Setting Up MediaGoblin

This is a very quick and dirty post to document my basic MediaGoblin setup. Realize my snapshot of the software is from early September (is in serious need of updating!). This certainly does not represent anything close to MediaGoblin best practice, but I hope it will be useful.

I'm running on Debian Wheezy with Apache2. Here are the critical config files:

• /etc/
  • init.d/
    • mediagoblin-celeryd
    • mediagoblin-paster
  • apache2/
    • sites-available/
      • media
• /srv/
  • mediagoblin/
    • mediagoblin local.ini
    • paste local.ini
    • mg.txt (NOTE: fix the shebang, rename to mg.fcgi)

Yes, this python virtualenv thing is wonky. I tried to root MediaGoblin at URI underneath / (e.g. info9.net/media/) without success (MediaGoblin really wants a virtual host, thus media.info9.net/). I hope to post an update when I've refreshed my MediaGoblin install!
