Re: Quercus and Google App Engine

Stuckinrealtime — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 19:11:53 +1300

I just started trying to get silverstripe 2.4.5 working under Quercus after a few tweaks with url rewriting and how urls are passed to silverstripe the only problem seems to be how some of the statics are returned from Object::get_static which prevents forms and full database builds from working.

I did need to add the following code to sapphire to get things to even begin to load

sapphire/core/Core.php to correct a problem with interfaces not being loaded or found

// load interfaces manually for some reason they are being missed by the manifest builder and autoload
$_interface_list = array(
'core/i18nEntityProvider.php' ,
'core/model/CurrentPageIdentifier.php' ,
'core/control/NestedController.php',
'core/model/DataObjectInterface.php',
'core/model/HiddenClass.php',
'core/model/fieldtypes/CompositeDBField.php',
'security/PermissionProvider.php'
);
foreach($_interface_list as $_interface_class) {
require_once($_interface_class);
}

sapphire/main.php to get the stuff from my custom rewrite rules in. I added it before the IIS check

if(isset($_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE']) && (strpos($_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'],'Apache PHP Quercus') !== false)) {
$_quercus_url = $_quercus_request->getAttribute('SS_URL');
$_quercus_qs = $_quercus_request->getAttribute('SS_QS');
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = $_quercus_url;
$url = $_quercus_url;
if (!empty($_quercus_qs)) {
parse_str($_quercus_qs,$_GET);
if ($_GET) $_REQUEST = array_merge((array)$_REQUEST, (array)$_GET);
}

}

I was wondering if anybody else has done any work in this area.

It is correct. The function is deprecated, however unfortunately the patch has been put off for the SSViewer rewrite in SS3.
You basically have to just suppress the warning, the function still works.

Hi,

I'm hosting SilverStripe 2.4.5 with HostPapa running PHP 5.3.8.

I get the following error when running dev/build or ?flush=all:

Deprecated: Function ereg_replace() is deprecated in /home/.../public_html/sapphire/core/ManifestBuilder.php on line 310

Hostpapa has suggested I modify the file permissions within Cpanel. I'm not sure what to update.. any help is appreciated.

Note: I also had some initial hosting problems which were resolved by setting the server requirements to match http://www.silverstripe.org/system-requirements/

Orange Business Service = Bad

Mauve — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 04:06:03 +1300

For some reasons, I'm trying to install silverstripe on a shared host from orange business service in France.

And it's a bumpy road.

The service is as basic as can be : 5Gb static storage, 20Mb mysql DB, ftp access only.

Installing itself is eventless. Ftp the silverstripe tree, run php installer and it's set.

Almost. Because once you're there, you can't log into the CMS without adding ?isDev=1 to the url, you can't upload pictures (well, you can upload them actually, but you won't see them), and certainly other oddities I haven't spotted yet.

[edit]I dug into this a bit, and I solved the behavior I had by chmod'ing js files in assets/_combined to 666 ; this solved the admin access issue.[/edit]

I've read countless docs, and I think the main issue is files are owned by the ftp account (uid ftp, gid ftp) while apache certainly runs under its own uid/gid. When you want to create folders or upload files to the cms, they end up with rwxr_x___ attributes (0750), and when you want to access them from the site, you get a 403 forbidden error.

So far, I managed to sloppily hack this issue - nearly. I modified saphire/filesystem/Folder.php addUploadToFolder function circa line 249 like this :

...
if (move_uploaded_file($tmpFile['tmp_name'], "$base/$file$ext")) {
//
$oldumask = umask(0);
chmod("$base/$file$ext", Filesystem::$file_create_mask);
umask($oldumask);
//
// Update with the new image
return $this->constructChild(basename($file . $ext));
} else {
...

and Filesystem.php (line 26) like this :

static function makeFolder($folder) {
if(!file_exists($base = dirname($folder))) self::makeFolder($base);
if(!file_exists($folder)) {
$oldumask = umask(0);
mkdir($folder, Filesystem::$folder_create_mask);
umask($oldumask);
}
}

...

It sort of works ; folders are created with 775 rights, but files end up with a weird rwx-rwS-r_x permission set. As there is little risk someone will upload executable files, this works enough for me.

Does anyone have better clues on how to install silverstripe on this kind of config ?

Cheers,

Hardcoding config for cloudcontrol.com

Is there documentation on hardcoding the config values for Silverstripe? I use cloudcontrol.com which requires hardcoding your config values (it's also a great test bed), it just has no writable file system. I'm going through the install.php file but just want to make sure I don't miss anything.

We have to edit the site one at a time. If i click on a item in the tree 5 times rapid fire, the mysql proccess falls down. every time.

At this stage we can live with the slowness but it needs to be reliable.

