Getting started with ALA
by Nicolas Noé 13 Mar '15

Hi all, I wanted to "take some advance" before Paris Workshop to get familiar with the ALA portal on different aspects: installation, theming, customization, data load, ... I successfully built a VM using the ala-install project and the Ansible/Vagrant scripts, and I am able to access the visitor front page from there. Is there any documentation to tell me how to get from there ? Or should I just wait for the Paris Workshop ? Best, Nicolas

errors during the ansible script execution
by Marie-Elise Lecoq 12 Mar '15

Hi all ! I had some issues with my ALA demo portal on my server so I decided to re-install an installation on VM with vagrant and ansible using the last version of ala-install project (from the ALA github). Unfortunately, I had some errors. The first one was about the vagrant user rights. I added "remote_user: vagrant" and "sudo: yes" on the ala-demo.yml file and it fixed it. Then, I have issues with undefined ansible variables (solr_hostname and biocache_service_hostname) on the vagrant file. I resolved those bugs by adding them in the file. Now, I have another fatal error about another missing variable : userdetails_url. The error message is : fatal: [10.1.1.2] => {'msg': "AnsibleUndefinedVariable: One or more undefined variables: 'userdetails_url' is undefined", 'failed': True} fatal: [10.1.1.2] => {'msg': 'One or more items failed.', 'failed': True, 'changed': False, 'results': [{'msg': "AnsibleUndefinedVariable: One or more undefined variables: 'userdetails_url' is undefined", 'failed': True}]} It seems that this variable is needed on the biocache-config.properties. When I searched this variable on the other files, I found that you filled it with "https://auth.ala.org.au/userdetails/userDetails". I guess that it is linked to the authentication system. In my configuration, what kind of data do I have to fill in this field ? Do you have any clue about what I can do in order to skip this error ? If it is linked to the authentication system, I don't need it on our portal (for now). In this case, how can I remove the system ? I'm not sure that my explanation and my questions are clear :-)! Don't hesitate to ask me more information if you need it. In advance, thanks! Best regards, Marie-Elise --
