How to configure your Kete site.

Important Note: This step assumes that you are logged in as the user who will be running your Kete. For demos and development this is likely your normal account, for production this might be the "kete" account if you have followed the conventions laid forth in the last step.

Configure your Kete site

Open the site up in your browser and will be prompted for the default administrator account login and password. These are "admin" and "test". Then follow the directions on the site for configuring your new Kete.

As a part of the configuration process you'll be asked to restart your server.

To do this for an application installed following the "Simple Installation" instructions, simply restart your Mongrel Cluster from your_app's directory:

$ cd ~/apps/your_app
$ mongrel_rails cluster::restart
$ script/backgroundrb start # this is needed for supporting imports and digest emails to moderators

(add "RAILS_ENV=production" to the start of "script/backgroundrb start" if you want to run your site in production mode (there is a bug in background where the environment set in backgroundrb.yml isn't respected yet)


Then you should be good to continue your configuration.

However, If you are using Capistrano to deploy your application, all you need to do is the following from your development host:

$ cd ~/apps/your_app
$ cap deploy:restart # you'll be prompted for password of your "kete" user on the production host if necessary, backgroundrb is started automatically
