Server

Running a local server

Clone the server and [change the api key] (https://github.com/tchx84/turtleblocksjs-server/blob/master/settings.py#L26) to your TurtleJS key.

Linux:

Install apache and turtleblocksjs.
Setup a link to /var/www/html

sudo apt-get install apache2
cd /var/www
sudo ln -s /home/path/to/app/ html

OSX(10.10+):

Apache 2.2 is already installed at /etc/apache2
Setup a link to /Library/WebServer/Documents

cd /Library/WebServer/
sudo ln -s /home/path/to/app/ Documents

Linux:

Then, enable the 'proxy' modules in apache.

cd /etc/apache2/mods-enabled 
sudo ln -s ../mods-available/proxy* . 
sudo ln -s ../mods-available/xml2enc.load .
sudo ln -s ../mods-available/slotmem_* .

Remove the alias module.

sudo unlink alias.conf
sudo unlink alias.load

OSX(10.10+):

Enable Proxy modules and disable alias module as in linux version. Main Config with module configurations is located in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

Apache TurtleJS Config

Linux:

• Copy the code below into /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/turtlejs.conf

OSX(10.10+):

• Copy the code below into /private/etc/apache2/other/turtlejs.conf
• If the turtlejs.conf is not loaded and is not working then add the line /private/etc/apache2/other/turtlejs.conf in httpd.conf
• In the code below change the document root to /Library/WebServer/Documents

<VirtualHost *:80 *:443>
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html

    ProxyPreserveHost On
    ProxyPass /server http://127.0.0.1:3000
    ProxyPassReverse /server http://127.0.0.1:3000

    <Location /server>
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Location>

</Virtualhost>

Then, restart apache.

Linux:

sudo service apache2 restart

OSX(10.10+):

sudo apachectl start / sudo apachectl restart

Now, you need to run the TurtleJS server.

cd /home/path/to/server/ 
./server.py

If everything is ok in your browser you should able to access to

localhost

and see TurtleJS instance.
