Installation support for Pagodabox about frontend

[garethgreenaway]

If anyone has invites for this, I can start taking a look and documenting it.

2 steps:

add a file named "Boxfile" to your home directory that looks something like this:

web1:
  shared_writable_dirs:
    - /src/configs
    - /src/configs/generated
    - /src/configs/test
  document_root: /src/html
  php_extensions:
    - imagick
    - gmagick
    - gd
    - mcrypt
    - curl
    - mysql
    - pdo_mysql

then added a .htaccess file in src/http that looks something like this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.)?$ index.php?route=/$1 [L,QSA]

works as far as I can tell.

If your interested in giving it a try go to http://openphoto.newpagodabox.com/

@lyondhill, awesome!

The only directory which needs to be writable should be /src/configs/generated. If that's not the case it's something we should have a look at on our side.

Under php_extensions is there an option for oauth (via pecl)?

[lyondhill]

you can include the oauth php extension. Pagodabox put up a gist of the extensions that are installed on there system

Here's what I have so far. It works but you are not able to upload since the source looks to write into the system's temp directory.

This is a populated instance of openphoto.
