So I have submitted my first conference talk proposal. PHP|works 2008 is going to be held in Atlanta here again this year. My proposed talk is about implementing the open source fulltext search engine Sphinx in a website. Let’s hope that it gets accepted!

I am going to begin the process of explaining how to setup a PHP frontend to a remote subversion (SVN) working copy. The post today will talk about how to correctly setup apache to work in a multi-user setup.
One of the the nice things about SVN is that it keeps track of who changes what line and what changes they made on that line. SVN bases the username it stores on who committed the file. The trick in getting a PHP frontend to SVN to work correctly is that the user that apache is running as needs to be the user who is performing the commit action. To do this and make it work in a multiple user environment I have setup apache to proxy through requests to a specific URL to another instance of apache running as the needed user. In this setup you will need to have mod_proxy either loaded or compiled into your apache setup.
For example a request sent to http://rswarthout.svn.dummydomain.com would be routed through a proxy in apache to another instance of apache at http://127.0.0.1:8001. This internal address will handle the apache requests and pass it back to the web facing apache server instance.
The apache virtual host config below is for the web facing apache instance:
<VirtualHost 12.34.56.78:80>
ServerName rswarthout.svn.dummydomain.com
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:8001/
ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:8001/
<VirtualHost>
You will need to start a seperate instance of apache and pass it the config file to run. The config file below will start apache and have it listen on IP 127.0.0.1 only on port 8001.
Listen 127.0.0.1:8001
LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phpDocumentRoot “/home/svn.dummydomain.com/public_html”
<Directory “/home/svn.dummydomain.com/public_html”>
Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>User rswarthout
Group rswarthoutDirectoryIndex index.php index.html
php_admin_value include_path “.:/home/svn.dummydomain.com/:/usr/share/pear”
In the above apache config you will see that I am setting the include path for PHP as well in the last line. This is not a requirement but it is good practice to only have files accessible through apache that need to be. To start a seperate instance of apache with the above config run the following command.
/path/to/apache/httpd -f /path/to/above/config/file.conf
That is all for this piece of the puzzle. Next time I will begin to explain the PHP side of the puzzle. When this puzzle is broken up into its smaller pieces it is quite easy to work through.

So it has been 1 year to the day since my last post, too long! A lot has happened in the last year, I will spare you most of the details. Recently I have started working for Schematic in Atlanta and started a used auto sales site, EasyAutoSales.com with some friends. If you are in the market to buy a new/used car/truck/van/bus/motorcycle/carriage you should stop by and check it out. I will try my best to write further posts as we make progress on EasyAutoSales as I am sure I will run across things that would be of help to others.

I just ran across an interesting bug in IE 6 when a page is loading an external javascript file. If Apache is outputting the external javascript compressed (gzip) IE will do one of the following things:
Prior to finding this bug, our apache settings for mod_deflate looked like…
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/css text/xml text/plain application/x-javascript
Now it looks like…
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml text/css text/javascript application/x-javascript
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.[0678] no-gzip
BrowserMatch \bMSIE\s7Â !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html
Making these changes seemed to have fixed the issue. Now when a page is loaded in IE6, any external javascript file will not be gzipped and their page load will be slower. I suppose that is punishment for not upgrading to IE7 or getting Firefox.

On PaperBackSwap and SwapaCD we have some tool-tip rollovers that display a definition of what we define as keywords. (This can be seen in action on http://www.paperbackswap.com/help/hdtw.php. The word “credit” has been highlighted.) It came to our attention the other day that Safari was display anything replaced by JavaScript as $& which was suppose to be the text or “keyword” it found. We have a separate JavaScript file that gets loaded into the page that has the keywords we have definitions for. Well the $& worked for in both IE 6 and 7, Firefox 1.5 and 2 and Opera but not Safari. Simply changing the $& to $1 since I only needed the first thing it found solved the problem. So now when the user clicks one of the links with dashes under it they get the definition of that keyword loaded up from the server with an AJAX call. Yipee now all the browsers are working again…..

