However, the push towards more Agile development methods, adoption of DevOps practices and Continuous Delivery capabilities is including database development in its embrace the last 10 years or so has seen a lot of work towards aligning database development with application development best practices. Very often the danger associated with potential bad changes being deployed makes DBAs very protective of their territories and resistant to changing tried and true methods. You will probably want to go ahead and configure the repository by running “fossil ui” from the fossil directory, which will log you in as the administrator.Managing database schema changes can be a non-trivial task. Once you realise how explicit you must be, it works very well. Setting up Lighttpd with Fossil through CGI is surprising fiddly, as you must property setup all the directories. Test out your new setup, by running the TestMode batch file, and going to the URL, you should see the following: We need to actually create the rep.fossil file. Place the fossil.exe in c:/fossil/ directory, open a command prompt, and go to the directory. In this instance, I have the binary file in c:/fossil/, along with my rep.fossil repository file. But you still need to specify where the binary is. On my setup, I have made available the Fossil.exe file as an environment variable, so that I can run it from anywhere. As you probably already know, it is completely stand alone. Fossilĭownload the appropriate Fossil.exe binary file from here. In this instance I am keeping my fossil repository in c:/fossil, with the script file for fossil in htdocs of the lighttpd directory. The request for rep.fossil, will go to the repository test.fossil, which can be placed anywhere. I have called this script file “rep.fossil”, and it’s contents are simply: We need to create this file, which is a script file that the fossil binary will understand. fossil file will pass the fossil file into fossil.exe, and return the request. We will add our own Ĭgi.assign = (".fossil", => "c:/fossil/fossil.exe",) We need to define what request gets forwarded to where. With the WLMP Project distribution, the following section comes commented out: Once this is enabled, we then need to assign what sort of file request gets handled by the Fossil binary. If you are using the WLMP Project distribution, this already comes commented out, but may not even be listed if you acquired it another way. Enable this by removing the comment marker # for CGI: Secondly, we need to enable mod_cgi in the lighttpd config file. Server.document-root = "c:/program files/lighttpd/htdocs"Ĭhange your document root to the appropriate location. Unfortunately there is no support for FastCGI at present.įirst of all, we need to say where the document root is as a full path for this to work properly with Fossil and CGI. Most of the configuration for this distribution of lighttpd exists in conf/nf.įossil needs to run behind CGI, and is apparently fast enough to handle a lot of requests when running in this setup. By default, lighttpd binds to port 80, and this will need to be free before it will run properly, and will in most cases provided you have no other web servers installed. Once downloaded, and either unzipped or installed, you can test the server by running the batch file “TestMode” in the root of the lighttpd directory. The WLMP Project distributes the binaries for lighttpd for you to download, and can be downloaded here. Lighttpdįirst you will need to download lighttpd for windows. Here’s how to set it up Fossil with lighttpd in windows running as a service. This is not a breeze with git in windows, but fortunately, it is much easier with Fossil. Nevertheless, I find sometimes I need to setup a central repository for me and everyone else to push to and pull from. Although, any workflow git can pull of, so can fossil. Git is still much preferable for large scale mass projects, such as large projects hosted on github. It’s very suitable for a lot of smaller workflows. I am just really enjoying Fossil SCM with various small projects I have been using it with.
