Install Apache, FastCGI and RADOS GW
======================================
.. note: If you deploy Ceph with Chef cookbooks, you may skip this section.
Install Packages
----------------
To install RADOS Gateway, you must install Apache and FastCGI first. ::
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-fastcgi
100-Continue Support
--------------------
The Ceph community provides a slightly optimized version of the ``apache2``
and ``fastcgi`` packages. The material difference is that the Ceph packages are
optimized for the ``100-continue`` HTTP response, where the server determines
if it will accept the request by first evaluating the request header. See `RFC
2616, Section 8`_ for details on ``100-continue``. You can find the Apache and
FastCGI packages modified for Ceph here:
- `Apache Oneiric`_
- `Apache Precise`_
- `FastCGI Oneric`_
- `FastCGI Precise`_
You may also clone Ceph's Apache and FastCGI git repositories::
git clone --recursive https://github.com/ceph/mod_fastcgi.git
git clone --recursive https://github.com/ceph/apache2.git
.. _Apache Oneiric: http://gitbuilder.ceph.com/apache2-deb-oneiric-x86_64-basic/
.. _Apache Precise: http://gitbuilder.ceph.com/apache2-deb-precise-x86_64-basic/
.. _FastCGI Oneric: http://gitbuilder.ceph.com/libapache-mod-fastcgi-deb-oneiric-x86_64-basic/
.. _FastCGI Precise: http://gitbuilder.ceph.com/libapache-mod-fastcgi-deb-precise-x86_64-basic/
.. _RFC 2616, Section 8: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec8.html
.. important: If you do NOT use a modified fastcgi as described above,
you should disable 100-Continue support by adding the following to
your ``ceph.conf``::
rgw print continue = false
Apache Configuration
--------------------
Enable the URL rewrite modules for Apache and FastCGI. For example::
sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo a2enmod fastcgi
By default, the ``/etc/apache2/httpd.conf`` file is blank. Add a line for the
``ServerName`` and provide the fully qualified domain name of the host where
you will install RADOS GW. For example::
ServerName {fqdn}
Restart Apache so that the foregoing changes take effect. ::
sudo service apache2 restart
Then, install RADOS Gateway. For example::
sudo apt-get install radosgw
Enable SSL
----------
Some REST clients use HTTPS by default. So you should consider enabling SSL
for Apache on the server machine. ::
sudo a2enmod ssl
Once you enable SSL, you should generate an SSL certificate. ::
sudo mkdir /etc/apache2/ssl
sudo openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.key -out /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.crt
Then, restart Apache. ::
service apache2 restart
