~/var/canvas$ sudo gem install bundler --version 1.7.11 ~/var/canvas$ bundle install --path vendor/bundle --without=sqlite mysql
Download default config files from Amazon instance
~/var/canvas$ for config in amazon_s3 database \ delayed_jobs domain file_store outgoing_mail security external_migration do cp config/$config.yml.example config/$config.yml; done
Configuration
database.yml
~/var/canvas$ cp ./config/database.yml.example ./config/database.yml ~/var/canvas$ vi config/database.yml
Under Production
- edit the database name (if different from default)default=canvas_production & canvas_queue_production
- host (if different from default) default=localhost
- username for database user (if different from default) default=canvas
- password for database user
- In my instance, nothing was changed except the password.
production: adapter: postgresql encoding: utf8 database: canvas_production host: localhost username: canvas password: password timeout: 5000 queue: adapter: postgresql encoding: utf8 database: canvas_queue_production host: localhost username: canvas password: password timeout: 5000
outgoing_mail.yml
~/var/canvas$ cp ./config/outgoing_mail.yml.example ./config/outgoing_mail.yml ~/var/canvas$ vi config/outgoing_mail.yml

Database Population
~/var/canvas$ RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:initial_setup
You will be asked the following questions:
What email address will the site administrator account use? > Please confirm > What password will the site administrator use? > Please confirm > What do you want users to see as the account name? This should probably be the name of your organization. >
To help our developers better serve you, Instructure would like to collect some usage data about your Canvas installation. You can change this setting at any time.: 1. Opt in 2. Only send anonymized data 3. Opt out completely >
File Generation
~/var/canvas$ sudo mkdir -p log tmp/pids public/assets public/stylesheets/compiled ~/var/canvas$ sudo touch Gemfile.lock ~/var/canvas$ npm install ~/var/canvas$ RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake canvas:compile_assets
Ownership limitations
I did this with www-data as this user exists by default with Apache installtions on Ubuntu.
Verify www-data exists:
~/var/canvas$ awk -F':' '{ print$1}' /etc/passwd ... www-data ...
Limit read access
~/var/canvas$ sudo chown -R www-data config/environment.rb log tmp public/assets public/stylesheets/compiled Gemfile.lock config.ru ~/var/canvas$ sudo chown www-data ./config/*.yml ~/var/canvas$ sudo chmod 400 ./config/*.yml
