Setting up geonode

>> return Cedeus IDE

Fast install text from GeoNode.org Quickstart:

1. Install from PPA in Ubuntu 12.04 -> see http://docs.geonode.org/en/latest/intro/install.html
   • sudo add-apt-repository ppa:geonode/release . Note, if add-apt does not work (command not found) then do first sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
   • sudo apt-get update
   • sudo apt-get install geonode (before I could run this I had do to do sudo apt-get install libtomcat7-java so that Tomcat6 will be removed and then I could install tomcat7 - which was needed to for GeoServer - used by GeoNode)
2. Set the IP address and create a superuser
   • sudo geonode-updateip 127.0.0.1
   • geonode createsuperuser
3. Import data

Read the admin docs and also OSGeo Live DVD Quickstart tutorial

Notes on installing PostGIS

install from source: see: http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/wiki/UsersWikiPostGIS20Ubuntu1204src

• To check if postgres exists, use which psql which should return the path. Then with the path I did /usr/bin/psql --version

to retrieve the version installed.

• So, Postgres 9.1 was installed, but when I executed "psql" I got this: </code>psql: FATAL: role "ssteinig" does not exist</code>
• Hence, I first had to creating my account as a user using sudo -u postgres createuser -s $USER (got this from here).
• Now I could create a db using createdb mygeodb, and connect via commandline with psql -d mygeodb
• Finally I spatially enabled the db with CREATE EXTENSION postgis; and CREATE EXTENSION postgis_topology;
• then add a Postgres/postgis port forwarding rule for port 5432
