allccountjs

2015-07-24 10:52PM -- 7/27 Ver 07

Summary: This is a node.js, mongodb, angular, express, based full stack javascript framework for creating web apps.
Category:
RAD -- Rapid App Develeopment

Purpose: Install on Windows my 'redek' computer to test this out.

See https://github.com/dgleba/toptal-community-allcount for the code.

Install these software

node.js mongodb git

C:\n\01software\mongodb-win32-x86_64-2008plus-ssl-3.0.4-signed.msi
C:\n\01software\node-v0.12.7-x64.msi
C:\Users\dg\Downloads\Git-1.9.5-preview20150319.exe

---

mkdir toptal-community-allcount  
cd toptal-community-allcount  
npm install allcountjs  

cd C:\n\nodeprj\toptal-community-allcount

mkdir toptal-community-repo
cd toptal-community-repo

---

Create main.js in

C:\n\nodeprj\toptal-community-allcount\toptal-community-repo

---

start mongodb

C:\p2\MongoDB\Server\3.0\bin\mongod.exe --dbpath C:\n\nodeprj\mongodata

ref:

http://blog.ajduke.in/2013/04/10/install-setup-and-start-mongodb-on-windows/

---

start the app

cd ..
which is...

cd C:\n\nodeprj\toptal-community-allcount

"C:\n\nodeprj\toptal-community-allcount\node_modules.bin\allcountjs.cmd" --git toptal-community-repo --db mongodb://localhost:27017/toptal-community

---

http://localhost:9080/

visit this address and sign in with admin admin.

works!

---

import data

cd C:\n\nodeprj\toptal-community-allcount

run:

npm install xml2js
npm install request
npm install q
npm install moment

The following parts show steps I took that were not what was in the article -- I misunderstood.

Wrong:

create
C:\n\nodeprj\toptal-community-allcount\toptal-community-repo\toptal-community.js

start app again as before.

wrong:

"C:\n\nodeprj\toptal-community-allcount\node_modules.bin\allcountjs.cmd" --git toptal-community-repo --db mongodb://localhost:27017/toptal-community

got error:

This is system is fantastic!!!!

I am getting an error with the import feature.

C:\n\nodeprj\toptal-community-allcount\node_modules\allcountjs\node_modules\q\q.
js:126
throw e;
      ^
Error: toptal-community.js:1
var request = require('request');
              ^
ReferenceError: require is not defined
at toptal-community.js:1:15

The app starts and works before I add the toptal-community.js file. The file to add the import feature.

I am new to js frameworks.
Can someone help?

Answer:

ref: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/allcountjs/9C5A2qrrdHQ/rJxJ1e22jb0J

toptal-community.js was in wrong folder.

create
C:\n\nodeprj\toptal-community-allcount\toptal-community.js

edit main.js to call the import feature.

Start the app with:

cd C:\n\nodeprj\toptal-community-allcount  
node toptal-community.js

Works!

---

Add cards feature per article.

create events.js

edit main.js to call that view.

Works!

---

This is a great system!!

New.ampp.server.stack

New ampp server stack

2015-07-08Wed06.02-AM - 2015-07-12 rev 9

---

5. The current way

Use xampp or pre-made stack. I figure it is a stack tested by users actually using it.

Definitions:

Ampp: apache mysql php python [python for us... some use perl]

Stack: a collection of software in a usable combination resulting in a web site/app.

---

10. Compiler Issue

Windows amp software binaries are compiled with a variety of microsoft compiler versions denoted by vc9 vc10 vc11 etc.

If the versions of each binary don't match well a software binary like php, python, etc. may not run properly.

---

15. Python binaries, compilers, and others

Python seems to be vc9 or vc10

Apache and PHP are moving on to vc11 and vc14 for later versions. They are dropping vc9 / vc10.

This is creating a situation where it is harder to find binaries that all work together.

ref:
..
need to find web references to this.

---

20. Needs / Wants

It would be nice to have a newer ampp stack with the software we want.

I looked at ampps, xampp, and others.

see gsheet:

30. Manually installed stack - DAMP

I Manually installed a stack - Let's call it - DAMP by David Gleba

It has many packages in c:\p2\damp and others in c:\p2\python34 and Mysql in c:\Program Files because Mysql allows no other path using the installer.

Some of it is portable in the sense that the damp folder can simply be copied to another computer. Then use installers to install python, mysql, and filezilla FTP server.

Damp req'ts:

These are decisions made. Just follow them and many things will just work with on further setup or configuration.

• must be in c:\p2\damp

• doc root must be in c:\p2\damp\htdocs

• use installer for mysql, it goes in c:\Program Files

• use installer for python, it goes in c:\p2\python34
• use installer for filezilla FTP server, it goes in c:\p2\damp\filezillaFTPserver

Notes on how I installed it are here:

Question posted

I asked the question: Is this setup reliable?

90. How to test that it all works reliably?

50. unpack and install

• create .gitignore and create git repo to track edits I make to the settings.

