Deployment

1. Sign in an Amazon Web Service Account, and launch an EC2 Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS instance.
2. In the Ubuntu Server terminal, clone code from repository.

git clone 'https://github.com/holtwashere/CS4320-FinalProject'

Run the following command to install necessary components, and allow all of the installations.

sudo ./deployment.sh

Then complete the following steps

Deploying a flask application is quite tricky. First make sure that you have installed apache2 and mongoDB.

The next step is to install flask:

pip install Flask

Next make a directory called "flask-dev". The content of this directory will be populated with every file in the Source folder on the git repo.

ec2-35-164-234-183.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com

Open the host file:

vim /etc/hosts

Paste this line on top:

127.0.0.1 ec2-35-164-234-183.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com

This will direct the url to run the application that is running on the server

Navigate to:

cd /etc/apache2/sites-available/

Make a file called "myapp.conf"

The content of this file will be:

<virtualhost *:80>
    ServerName ec2-35-164-234-183.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com

    WSGIDaemonProcess webtool user=flask group=www-data threads=5 home=/var/www/flask-dev/
    WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/flask-dev/myapp.wsgi

    <directory /var/www/flask-dev>
        WSGIProcessGroup webtool
        WSGIApplicationGroup %{GLOBAL}
        WSGIScriptReloading On
        Order deny,allow
        Allow from all
    </directory>
</virtualhost>

Enable the virual host:

  sudo a2ensite myapp.conf

Restart Apache:

  sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

The website can be accessed through the default public DNS.
