I'm in a trouble trying to install phpBB on openshift.
I have created a php5.3 cartridge with PostgreSQL: I unpack phpbb on a folder of my app, I push the change, then I run the installation form the browser.
The forum installation is successful.
In the end I need to delete the "install" folder in order to enable the forum.
I tried it on my standalone wampp server and it works.
So I delete it in my repo, and I commit and push the change.
When the app restarts it automatically tries to go back to the installation: everything is broken.
It seems the push breaks the configuration on the server side.
I also have tried to change the name of the directory using ssh connection, and move the install directory name: this is uneffective.
What's the problem here?
The problem is that if you deploy the phpBB package as downloaded from official website app the files will go on app-deployments with are not persistent on git changes and can not be pull to local. You can try using the OpenShift quickdeply version of phpBB (https://github.com/openshift-quickstart/phpbb-example) that deploys the files to app-root/data (I think :S) and this reamins untouched on git changes.
The "install" folder is at app-root/runtime/repo/php

Has anyone here been able to install Snipe-IT (Open source asset management: https://snipe-it.readme.io/docs) on Azure Web Apps?
I know it is possible to install it on an Azure VM, since I've done that, but I would prefer it to be on a Web App so we keep everything simple and slightly more secure.
I have been able to download it from GitHub, and it then says that the document root is incorrect (It has to be \wwwroot\public instead of \wwwroot). So, I go ahead and change the document root to the public, but then the page returns a 500 error. I see that I need to install Composer, so I install the extension for that, but nothing changes. I know the document root works correctly because I am able to place a test file in the public directory and it works fine. It is just the actual Snipe-IT install that gets screwed up.
Here's how I did it:
Run the command composer install under \wwwroot folder to install dependencies.
Change the document root by setting the virtual application path for the web app.
Edit the Snipe-IT configuration file (.env file) to configure the database credentials, app key and so on.
Restart the app service.
Finally, It worked for me.
I have not every used, or even installed the Zend Framework.
I have inherited a website built in the ZF and only have FTP access to the deployed version that is live.
Is it possible to simply download the files that are live and run then locally within XAMPP, as i have tried this but ther server has lots of short cut director mappings and no ZEND?
I am assuming not, so can i install Zend and then download the site to my local machine for it then to work?
Any assistance on this would be helpful as have no idea about it, whether i need source files or not.
Thanks

once you have the project downloaded in xampp. make sure you have composer installed and configured.
delete the vendor folder inside your project then run
composer install
under the root of your application.
I'm still really new to Git version control and Laravel. But I have gotten so far, and I'm not sure now where I am going wrong.
I set up VirtualBox and Vagrant on my local windows machine and installed homestead successfully. I have managed to get my Laravel website (it's only one page at the moment as I learn things) working correctly, it displays the header and the footer and the images load and everything. So that's all good.
So now, I have my Laravel website set up within my virtual vagrant server. On this server, the directory for my website is:
/home/vagrant/Code/sites/public_html
No when I cd to that directory, I ran the following:
git init
get remote add origin https://user#repo/user/publichtml.git
git add *
git commit -m "Initial Commit"
git push -u origin master
(I've substituted user#repo instead of the real URL)
All went through successfully. Great. So now on my live server I ran the following:
cd /home/sites/public_html
git init
git clone https://user#repo/user/publichtml.git
Which again, worked fine. It downloaded all the files into the public_html directory which is great. So then I go to visit the website and this is what I get:
The only explanation for this happening is maybe I need to install something on the server before I clone these files to it. I guess the files in the Laravel folder won't run by themselves? Do I need to install composer and laravel on the server or something? If so, how do I do that, and why don't they run on their own?
I cannot see a .htaccess or index.php in the root directory so I am not sure how it runs anyway.
You should install Laravel using composer instead.
composer create-project laravel/laravel mysite
You should also point the document root on your web server to laravels "/public" folder, making the framework code reside outside of the document root. That's good for security (no one can access any framework code, like your configs etc directly).
You will then find the .htaccess-file in the /public folder.
Please read the Laravel documentation about the different but recommended ways to install Laravel.
Btw, doesn't homestead use Nginx instead of Apache? In that case, .htaccess isn't even used. Please refer to the Laravel documentation again regarding homestead.
You need to redirect traffic to public/index.php instructions for this are webserver dependent.
Is it possible to install symfony and all it's components on a server without internet connection?
I hope that I can download the required files and copy and install on the server.
I intend to create an application to run on the intranet of the company. I'm already using XAMPP and the PHP version is 5.3.8.
Thanks
Of course you can install symfony on a server with no internet connection. What you would need to do is have your project up and running with all the vendors already installed and then you would copy the project into your network share.
In other words:
Go to a computer with an internet connection
Run composer install so it will download all necessary dependencies
Copy the project to the machine with no internet access.
Make sure to clean your cache folder on the server (i.e rm -rf app/cache/{prod,dev,test})
And everything should be working just fine. I've done this in multiple cases when composer was not available on a shared hosting, which is pretty much the same as "not having internet". :)
No more cowboy coding! I'm trying to develop on my local machine, but I'm no Ubuntu expert!
I've got it to the point where when I browse to "localhost" in my browser, it pulls up my Wordpress install and runs the site. It's trying to update, and showing this prompt:
So it's trying to run FTP as what? I'm new to Ubuntu, on my shared Bluehost server space Wordpress has no trouble FTPing out. How do I configure this on my local Ubuntu machine so that Wordpress can update. It's a fresh Ubuntu install from ISO disk. Do I need to configure FTP somehow? This is probably a very basic question - I think I'm looking for a few shell commands as the answer.
Here is a way in which you can disable the FTP Credentials for installing Plugins and Themes from backend
Just Add the following Code in wp-config.php
define('FS_METHOD','direct');
