Running php 5.4 on openshift was never easier

Sgoettschkes/openshift-php54

This is a sample repository to get php 5.4 running on openshift. It's a work in progress!

What's inside

The misc/install.sh script installs:

• Apache 2.4.3
• PHP 5.4.7

It configures apache to have the diy folder as the document root. It also uses the php.ini-development from the php archive and moves it into the correct folder.

The script does not remove the source files, so you can easily recompile Apache or PHP. Have a look at the shell script to see with which options both were compiled the first time.

The misc/httpconf.py script takes the httpd.conf from misc/templates and replaces some variables with the actual folder pathes (because these depend on the application, they cannot be hardcoded). It then copies the file into the apache conf folder.

Usage

To get PHP 5.4 working at OpenShift, you have to do the following:

1. Create a new Openshift "Do-It-Yourself" application
2. Clone this repository
3. Add a new remote "openshift" (You can find the URL to your git repository on the Openshift application page)
4. Run git push --force "openshift" master:master
5. SSH into your gear
6. nohup $OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR/misc/install.sh > $OPENSHIFT_DIY_LOG_DIR/install.log
7. Wait (This may take at least an hour)
8. Open http://appname-namespace.rhcloud.com/phpinfo.php to verify running apache
9. You can remove the misc content
