Errors

Revision 4 as of 2012-09-04 10:54:21

This page should get you up and running with your own branch of lp:errors, the code that powers the web view of the Ubuntu Error Tracker, https://errors.ubuntu.com.

Setting up Postgres for caching OAuth credentials

TODO

Creating OAuth tokens for use with Launchpad

curl --dump-header - -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -X POST --data 'oauth_consumer_key=testing&oauth_signature_method=PLAINTEXT&oauth_signature=%26' https://qastaging.launchpad.net/+request-token

That will return something like:

oauth_token=OAuthTokenHex&oauth_token_secret=OAuthTokenSecretHex

Then authorize it:

https://qastaging.launchpad.net/+authorize-token?oauth_token=OAuthTokenHex

Then accept it:

curl --dump-header - -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -X POST --data 'oauth_consumer_key=testing&oauth_token=OAuthTokenHex&oauth_signature_method=PLAINTEXT&oauth_signature=%26OAuthTokenSecretHex' https://qastaging.launchpad.net/+access-token

Which returns:

oauth_token=NewOAuthTokenHex&oauth_token_secret=NewOAuthTokenSecretHex&lp.context=None

Then put the values for oauth_token ('NewOAuthTokenHex') and oauth_token_secret ('NewOAuthTokenSecretHex') in local_config.py in your branch of lp:daisy you create in the steps below.

Setting up your environment

This assumes that you keep your bzr branches in ~/bzr. Adapt to suit your needs.

Create a branch of daisy for its configuration: bzr branch lp:daisy ~/bzr/daisy. Copy ~/bzr/daisy/configuration.py to ~/bzr/daisy/local_config.py. Put the values you obtained for oauth_token and oauth_token_secret in the steps above. Put in the values for the postgres database you created in the steps above.

Create ~/bzr/errors.your-branch-name/. Then run bzr branch lp:errors ~/bzr/errors.your-branch-name/errors.

Next, copy the sample configuration in place: sudo cp ~/bzr/errors.your-branch-name/errors/000-default /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default. Modify this to point at your branch:

<VirtualHost *:80>
     DocumentRoot /home/you/bzr/errors.your-branch-name/errors
    WSGIDaemonProcess localhost python-path=/home/you/bzr/errors.your-branch-name:/home/you/bzr

        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log

        # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
        # alert, emerg.
        LogLevel warn

        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
