations
ErrorLog /srv/www/apps/discourse/log/error.log
CustomLog /srv/www/apps/discourse/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
# Install the Passenger Phusion gem and run the install
gem install passenger
passenger-install-apache2-module
# Next, we "create" a new apache2 module, passenger
sudo vim /etc/apache2/mods-available/passenger.load
# Inside paste (change the user accodingly)
LoadModule passenger_module /home/YOUR-USER/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p0/gems/passenger-4.0.2/libout/apache2/mod_passenger.so
# Now the passenger module configuration
sudo vim /etc/apache2/mods-available/passenger.conf
# Inside, paste (change the user accodingly)
PassengerRoot /home/YOUR-USER/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p0/gems/passenger-4.0.2
PassengerDefaultRuby /home/YOUR-USER/.rvm/wrappers/ruby-2.0.0-p0/ruby
# Now activate them all
sudo a2ensite your-domain.com
sudo a2enmod passenger
sudo service apache2 reload
sudo service apache2 restart
If you get any errors starting or reloading apache, please check the paths above - Ruby 2.0 should be there if you are using RVM, but it could get tricky.
## RVM Alternative: Systemwide installation
Taken from http://rvm.io/, the commands below installs RVM and users in the 'rvm' group have access to modify state:
# Run these commands as your normal login (e.g. "michael") \curl -s -S -L https://get.rvm.io | sudo bash -s stable
sudo adduser $USER rvm
newgrp rvm
. /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh
rvm requirements
# Build and install ruby
rvm install 2.0.0
gem install bundler
When creating the `discourse` user, add him/her/it to the RVM group:
# Run these commands as your normal login (e.g. "michael")
sudo adduser discourse rvm
RVM will be located in `/usr/local/rvm` directory instead of `/home/discourse/.rvm`, so update the crontab line respectively.
