WSL Support

[ghost]

Presently the site seems to work fine on WSL, with some issues:

1. WSL does not properly support systemctl, so commands like amusewiki start/stop do not work properly.

2. Perhaps this is an issue on my side and not WSL, but amusewiki does not seem to be able to publish, and instead is stuck on the job pending. There's no log file under lib/amusewiki/log/jobs (I'm guessing since it's still 'running'), but if there's a way I can help diagnose the issue I'd be happy to assist.

@Seth1 I have no knowledge about WSL. If amusewiki runs, how was started? How was installed? With the deb I suppose?

If publishing isn't happening, that's an indicator that the jobber isn't running. Try to run it in the foreground:

sudo -u amusewiki -- amusewiki-jobber and see what happens.

[melmothx]

cd /var/lib/amusewiki
sudo -u amusewiki -- amusewiki-jobber

Or you can use the wrapper:

amusewiki jobber (as root, which does the same thing)

"cd /var/lib/amusewiki
sudo -u amusewiki -- amusewiki-jobber"

This fixed the problem with publishing, and now I'm guessing amusewiki is fully functioning on WSL (well save start/stop). I'll be sure to report back if anything else seems off.

"If amusewiki runs, how was started?"
Truthfully I'm not entirely sure, I did do amusewiki restart at one point which seemed to worked.

"How was installed? With the deb I suppose?"
I used Ubuntu on WSL, so yes I just used the same exact instructions on packages.amusewiki.com. The only thing I had to do was start mysql manually ("sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start") to fix this issue:
microsoft/WSL#745
Maybe I also had to start nginx manually, can't quite remember.
