Installing Pier on Ubuntu

Installing Pier on Ubuntu Organic Design procedure

Simple Setup of a Pier Image on a Webserver

• Download Pier-2.0-OneClick.zip from http://www.piercms.com/download
• Unzip into any directory, but probably /var/www/domains/Pier.app for an OD install
• Change ownership to www-data:

chown -R www-data:www-data Pier.app

• Edit /etc/rc.local and add the following BASH script just before exit 0 (note you will need to change paths if you unzipped into a directory other than /var/www/domains)

#!/bin/bash
# settings
USER="www-data"
VM="/var/www/domains/Pier.app/Contents/Linux/squeakvm"
VM_PARAMS="-mmap 256m -vm-sound-null -vm-display-null"
IMAGE="/var/www/domains/Pier.app/Contents/Resources/Pier.image"
# start the vm
exec \
setuidgid "$USER" \
"$VM" $VM_PARAMS "$IMAGE"

• Restart
• Navigate to http://yourdomain:8080
