EL PROYECTO FEDENA

Foradian Technologies es la empresa creadora de un proyecto que ha cambiado la forma en que administramos la educación llamado "El proyecto Fedena". 

Foradian con base en India y formado por un grupo de ocho amigos de la infancia, tiene en sus filas a más de 40,000 instituciones educativas y cerca de 20 millones de estudiantes que actualmente utilizan la plataforma  educativa basada en un concepto open source.

Sin embargo, aun queda la incógnita de ¿Qué es Fedena?. A simple vista muchos pensaran que es una copia de la afamada plataforma académica "Moodle"  pero Fedena se ha ganado a pulso un nombre a través de sus excelentes características como su amigable interfaz gráfica, facilidad de configuración, asombroso soporte, así como la versión móvil que emite alertas y notificaciones de los procesos que se ejecutan en el sistema por otros usuarios. 

Installing Fedena on a shared webserver [Cpanel].

The official fedena installation guide is not fully documented and many people are unhappy. I tried myself to help all those peoples. There are two ways to install fedena . automatic and manually. automatic installation not works everytime , but you can give a try first . Vist

https://www.github.com/passion8/fedena-install/

if it works for you, then its great. Else follow the below manual guide .

Login to your root server and create deployer account with sudo access. And login to that a/c . You can use

sudo adduser deployer sudo adduser deployer sudo su deployer cd ~

Now install the dependency . Copy the below lines and paste in into terminal one by one

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get -y install wget curl build-essential sudo apt-get -y install bison openssl zlib1g clang sudo apt-get -y install libxslt1.1 libssl-dev libxslt1-dev make sudo apt-get -y install libxml2 libffi-dev libyaml-dev sudo apt-get -y install libxslt1-dev autoconf libc6-dev sudo apt-get -y install libreadline6-dev zlib1g-dev sudo apt-get -y install libcurl4-openssl-dev sudo apt-get -y install libtool libcurl4-openssl-dev sudo apt-get -y install libssl-dev apache2-prefork-dev sudo apt-get -y install libapr1-dev libaprutil1-dev make

Now install the sqlite .

sudo apt-get -y install libsqlite3-0 sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev libmysqlclient-dev

Now install image resizing and cropping tool

sudo apt-get -y install libmagickwand-dev imagemagick

Now install git

sudo apt-get -y install git-core

Now install apache2

sudo apt-get -y install apache2

Now install mysql server

sudo apt-get -y install libmysqlclient-dev mysql-server mysql-client

Now install RVM

curl https://raw.github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/master/binscripts/rvm-installer | bash -s stable echo 'source ~/.bashrc' >> ~/.bash_login . ~/.bash_login

Now install the missing dependency. Do

rvm requirements

And, install the missing package(s).

Now install Ruby 1.8.3

rvm install ruby-1.8.7-p371 rvm alias create default ruby-1.8.7-p371 echo '[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"' >> ~/.bashrc source ~/.bashrc

We dont want documentation so do and install the required fedena gems.

echo "gem: --no-ri --no-rdoc" >> ~/.gemrc gem uninstall -i /home/deployer/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-p371@global bundler gem install bundler gem install rails -v 2.3.5 gem install i18n -v 0.4.2 gem install declarative_authorization -v 0.5.1 gem install mysql -v 2.8.1 gem install rake -v 0.8.7 gem install rush -v 0.6.8 gem install passenger

Downgrade the rubygem

gem update --system 1.4.2

Make the production environmenet

echo 'export RAILS_ENV=production' >> ~/.bashrc source ~/.bashrc

Remove the latest rake which is been installed . first check rake version by

gem list rake -d

Now, remove the latest rake verion . In my case it is rake 10.1.1

Notice third line, i have used my version. You have to substitute it your rake version

rm ~/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-p371@global/bin/rake rm ~/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-p371@global/cache -rf rm ~/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-p371@global/gems/rake-10.1.1/ -rf rm ~/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-p371@global/specifications/rake-10.1.1.gemspec -rf rm -rf /home/deployer/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-p371@global/gems/rubygems-bundler-1.4.2 rm -rf /home/deployer/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-p371@global/specifications/rubygems-bundler-1.4.2.gemspec source ~/.bashrc

Now check the rake version by doing rake -v. If it only contains 0.8.7 than move to next step.

Install the fedena and move to the directory

wget http://www.projectfedena.org/download/fedena-github -O fedena.zip sudo apt-get -y install unzip unzip fedena.zip && mv projectfedena-fedena* fedena/ && cd fedena

I wrote one script which will update the fedena database file to your root password.please replace mypassword with your password. so, do

wget https://raw.github.com/passion8/fedena-install/master/ymlwriter.rb ruby ymlwriter.rb mypassword rm ymlwriter.rb

Now , we will run fedena rails command . First create the database.

rake db:create

if it is saying that they were not able to make the database because of server incorrect credentials , then you go to 16 step and start again .

Now its time to install plugins and its associated tables.

rake fedena:plugins:install_all

Make the script executable and then run passenger command .

chmod +x script/* passenger-install-apache2-module

Follow instruction . Usually, we have to edit /etc/apache2/httpd.conf file for popping passenger configuration.