Hello.

We have just deployed a site to our stage environment. Its a 500m Ram, "Cloud" VPS with Crucial Paradigm.

If we both test it together, the cms ends up hanging, and then if i refresh the page i get:

PHP Fatal error: DataObjects have been requested before the database is ready.

Looking in cpanel, the mysql service is off. Rebooting it gets us going again until the next topple.

Whats to be done? could there be a configuration i have missed in the Silverstripe? Or does it need something special turned on at the server?

Thanks, will

Re: Full Solution for Zeus Server Hosting!!

neilcreagh — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 23:17:41 +1300

Honestly, I have no idea, but it sounds like that hosting is totally unsuitable (old PHP, Zeus Hosting and not recognising your rewrite script). I would simply recommend moving the website hosting to a more suitable set-up. Sorry I can't be more help on this. If any of my clients have hosting on Register365.ie here in Ireland I recommend that they move to LetsHost.ie or MyHost.ie or Digiweb or Blacknight (pretty much all of the other hosts are suitable).

Re: Full Solution for Zeus Server Hosting!!

pinkp — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 10:09:08 +1300

I have tried this with no success. Could you please help.
I am installing on a Zeus server with Namesco and it is quickly draining my time and patience!
I managed to install it with out any changes but this then meant the rewrite was not working and the links kept reading /index.php/mypage and the log in kept logging out and saying I was not the admin. So I am trying a fresh install.

I have:

* Removed .htaccess file
* Added rewrite.script file with your code (although it still states "I can't tell whether any rewriting module is running. You may need to configure a rewriting rule yourself.")
*Changed Index.php to read: define('BASE_SCRIPT_URL','');

The MySQL is only 4.1.22-log does that matter?

Now when I click install it gets stuck at:
"Building database schema..."

any help appreciated thanks!!!

---------
EDIT:

I upgraded the MySQL to 5 and it still freezes....

----------

---------

EDIT:

I think it may be the "AllowOverride All" is not set up and the host will not do this...
What can I do now....?

--------

EDIT:

OK, so deleted and re-uploaded SS and made all the changes above and this time it worked. It did not freeze and the rewrite rule seems to be fine. The host was not able to set the allow override all but at the moment this is fine.

thanks for your reply.

Re: Experiences with Arvixe (bad, unfortunately)

Arvand.Arvixe — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 21:46:57 +1300

Hello,

I'm sorry for your issues. Per my research, it appears that you were on the ostrich server. I can assure you that at Arvixe, large server side issues reach management very quickly. Some are easy to resolve and some take time. Whether at Arvixe, Dreamhost, Bluehost, etc. you are being placed on a single server out of hundreds or thousands under management. Your experience with that specific company's hosting services is summed up by not only their ability to properly manage the servers but also other customers' level of activity on the specific server.

I can agree with you that Ostrich has had some minor issues within the past week or so in regards to slower PHP processing. However, I would ask you to be reasonable in your assessment that a we had a server down for 5 days straight. The entire output looks a bit off when you have 5 days with literally no uptime (which has never happened in the history of Arvixe).

I'm attaching an uptime report for that server for the past 31 days. The uptime report uses the Nagios monitoring system setup in Seattle to ping the server every minute. This certainly only checks for the server's uptime. But for any monitoring system to be accurate, it needs to do not only minute by minute monitoring but also outline exactly what is being checked. Is the HTTP status code being checked? IF so, which status codes outline downtime and which status codes outline uptime? Or is it just ping? Do you know for a fact your monitoring system does minute by minute monitoring? Also, heavy access to the server can be considered abusive by the server firewall and therefore, the monitoring system could get blocked causing the monitoring system to show the extended downtime you are seeing.

To date, out of ~300 servers under management, not a single server has exhibited the level downtime shown in your report. I would welcome you to take a free account from me on a different server (or the same) and use a variety of monitoring services to monitor the service so that at the very least, you are left with a neutral feeling towards our services. I have no doubt that we'll be able to change your mind. And I can assure you that if you did end up on a poorly performing server on dreamhost and placed a post or blog post on the internet, you would not have someone from their management approaching you this quickly which I hope spreaks a bit to our concern for quality and excellence.

The screenshot mentioned above is attached. What I believe is the most important is the average uptime of a host's servers across a large number of different accounts and servers. There is one site that does a good job of taking each host's customers' domains when they leave a review and monitoring them to come up with an aggregated uptime report. That is available here: http://uptime.besthostratings.com/webhosts-uptime.php

Had just had the unpleasant task of changing hosting companies twice in a month. My old host was in Australia, and with most of our business coming from the US, it made sense to move it over. I went with Arvixe on a tip from one of the SS team, and it wasn't a pleasant experience.

