Hello loyal readers. I’m gonna go through the entire process of creating a tracker using gazelle and teach you as I do it. What’s special is that i will be releasing this site to the public. Articles will be general at first but you will see it slowly shape into a niche vinyl music tracker over the course of the series. A beta will be opening soon and I want to emphasize that articles are coming out as I code. I almost forgot to introduce myself, I’m MFSL. Also, I’m not a coding pro. I will be learning new things as I code just like you :). Now to get started. This article will be all about Configuring your Server and Installing Gazelle.
What you need for this step:
- A Server Running Debian
- SSH Client such as PuTTy
Server Config
-First to install the dependencies. Load up your SSH client and get crackin (I’m using PuTTy)
apt-get install build-essential apache2 php5 libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server libmysqlclient15-dev php5-mysql memcached php5-memcache php5-gd php5-mcrypt subversion automake
apt-get install cmake g++ libboost-date-time-dev libboost-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-regex-dev libboost-serialization-dev make zlib1g-dev
-Changing /var/www/ to /site/
cd /
mkdir site
nano /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default
cd / brings the server to root directory, mkdir site creates a directory called site and the nano command opens up the apache file for editing
**Change this file to**
# Standard http port
NameVirtualHost *:80<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin yourmail@email.com
ServerName yoursite.tldDocumentRoot /site/
<Directory “/site/captcha”>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory><Directory “/site/classes”>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory><Directory “/site/sections”>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory><Directory “/site/torrents”>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory><Files ~ “^\.ht|\.ini|\.inc|\.sql”>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Files></VirtualHost>
and to make the changes take effect:
apache2 -k restart
Getting Gazelle
svn co http://svn.what.cd:81/repos/project_gazelle /site/
svn tells the server that we are connecting to a svn deposit, co means copy, and it copies all the files from the first thing after it to the second. If you can’t get the svn because its currently down then message me and I’ll send you it.
MYSQL Config
mysql -u root
use mysql
update user set password=PASSWORD(”New_Password”) where User=’root’;
flush privileges;
quit;
Gazelle Config
goto http://serverip/install/index.php and fill out all the fields. I’m not going to go through all this info now because it’s mostly just user names and passwords.
Installing XBTT
cd /site/
tar zxfv xbtt.tar.gz
cd xbtt/build/xbtt
./autogen.sh
make
cd srcnano xbt_tracker.conf
edit the “mysql_host =” and “mysql_user =” fields to your mysql host and user. Pretty simple, really.
More MYSQL Config
mysql -u root -pNEWPASSWORD
use databasewhatever_you_defined_in_install_php
select * from xbt_config;update xbt_config set value = ‘Your_Servers_IP’ where value = ‘70.47.114.223′;
update xbt_config set value = ‘Any_Port_You_Want’ where value = ‘34000′;
Final Command
./xbt_tracker xbt_tracker.conf
to run XBTT
Final Thoughts
pretty easy for the first day but it’s just the beginning. If anyone needs clarity I will reply to posts in comments, rude comments will be ignored. I hope to get new articles up every 1 to 2 weeks and pose polls to you readers about what direction YOU want this site to head. Thank for reading and I hope to be back soon.
