Installing Supervisor

Supervisor is a process control system used to ensure that the Laravel Queues used by Elentra are running. You must install and configure Supervisor on any environment running Elentra, but doing the following:

  1. Install the required Supervisor package:

    yum install supervisor
    systemctl enable supervisord
    systemctl start supervisord
  2. Edit the main configuration file at /etc/supervisord.conf and make the following changes to allow control over Supervisor by non-root users. Modify the [unix_http_server] section Set the value of chmod to 0770 in order give access users who are in the same group and then add a new option called chown and set it to the user nobody and group apache. If Apache is not running as the group apache, please substitute this accordingly.

    [unix_http_server]
    file=/var/run/supervisor.sock   ; (the path to the socket file)
    chmod=0770                      ; sockef file mode (default 0700)
    chown=nobody:apache

    Modify the [supervisorctl] section Supervisor must be configured to communicate over a Unix socket.

    [supervisorctl]
    serverurl=unix:///var/run/supervisor.sock ; use a unix:// URL for a unix socket
  3. Add the staging and production users to the apache group.

    usermod -G apache -a production
    usermod -G apache -a staging
  4. Create a new file in the /etc/supervisor.d directory called elentra.ini, and use the following template snippet as a reference to create your own file.

    Please make sure that you have the correct path in command and stdout_logfile, and that user is the correct system account that your existing cron jobs are run as.

    [program:staging]
    process_name=%(program_name)s_%(process_num)02d
    command=php /var/www/vhosts/staging.elentra.med.university.edu/current/www-root/core/library/vendor/elentrapackages/elentra-1x-api/artisan queue:work --queue=high,emails,default,low --env=staging
    autostart=true
    autorestart=true
    user=staging
    numprocs=1
    redirect_stderr=true
    stdout_logfile=/var/www/vhosts/staging.elentra.med.university.edu/storage/logs/worker.log
    
    [program:production]
    process_name=%(program_name)s_%(process_num)02d
    command=php /var/www/vhosts/elentra.med.university.edu/current/www-root/core/library/vendor/elentrapackages/elentra-1x-api/artisan queue:work --queue=high,emails,default,low --env=production
    autostart=true
    autorestart=true
    user=production
    numprocs=1
    redirect_stderr=true
    stdout_logfile=/var/www/vhosts/elentra.med.university.edu/storage/logs/worker.log
    
    [group:elentra]
    programs=staging,production
  5. Restart Supervisor:

    systemctl restart supervisord