Re: Anyone using APC PHP Accelerator?

Sean — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 11:37:53 +1200

If you're in dev mode on the site, you can add ?debug_profile=1 to the URL, e.g. "mysite.com/about-us?debug_profile=1".

This will give you a list of times it took to render page components. While it's not the best profiler around, it does give you a good indication what parts of the page template are slow, and from there you can apply partial caching where appropriate.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for posting this Anatol.

I can confirm it's still an issue on some hosts when using version 2.4.5

I tried to copy a site which was previously installed on another server and had this error but patching the SSViewer.php file didn't work on a site which had been installed previously.
The only solution I've found is to delete the files, empty the db, load up a fresh version of SilverStripe 2.4.5, patch the file and install as normal.

Just in case this helps anyone else.

What kind of requests per_second are you guys seeing with APC installed?

I have APC installed on my Media Temple 3.5 dv server (1 GB RAM) with shared memory set to 100M. I also have partial caching in place (which I have tested and is working) with SS_Cache::pick_back_end set to use APC.

Using ap bench with a concurrency of 10, I am only seeing 6 to 7 requests pre second. I am new to server optimization, but isn't this really low?

Any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong or what I can do to increase my requests_per_second?

Thanks Ryan.

Setting the permissions to 777 and changing the owner and group of the silverstripe-cache/cache folder did the trick. Media Temple automatically assigned an owner and group of apache to the cache folder.

Getting APC installed on dv 3.5 was a whole other bag of worms. I finally did get it installed, but whenever I up the shared memory to 128M, CPU usage peaks out on me. Right now I have shared memory set to 100M and everything seems to be holding steady.

Hi Ryan

I am running a Silverstripe install on Media Temple dv 3.5.

I am having a problem getting my cache blocks to work. I have my 'silverstripe-cache' directory permissions at 777, but nothing is being written to the 'cache ' folder within the 'silverstripe-cache' folder (no zend files). Therefore my partial cacheing is not working. My cache folder has permissions of 'owner: apache' and 755.

Have you ever experienced anything like this on Media Temple?

Any suggestions would be awesome! Thanks!

Simply removing the CHMOD calls will make the system run.
Files that was changed:
Line 596 off cms/assetadmin //chmod($p->FullPath, Filesystem::$file_create_mask);

and also the one added from the patch in sapphire/filesystem/Folder.php around line 250
//chmod("$base/$file$ext", Filesystem::$file_create_mask);

There are still periodic notices of permisson problems in my tmp folder though, but this is related to using a custom TMP folder i guess.

Uploading af file gives me [Warning] chmod(): Operation not permitted
I'm using this fix http://open.silverstripe.org/attachment/ticket/5547/2.4.1-FileUpload-2.diff to get passed the invalid file for upload error.
(If i leave out the chmod part, the file is uploaded and can be choosen and used in the CMS)

Creating folder, gives Error creating folder, no further info.
Folder is actually created, but will not be visible in asset admin untill you do a manualy sync

Can someone help me find a solution to this?

Support at the host says everything is standard, and should be working - well it does not and i have never had these problems before.
If there is no fix this host should be removed from recommended hosts.

Do you know a host that will run Silverstripe with no issues? please post here thank you.

Hello Distinct,

I'm having problems with uploads to a site hosted at Quadra Hosting - can you tell me how you managed these problems?

Creating folder, gives Error creating folder, no further info.

Looking in the Webshell at Quadra hosting, i see that files uploaded with FTP have different owner/group than files created through the Webshell.

Hope you can help

Thank you for posting! This was very helpful. I just moved to windows hosting and couldn't be happier. I used http://www.serverintellect.com/ for my hosting.

I prefer this method rather than modifying code if you have WHM:

Login to the WHM panel >> Main >> Security >> Security Center >> open_basedir protection
Here you can Disable/Enable the protection for particular domain or server wide.

Hi Ricky,

thanks for response. I am actually in the process of trying to install my first silverstripe site on 123-reg. as i went ahead and bought the full package.

so i have created a database, uploaded the silverstripe files to the /public_html folder.

However, when i go to http://www.airugby.com/install.php i am being redirected to http://www.123-reg.co.uk/

I am about to send a question regarding this to 123-reg support. But do you know why this might be???

any advice much appreciated.

I work on behalf of 123-reg.

My understanding of 'AllowOveride All' is that it gives you the ability to modify the .htaccess file.

The function is available by default with all 123-reg Linux Hosting accounts.

Re: Issues with .htaccess and non www redirects

Mrfixer — Sun, 03 Jul 2011 04:45:54 +1200

All sorted, originaly when installing the add on domain the main .htaccess file would thorw out a 500 error so i used a different kind of set up htaccess to get around this so i could install, thinking that the error would come back i left it as is, but actually the right thing was to have it with the same .htaccess that is in the add on domain folder... now all is hunky dory!