So over the last week I have been working on and off with a PHP frontend to SVN. The frontend needed to be designed in such a way that each developer could access their working copies and make the full range of actions against them. I decided to also use an AJAX setup so that pages would be quickly loaded and updated by a single toggle of a folder. The first issue that I had to deal with was when a SVN command was issues it needed to be issued as the owner of the code so that SVN could track edits correctly. After googling around for a bit I quickly realized that there was not a viable Apache MPM that would serve virtual hosts under different users and groups. Then the light bulb flipped on, setup a proxy and redirect requests to developer.dev.domain.com to its own instance of apache running as the user and group ‘developer’. This would ensure that all SVN commands would run as ‘developer’ when executed. I then moved onto setting up the interface. The features that are working at this time are:
A few things that I learned while working with doing the SVN commands was that when executing a command via the php function exec() I need to add the flag –config-dir=$USER_HOME_DIR/.subversion (or where ever the users .subversion folder is located). Also if a command does not seem to be executing correctly you can add “2>&1″ without quotations to the command being run and it will return any error messages through the $ouput variable for exec();

After our latest purchase with Dell, all I can say is that Micheal Dell will be able to buy a nice new watch. Currently in the office we have a stack of new machines that are getting close to being fully configured ready for the move to the data center. If anyone is looking for a collocation facility in the Atlanta, Georgia area I would highly recommend Quality Tech. Quality Tech is the former E-Delta Com and have a really cool data center in Suwanee, which will be the home to our new boxes. We ended up with the following combination of servers:
Filed under: Hardware | No Comments »
After getting our new servers delivered I came to the conclusion very quickly that I would like a way to easily get the same configurations on every box without having to spend the rest of my life doing so. Each box needed to have Apache, MySQL and PHP installed and configured. I decided to write a bash script to do this for me. In the end I am very happy with the way that the script works. It leaves very little work to be done once the script is done running. In the end I have two scripts, one is for a 32bit machine and one is for 64bit machines. Below is the 64bit script. The install will compile PHP with all of the supported modules that we need. The only thing that needs to be done with PHP is the setting the correct config options in the php.ini, this includes putting in APC cache extension.

After searching online for a hour or so I was able to get iptables setup correctly to use a Fedora Core 5 server as a router for an internal network. The following iptable rules is all I needed. I ended making a file and putting these 4 lines into it, then calling the file at system bootup from rc.local.
iptables –flush -t nat
iptables –table nat –append POSTROUTING –out-interface eth0 -j MASQUERADE
iptables –append FORWARD –in-interface eth0 -j ACCEPTecho 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
The above setup does make an assumptions, that all nodes within the network will use static IP address. They all need to have their gateway addresses set to the IP address of the routing server. Now I need to figure out how to get this working with LVS.

Today was just one of those days. After getting all of PHP to compile correctly I thought I was off to the races and nothing could stop me, wrong! The Verisign API for Payflow Pro is not compatible with 64bit systems, at least in a linux environment. After contacting Verisign/Paypal support, start laughing now, they told me that I could post to their pages that are at a special URL. Also they were nice enough to tell me that they would be happy to see the PHP code I came up with to “build your own API.” What morons! It looks as though Paypal is rubbing off on them after all.

This post is meant to be a time saver for anyone else attempting to do a custom compile of PHP 5.2.0 with mysql and mysqli support built in. The systems this setup is being install on are 64bit Pentium machines running Fedora Core 5.
After way too many hours, 30+, of trial and error I found the magic solution, at least in this setup. Basically PHP when doing the configure was looking in the wrong place for the 64bit version of the mysql libraries, mainly libmysqlclient.a. Mysql is installed into /usr/local/mysql and works like a champ. The configure looks for the library in /usr/lib instead of looking in /usr/lib64 as it should considering the –with-libdir=/usr/lib64 was used. To solve this fiasco a simple symbolic link was the answer.
# ln -s /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient.a /usr/lib/mysqlclient.a
After that you should be in good shape for a good compile.

Okay, here we go….
