== Installation

For now, Stop… Camping Time! is in a developing state and not ready for
site-wide deployment yet.

== Usage

Stop… Camping Time! can be deployed directly using the Camping server
(which uses Mongrel, or optionally Webrick).  This is for simple
deployments or for testing purposes.
Easy deployment via Apache is possible using Phusion Passenger, aka
_mod_rails_ or _mod_rack_ (see http://modrails.com).  See below for the
basic instructions.

Note that this application is a valid Rack application (see
http://rack.rubyforge.org/) and can be deployed by anything that supports
them.

=== Camping Server/Mongrel

Simply run from the command line:

  $ camping stoptime.rb

and head over to http://localhost:3301/ to view and use the web
application.

=== Physion Passenger (mod_rails/mod_rack)/Apache

Camping applications are Rack applications.  Deployment follows the
standard way of deploying Rack applications using mod_rack.
Stop… Camping Time! additionally needs to have the +xsendfile+
module installed.

*N.B.* Ensure that Apache can, in both types of setups, write in the +db/+
and +public/+ folder.

==== Deployment on a virtual host

Use the following basic configuration:

  <VirtualHost *:80>
     ServerName some.domain.tld
     DocumentRoot /path/to/stoptime/public
     <Directory /path/to/stoptime/public>
         Allow from all
         Options -MultiViews
     </Directory>

     XSendFile on
  </VirtualHost> 

Now, restart Apache and visit http://some.domain.tld/.

==== Deployment on a sub URI

For deployment on a sub URI, let us assume there is some virtual host
serving files under +/path/to/document_root+, i.e. something like:

  <VirtualHost *:80>
     ServerName some.domain.tld
     DocumentRoot /path/to/document_root
     <Directory /path/to/document_root/
         Allow from all
     </Directory>
  </VirtualHost> 

Then, add a symlink from the +public+ subdirectory of to the document
root, e.g. 

  ln -s /path/to/stoptime/public /path/to/document_root/stoptime

Then, add a +RackBaseURI+ option to the virtual host configuration.
For example:

  <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName some.domain.tld
    ...

    RackBaseUri /stoptime
    <Directory /path/to/document_root/stoptime>
      Options -Multiviews
    </Directory>

    XSendFile on
  </VirtualHost>

Now, restart Apache and visit http://some.domain.tld/stoptime.
