pingpong

Yo so to run this thing hit that clone button then cd until deploy.sh is in your working directory. then run ./deploy.sh init if it is your first time (so database gets created), otherwise run ./deploy.sh

SLACK API Integration

 to get slack to working set the bash env. variable export SLACK_API_TOKEN="<key goes here>"

Useful debugging commands:

1. View apache logs

sudo tail -100 /var/log/apache2/error.log

2. Restart apache

sudo service apache2 restart

I followed this tutorial to get flask up and running on EC2.

Softwares it is hosted at:

http://ec2-54-175-163-132.compute-1.amazonaws.com/

Note: One stupid thing that took forever to figure out, apache uses the www-data user to access the files, and the pingpong.db AND the directory it is in must be owned by www-data. So, when you do ls -la in the ~/pingpong dir, make sure it looks like this:

ubuntu@ip-172-31-16-218:~/pingpong$ ls -la
total 76
drwxrwxr-x 5 www-data ubuntu    4096 Sep 13 09:13 .

Note2: the deploy.sh doesn't really work on the server (setting env variables, etc.) //TODO.