I am following this: http://superuser.com/questions/748117/how-to-manually-install-apache-php-and-mysql-on-windows

• I unpack apache into c:\p2\damp\apache
• run httpd.exe from command prompt
• need msvcr100.dll -- install 2012 vcredist x86
• set paths in httpd.conf
• win10: no error but httpd just sits there. localhost will not work.
• win10: didn't get firewall request to add httpd to the allowed list.
• win7: asked to add to firewall. it works.
  
• copy php.ini-'dev' to php.ini
  
• enable php in httpd.conf
• test it. it works.
• apache and php are working.
• This will print a text file of the last 1 changes. >>> git format-patch -1 head --stdout > patch5630a.txt

Install apache as a service.

C:\p2\damp\apache\bin\httpd.exe -k install

C:\Windows\system32>C:\p2\damp\apache\bin\httpd.exe -k install Installing the 'Apache2.4' service The 'Apache2.4' service is successfully installed. Testing httpd.conf....

Mysql

From: C:\p2\damp\,this,\mysql-installer-community-5.6.25.0.msi

• install mysql. it would only go in program files. No other choice was offered.
• I installed win64, 64bit.
• (next time do this later) made user dg417 passwd
• root
• done. ok.

55. Phpmyadmin:

https://wiki.phpmyadmin.net/pma/Quick_Install

cd phpMyAdmin mkdir config # create directory for saving http://localhost/phpMyAdmin/setup/ ## run setup

had to edit php.ini for mbstring ext. lots of edits. see git commit

Testing my 'prodrpt' app

"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin\mysql.exe" --user=root -p -e "create database prodrptdb";
"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin\mysql.exe" --user=root -p prodrptdb < C:\p2\damp\htdocs\2test\prodrpt\documents\bkups\prodrptexp.sql

Set default collation in mysql.
This didn't do it: SET NAMES 'utf8';
The following worked. It's in my.ini

David Gleba set default collation...

collationserver=utf8unicode_ci
charactersetserver=utf8

Try this next time:

CREATE USER 'dg417'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '**';
CREATE USER 'dg417'@'%';
GRANT USAGE ON . TO 'dg417'@'localhost' ;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON prodrptdb. TO 'dg417'@'%';

60. Install python mod_wsgi module

C:\p2\Python34\

install wsgi module, w32 vc10 ap24 py34.
edit httpd.conf
install python 3.4 w32

cd C:\p2\Python34\Scripts
pip install Django
django get-pip.py
pip install Django

Successfully installed django-1.8.2

pip install django-admin-bootstrapped

Successfully installed django-admin-bootstrapped-2.5.2

I got error on trakberry app but the other two apps work.

Request Method: GET
Request URL: http://localhost:8986/trakberry/admin/
Django Version: 1.8.2
Exception Type: ImportError
Exception Value:
No module named 'views'

90. Summary

Working - per my basic testing by starting them up in a web page: Apache, mysql, php, python, django, xataface, codeigniter, yii, 2015-07-01Wed18.49-PM
I think the damp folder is portable. Install mysql and python using the installers. Everything except for mysql and python are in the c:\p2\damp folder.
files used:

httpd-2.4.12-win32-vc10(apache).zip
modwsgi-4.4.12-ap24-py34-VC10-w32.so
Graham Dumpleton's modwsgi-windows-4.4.12.tar.gz
mysql-installer-community-5.6.25.0,win32-and-win64.msi
php-5.5.26-Win32-VC11-x86.zip
phpMyAdmin-4.4.10-english.zip
python-3.4.3.msi (w32, all python windows is vc10 )
vcredist_x86-2012update4.exe

100. Question

I manually installed apache, python, modwsgi, mysql and php. I matched the compiler version -VC10, for python, apache, and modwsgi. I couldn't find a VC10 binary for PHP 5.5 so I used vc11. Mysql is the 64bit community binary.
Everything seems to be working OK.
Will the combination of vc10/11 compiler and 32/64 bit versions I used work ok, or will it lead to problems? Is there a way to test it other than just using it?

Windows	version	bits	vc
Apache	2.4.12	w32	vc10
Python	3.4.3	w32	vc10
MySQL	5.6.24	w64	?
PHP	5.5.26	w32	vc11

More detailed notes of my installation are at: http://davidgleba.blogspot.ca/2015/07/apache-install-2015-06-28-2md.html

Note: made the installation on st-dgleba machine. 2015-07-01.

105.

I added filezilla server. 2015-07-07 May be best to install over top using installer when installing this on another machine. It will install the service.

Create extended label and icon files: checked took over 50 min to make it.

• This worked. it boots and allows me to install windows.
• I had to let lenovo startup routine happen.
• It wants to repair the computer.
• Then select advanced options.
• Boot from efi usb device.
• Install windows.

Problem

I discovered that the computer will not shut down properly. the screen goes black the keyboard light is on, and the fans are running. it just sits there like that.

I installed most of the drivers on the lenovo site. Still won't shutdown.
