Fedena Web Server
Hi there,
I have fully installed Fedena but everytime I want to access it, I have to run command and type "ruby script/server" so that I can log in to http://localhost:3000/
is there a way I can by pass this?
am new in this, I was just trying it out so a step by step procedure would be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Apuesto
Need to install passenger module for apache
Currently , you are using Webrick webserver. That is why you need to run that script,and is not recommended for production environment.
For configuring it in the right manner , check the conf file in the patch attached above or use this link
http://wiki.basil-kurian.co.cc/index.php/Ruby_on_Rails_Ubuntu
Thanks..help on error :-(
Thanx Basil for the quick response.
Unfortunately for me, am running the installation on a windows computer. And it wsa working well yesterday (windows 7) but now trying to install Fedena on XP am getting this error when trying to create the db (rake db:create)..
C:\Fedena>rake db:create
(in C:/Fedena)
rake aborted!
syntax error on line 0, col 23: `development: host: localhost adapter

port: 3306 username: admin password: production: host: localhos
t adapter: mysql database: fedena port: 3306 username: admin

(See full trace by running task with --trace)
I have sent you an email with the attachments of the database.yml file and the whole installation process to this error...
are you able to help, truly appreciate.
Apuesto
I didn't get any mail
I didn't get any mail ........ may be you need to create an account here .
You may check the patch attached above. See the conf file in that patch
Perhaps try installing TKL-Core-Lucid beta to VM
and then you could use Basil's TKLPatch and you won't have those issues. :) VirtualBox is a good free cross platform one for desktops (but there are others).
If you have a search about here on the forums you should be able to find all the info you need to get you going. If you get lost or can't work something out, let us know and we can help head you in the right direction.
Checking Fedena Patch
Sorry it took so long to give this patch the love it deserves. I looked at the demo as soon as Liraz brought it to my attention, and it looked so comprehensive. I wanted to explore it from the student, administrator, and instructor perspectives; its gradebook capabilities are what'll really give it teeth for me, but I didn't make time to get into it.
I want to dig deep into the patch with the students. We'll have to learn a little about ruby together, or a few lines at least, and it looks like I'm gonna pick up more mysql with them. And if remember right, there's some advanced patching that I recognized from the documentation but have been too hesitant to try.
But I also want to get real into the features of the software with the students. We've had to slow down and review some filesystem navigation fundamentals (I didn't make appropriate time to review); Monday we're getting ready to build our first ESXi compatible (hopefully) system. Then we're diving into the patch, they'll explain to me what the patch does and how, then we'll put it to work. Once they get the features, I expect we'll be sharing it with administrators for evaluation.
It'll be a tough sell; they're using a proprietary java solution from Pearson that is very comprehensive. Everyone seems happy with it - given all the systems I've worked with, I gotta admit pearson's takes it compared to those. We'll see if we can't make a case for Fedena nevertheless. I look forward to learning more about it and your patch.
I apologize for not commenting sooner. I spent the last half of the summer prepping for linux cert, and doing coursework with php and python at the same time so I can see what the students can develop. So many new patches!
Fedena Patch a success so far
I've just patched Lucid core successfully with the Fedena patch, and it went off without a hitch (stuff I don't yet understand aside). I'm now waiting for the security updates on first run in a VM...and went to confconsole without any objections. And logged in with admin account with absolute success. My next steps will be to create student, parent, teacher accounts and see if I can't get a committee to evaluate the actual application (not the patch, naturally - it's finessed beautifully). If my colleagues cooperate, I'll be able to contribute likely use scenarios, anticipate what schools will benefit most from this tool, etc. In the meantime, the students are gonna examine the patch and make meaning from some of the lines of the script that are up to this point unfamiliar to them. I will learn along with them, naturally. From what I see, this patch is an absolute success. The application itself looks very comprehensive. I look forward to working with this more.
Thanks for this contribution.
Thanks a lot for testing the
Thanks a lot for testing the patch :)
Took a while...
But I got to it. Absolute pleasure to work with it. Really looking forward to learning how you accomplished some of this.

Your Patch helped me solve some db issues i had and am now enjoying playing around fedena on turn key linux rails. Cant wait for the new release of Fedena as an ISO.
Soon will be introducing it to schools in Nairobi Kenya before rolling it out to schools all over the country.
Still learning more about it. and am more niterested on how i can access the same installation over the internet from a different location. Someone give me ideas please.

