Mup deployment onto Apache server with virtualhost

[dkouvdis]

Hi.

I struggled to deploy my app onto my DO site. I have an apache with virtualhost setup

The mup setup works just fine but couldnt do mup deploy

The error message was quite limited so I couldnt debug much but I couldnt get this path correct
eg: "app": "/var/www/test.example.com"

When I did this just to test
"app": "."
It manages to deploy just fine but it is not in my desired folder. Not sure what to do

“app” is the local path to your meteor app on your local developer system. Not the remote path on your server!

Okay, make sense. "app": "." was correct then.

So whats the next step?
I assume creating a site-enabled file to point my subdomain to this folder
/opt/<appName>/app

Another question, I would like to host the mongo db on the same server. I have troubling figuring out how to generate or find the MONGO_URL?

Somewhat similar post if you guys are interested:

Can you allow php file to run in your public folder

That's not sufficient for running php. You need to also have a php capable server like nginx or apache installed so that you can use that server's configuration options to selectively run php and meteor (node) from the same codebase. I'd still say it would be wise to keep php and meteor as separate apps, perhaps running behind a proxy.

I think this is somewhat out of context.

[serkandurusoy]

Context being the common discussion around instructions on deploying with mup on a server where (possibly) apache is the front end web server, hence the “somewhat similar” prompt.

Will give it a go and give a update
