Cannot load custom routes in Phalcon PHP - php

Until yesterday my Phalcon PHP application was running perfectly on PROD and today is working only on DEV and LOCAL environments... and I don't have a clue what is going on there! The codebase is exactly the same on all environments, the configs and the routes are correct as well.
For example, if I want to get to a custom defined route, like "/my-custom-route", it always gives me the error message "MyCustomRouteController handler class cannot be loaded". But the rest routes are working fine, like "/contacts" which comes from ContactsController.
As an additional information, "/my-custom-route" has been implemented through ToolsController and gearAction().
The problem appears only on PROD! On DEV and LOCAL there are no such issues which is super strange... The LIVE server is Debian with Apache. DEV server is the same (Debian/Apache), and LOCAL has Ubuntu/Apache installed. All versions are the latest ones - Phalcon Framework (3.4.5), Apache (2.4.41), PHP7 (7.0.33), MariaDB (10.1.43).
Does anyone have an idea where might be the issue?

My first guess would be a case sensitive issue. But since you're running Debian on dev as well don't think this is the issue.
Not sure what changes are done but maybe you're looking at a file being cached by opcache?

Problem solved! Turns out that it was a configuration issue. I use values from an INI file where env, site_url, api_url are defined and the site_url was set without 'www.' which caused the custom URLs to be unavailable.

Laravel 7 404 Error with Route with more than 2 Levels

I'm facing a wired issue with Laravel where routes with multiple parameters (both mandatory/optional) aren't working.
Environment Information
Local: Windows, XAMPP, PHP 7.3
Production: Ubuntu 18.04, PHP 7.4
Initially, I suspected issue with .htaccess file but that seems not to be an issue.
This works perfectly on my Local, but for some reason, that doesn't work on Ubuntu Server.
The following code works perfectly.
Route::any('route/me/','Tst#routeme');
However, any of the following doesn't work:
Route::any('route/me/here/','Tst#routeme');
Route::any('route/me/here/{id?}','Tst#routeme');
Route::any('route/me/here/and/here','Tst#routeme');
Any suggestions where I can look up to fix this out, please?
My first suggestion would be to place the route with most params at the top like:
Route::any('route/me/here/and/here','Tst#routeme');
Route::any('route/me/here/{id?}','Tst#routeme');
Route::any('route/me/here/','Tst#routeme');
It's more like which ever route matches first gets executed first so from top to bottom the least param route matches last.
Second thing i would suggest you to group the routes like:
Route::prefix('route/me')->group(function () {
Route::get('here/and/here', 'Tst#routeme');
Route::get('here/{id?}', 'Tst#routeme');
Route::get('here', 'Tst#routeme');
});
for better readability...
I can't give you specifics on why this particular scenario is happening but, matching your development and production environments should elimate these problems in future.
Homestead Docs
The Homestead vagrant box provided by the Laravel team is a solid choice and well documented. It is an Ubuntu 18.04 / 20.04 machine and can be configured with many add-ons. You can easily configure which version of PHP any given project is using with a single line in the Homestead.yaml file.
Docker Docs
Docker is a little more advanced but very flexible in how it can be configured. It's container design allows you to isolate the dependencies of one project from the next.
These aren't that difficult to setup (easily done within a day or two) and allow you to replicate your production environments almost perfectly.
It will help massively in those "but it works on my machine" moments!
updating my own question so that might be of some help for others.
I would say probably this is the last thing that someone (or at least me) failed to check. I tried to list the routes in my server and found my newly added route was not found.
php artisan route:list
Earlier, I cleared cache, restarted apache but didn't help. Finally found the following commands to be a lifesaver when routes are cache & aren't working.
So the thing that worked for me - clearing the "route" cache.
php artisan route:cache
php artisan route:clear

Laravel 4.2 .env.production.php not included

I have a strange issue with my Laravel 4.2 app.
I have two servers with DirectAdmin installed on both of them.
I use .env.testing.php on one, and .env.production.php on the second one.
First (testing) works fine, but on the second one the .env.production.php isnt handled at all.
I made a simple test and added echo 'test'; in the file on both servers - and on production nothing happend and as I expected on testing 'test' word was displayed on the screen.
I'll be glad for any tips, sollutions - anything than might help with this.
And, yes the server is recognised as production one, yes I tried to use putenv and getenv to see if it is doing its job - both works fine.
And no I have no idea why it's not working :/
Note: You may create a file for each environment supported by your application. For example, the development environment will load the .env.development.php file if it exists. However, the production environment always uses the .env.php file.