Passenger 3.0
Hello Basil,
Fedena is really an awesome app. I liked its UI and it is really simple. Just need to get over the terms.
I had gone through your patch and it seems you are using passenger 2.2. As Passenger 3.0 is released now, i hope the Turnkey ISO would have Passenger 3.0. Also, you could have used nginx instead of apache. Well, the performance would have increased to an extent.
Waiting for the ISO release,
Sam
I 'll try Passenger 3.0
I 'll try Passenger 3.0, when i get some time. Now I' m very busy with one project in office . Thanks for your suggestion. I'm not sure about nGinx, let me try :)
Installation on RHEL 6
hi, Basil ,, i have facing problem on Rhel OS .. could u provide any Document for Fedena Installation on Rhel6...
thanks
MySQL scaling
and Basil,
I guess Turnkey linux has some problems with DHCP as of now. I hope all the bugs would also be fixed in the coming Fedena ISO.
Sam
FYI DHCP bug is fixed
And new Lucid beta release of the current range of TKL appliances should be out soon (including Core). ISO betas of the new appliances (including Fedena I expect) should be out soon after.
Deploying Fedena
Thanks Basil for having Fedena too. Pardon me but how can I deploy TKL with Fedena? Can you also release a howto on how to deploy Fedena on TKL?
Wish you also release OpenEMM too. :)
Thanks a lot,
Raleigh
see this link
http://www.turnkeylinux.org/docs/tklpatch/apply
The Official ISO will be relased soon . I will try OpenEMM , when i get some time.
Fedena on Cpanel Hosting Platform
Please can anyone help with the necessary steps to take in installing Fedena on Cpanel hosting platform. i use mochahost.com to be specific.
I've confirmed that i have Ruby on Rails and Ruby Gems available.
Anyone please advice.
Thanks
Regards
Tolu
I suggest you contact the Fedena community
We (the TKL community) are not officially involved with Fedena so contacting them is your best bet. I assume they have a support forum of some sort.
Please contact the fedena forum
Hi Tolu ,

Fedena
Hi, guys
Downloaded and installed Fedena on ubuntu maverick, I can access Fedena from http://myiaddress:3000, enter the admin uname & pswrd: then a blank screen appears, after i refresh the page several times it then opens on the dashboard. if i try to access one of the other menu options (users/finance) it goes back to a blank screen. on the LAN it is VERY slow.
Any suggestions, thanks in advance
Fedena on the LAN it is VERY slow.
Now after installation when you run script/server , you may find it slow on localhost as well as on the network , to fasten up fedena on ubuntu use the following commands
/var/www/abhinav$ sudo apt-get install mongrel
/var/www/abhinav$ mongrel_rails start --environment=production
& after installation please use the same command to restart fedena server.
Student Cards
Hi, is there anyone that knows if Fedena or of any other software that is able to print student cards

Installation of Fedena
Please, I would like to know how to install Fedena into a Hosting. I have a hosting Site and I know that I have to make some step to make it work. Example: I saved all structure of Fedena into a FTP dedicated Folder, www.cursos.evisionconsultoria.com.br but I need to know what else I have to do in order to access the system thru internet. Can you help me?
Have you tried their forums?
As I mentioned above, the best place for support for Fedena is their forums. No one here knows anything much about it and Basil isn't very active here now days.

Customizing reports
Hi I like Fedena and still testing it out. However, I would like to see some specific customized reports on the system which are currently not there. Is it possible to customize them.
Try the Fedena community
Read threads above.
Customizing reports
Yes you can customize the reports. For that you need a ror developer to do that.

Installation Help
I have a shared hosting and my provided says he does not support ruby rails. Will it be possible for me to install Fedena without ruby rails.
I doubt it...
Because AFAIK Fedena is written in Ruby for the Ruby on Rails framework (aka Rails). So it's like trying to drive a car with no wheels...
But to get a definitive answer I'd get in touch with the Fedena community.

Fedena Pro
Hi, actually its safer not to deploy Fedena on a shared hosting server. And if you are interested in Fedena Pro at a very reduced and minimized cost which will eliminate the stress of installation and hosting cost. You get almost all the features of Fedena Pro including installation and hosting. Please contact me: zionoye@gmail.com
