NAME

XTaTIK::Docs::04_Launch - Launching your first XTaTIK website

WARNING

ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES

XTaTIK uses several environmental variables to figure out what Silos to use to launch an instance of a website. They're as follows:

XTATIK_SITE_ROOT

XTATIK_SITE_ROOT="/var/www/MySite/silo"

This variable specifies the path where your Site Silo is.

XTATIK_COMPANY

XTATIK_COMPANY="/var/www/xtatik-company-silo"

This variable specifies the path where your Company Silo is. Since this variable will be shared among your site launches, you may wish put it into your `.bashrc` or similar file, for it to be always set.

RUNNING XTaTIK IN DEVELOPMENT MODE

To run the core XTaTIK system, without any Company or Site Silos, simply run (#TODO: currently this won't work and will beg for the GeoIP file):

XTaTIK

The development server will now serve on its default port.

If you'd like to see what your Company Silo looks like, simply have XTATIK_COMPANY variable set when you launch XTaTIK:

XTATIK_COMPANY="/var/www/xtatik-company-silo" XTaTIK daemon

Lastly, to launch a site, specify both Company Silo (if you've used one) and Site Silo:

XTATIK_SITE_ROOT="/var/www/MySite/silo" \
XTATIK_COMPANY="/var/www/xtatik-company-silo" XTaTIK daemon

RUNNING XTaTIK IN PRODUCTION MODE

XTaTIK is a Mojolicious application and there are several ways to run it in production mode.

At the moment, please consult https://metacpan.org/pod/Galileo#RUNNING-THE-APPLICATION (use XTaTIK instead of galileo).