Codeigniter Rest Server denies just one request

TL;DR
I get a 404 (Not Found) error on calling an API method (api/auth/authenticated~GET). I only get this on my live-server, not on local and not on any other methods.
The Problem
I use Codeigniter with a Rest-Server library. I have a simple method api/auth/authenticated(GET) that returns true if the user is logged in and false if not. On the live-server this method gives me a 404 (Not Found) error. Other calls to the same api class work, for example api/auth/login(POST) works and api/auth/logout(GET) works as well.
so how is this possible?
I have tried to delete the .htaccess file, but that didn't work. It can't be a typo since it works locally. Maybe some setting in Apache? But then why do the other methods work just fine?
I would be grateful for any ideas and hints.
my app
CodeIgniter 3.0.3
CodeIgniter Rest Server
AngularJs 1.5 with ngResource for client-side
my server env
digital ocean droplet
Ubuntu 14.04
PHP 5.6.15
Apache 2.4.7
The worst problems are always the most stupid ones ...
There should be a list on my desk.
1. Check for typos (very important but was not the problem here)
Now if we are working on Windows or OSX and everything works fine and then some parts just don't work on Linux this one is very important:
2. Check filenames for case-sensitivity problems (also check the GIT config)
The Problem was still a bit harder to find. I use Git to push my live-deploybranch to my remote repository, which is then picked up by Deploybot and uploaded to my server. Git doesn't care about case sensitivity on default and files will stay like they were first added forever. Thanks to this post i could just type one command to change it.
git config core.ignorecase false

Missing Controller Error on remote server using Beta 3

I've been working on a project on my local machine (running OS X with Cake server) using CakePHP 3 Beta. Sometimes I copy this project to a remove test server (running Ubuntu with Apache).
Last time I copied all the files to the remote server, Beta 2 was the newest version, and the site was running just fine on both machines.
When Beta 3 came out, I updated my local project and continued working on it on the local machine without running into any issues.
Today I copied the whole project to the test server, just as it is on my machine (adjusting database configurations, of course), but something weird is happening this time:
When I access URLs like http://www.example.com/controller/action I get a Missing Controller error, as can be seen in the screenshot below:
I've been following the conventions as seen on the documentation, so my controller is the class UsersController inside the file UsersController.php
But if I access http://www.example.com/Users/action, for example, it just works.
Keep in mind that the exact same files work on my local machine using lowercase URLs, so it isn't just some typo or misplaced file.
This happens for all my controllers.
Should I now follow the naming conventions the error page suggests me and user lower case first letters on all my controllers?
Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
If you need any other information, feel free to ask.
Thanks for helping me out!
Best regards,
Daniel
You are missing appropriate inflecting routes that would turn users into Users in order to match the filename UsersController.php, this is evident from looking at the error message which says usersContoller is missing.
It works on your local machine as the default OS X filesystem is by default case-insensitive, unlike the one in Ubuntu, which is case-sensitive.
In case you have updated the core lately the RouteBuilder::fallback() call that is present in the app routes by default may be missing the InflectedRoute argument, which wasn't necessary before.

So, check your routes, and update your app template if necessary.

WindowsAzure: Develop on deployed PHP Files

I work a lot with the WindowsAzure4E(clipse) IDE. And it's always pain to wait for the local test deployment)
Isn't there a way to develop on the deployed PHP files which must be stored somewhere to inetput or something else?
thx for your ideas.
Yes! In fact, I just got this working myself yesterday.
After installing PHP 5.3 with CGI support for IIS (making the necessary php.ini modifications of course), I simply created a new site in IIS that mapped to a role in the workspace for my Eclipse project.
Keep in mind that there's one hiccup to this and that is that the php_azure.dll file, used to access the service configuration and mount azure drives, was built to run in the azure fabric (either development or hosted). In my case, I don't NEED these features so I removed referrences to things like getconfig and poof the project loads in IIS just fine. I only need to make sure I start Azure Storage prior to launching the application.
I've been told that some folks are able to update their systems path environment variable with the location of the azure diagnostics dll (diagnostics.dll) and have it work without this modification. But this route didn't work for me. :(
I'll actually be blogging on this more this weekend as it took me a week of evenings to get things sorted out.
I found out that after the deployment the project files are copied to the folder ServiceDefinition.csx.
When you now edit the source code in this place, you can see the changes directly, without another deployment.
