Setting Mautic Afloat in the Cloud

For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working with Mautic, the open-source inbound marketing automation tool. Thus far I’ve set up Mautic on:

  1. Cloud 9 development environment
  2. Heroku (unsuccessfully – see below)
  3. Digital Ocean Droplet
  4. GoDaddy Virtual Private Server

With the current version, Mautic dropped support for Postgres, which seems to be the database of choice for Heroku (I set up one of our Epicodus group projects there and had to migrate the database from MySQL to Postgres), and trying to get the app to work with CloudDB and Google SQL weren’t terribly successful. So, no Heroku for you. Or for me.

The Safety Zone

The Safety Zone, an Occupational Health & Safety portal

The Safety Zone assists organizations to comply with occupational health and safety regulatory requirements by providing a single point of interaction and access for EHS (Environmental, Health & Safety) policies, procedures, materials documentation, and incident report management.

Built with Drupal 7, PHP, MySQL, MaterializeCSS, and Adobe Captivate for training content. Created locally with MAMP/WAMP and initially hosted on Pantheon, migrated to a Cloud 9 workspace and deployed on a Digital Ocean Droplet and a Google Cloud Compute Engine Instance.

Hanging a Shingle with WordPress!

I finally did it. After how many false and less-than-true starts, I’m publishing content related to me! A number of these previous iterations had been either standalone HTML/CSS/JS creations or a handful of Drupal 7/8 installs that stalled out. Turns out that good old WordPress seemed to be the fastest way to get posting. Customizations, Material Design revamps, groovy plugins are somewhere down the road, but first things first, content.

These are little notes to myself, filed under “TILT” (Things I Learned Today). I intend to keep ’em coming.

The following links were invaluable in prepping the deployment environment and getting this site up and running in very short order:

  • https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-apache-mysql-php-lamp-stack-on-ubuntu-16-04
  • https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-apache-virtual-hosts-on-ubuntu-16-04
  • https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-use-composer-on-ubuntu-16-04
  • https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-wordpress-on-ubuntu-14-04
  • https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-secure-phpmyadmin-on-ubuntu-12-04

The Composer and phpMyAdmin links aren’t as germane to this particular deployment, but they’re great references for other applications, namely Mautic.

Addendum: in order for pretty paths to work, not only does the .htaccess file have the proper permissions to be written by the server, the Apache .config has to specify AllowOverride All (n00b error of not having the correct path resulted in /headdesk for a goodly while).