Issues with .htaccess and non www redirects

Mrfixer — Sun, 03 Jul 2011 01:40:00 +1200

I have a SS site set up on a server with hostgator no problems at all, however this site will also contain another SS "Add on Domain" which is installed into the public_html folder as addondomain.com, the problem i am having is with the url rewrites from non www to www. this is what i have:

Main domain:

### SILVERSTRIPE START ###
<Files *.ss>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Files>

<Files web.config>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Files>
ErrorDocument 404 /assets/error-404.html
ErrorDocument 500 /assets/error-500.html

<IfModule mod_alias.c>
RedirectMatch 403 /silverstripe-cache(/|$)
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
DirectoryIndex index.php
SetEnv HTTP_MOD_REWRITE On
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.maindomain\.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.maindomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .* sapphire/main.php?url=%1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
### SILVERSTRIPE END ###

in the add on domain htaccess:

### SILVERSTRIPE START ###
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectorySlash Off
</IfModule>

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^addondomain.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.addondomain.com/$1 [R=301,NC,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.gif)|(\.jpg)|(\.png)|(\.css)|(\.js)|(\.php)$

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .* sapphire/main.php?url=%1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
### SILVERSTRIPE END ###

as advised the rewrite conditions for non www to www are running below RewriteBase, but what is happening is for both domains the urls from non www do get rewritten but at the end of the url they are suffixed with .com/sapphire/main.php?url=/ this is for both domains, i also tried to force non www through via mysite _config.php but this has the same result.. any ideas? thanks

does anyone use 123-reg to host silverstripe sites?

Does anyone know if they fulfill the best requirements for silverstripe intall?

I had a message from their support that said

"You need a VPS server for the "AllowOveride All" part.

I thought that would be their responsibility, so am a little confused as to whether they do fulfil requirements or not?

Any advice much appreciated.

Re: Hostgator?

Mrfixer — Sat, 25 Jun 2011 22:44:00 +1200

Yeah running a test site on hostgator isnt the most easiest of things due to how mod_rewrite is handled, i gave up trying to mod_rewrite when running a dev site on there, i contacted HG support and they just said go with what im doing, work on the site and once my clients ready to move from his old host company over to HG and his brand spanking website it would resolve itself when the DNS was switched, to aid that process though i had to have two .htaccess like this http://www.silverstripe.org/installing-silverstripe/show/16895 (see my post for the .htaccess codes and explanation), as soon as that was done everything went perfectly on the DNS switching.

@janorbur will be starting a new SS dev on HG this coming tuesday so will give your .htaccess a whirl, regards

Re: 64 bit

Sean — Sat, 25 Jun 2011 14:36:14 +1200

Hi Junglefish,

There's no problem between 32-bit and 64-bit versions. PHP can run as x86 on Windows x64 and IIS will install and operate the same between the two types.

Thanks,
Sean

I have a test site running on Hostgator and may move a production site there soon. Had a heck of a time getting mod_rewrite to work. We ended up with an .htaccess that looks like:

### SILVERSTRIPE START ###
<Files *.ss>
   Order deny,allow
   Deny from all
   Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Files>

<Files web.config>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Files>
ErrorDocument 404 /assets/error-404.html
ErrorDocument 500 /assets/error-500.html

<IfModule mod_alias.c>
RedirectMatch 403 /silverstripe-cache(/|$)
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
DirectoryIndex index.php
SetEnv HTTP_MOD_REWRITE On
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)$
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteRule .* sapphire/main.php?url=%1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
### SILVERSTRIPE END ###

The big problem we had was that "index.php" would remain in the page paths. This was only fixed by changing the perms on the sapphire directory to 755 from the installed 775. I don't know if the 775 perms were from the original install or an artifact of having copied the directory structure from another server but it solved the problem.

64 bit

Junglefish — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 03:56:18 +1200

Our production dept wants to move our current SS installation from "Windows Server 2003, 32 bit" to "Windows Server 2008, 64 bit".

The page here says that Windows Server 2008 is fine, http://www.silverstripe.org/system-requirements/, but there's no mention of which type.

Does anyone know if SS runs okay on 64 bit?

Never used hostgator but what issues are you running into? most problems aren't limited to just one provider.

[Warning] Wrong parameter count for session_set_cookie_params()

Tesla — Fri, 20 May 2011 16:02:38 +1200

Hi All,

I've installed Silverstripe on a server my client chose and I'm getting this error. I'm assuming it's a server configuration issue, but I don't know where to go from here. When I comment out the Director::set_environment_type('dev'); line on my config file I can enter the site and the admin however, there are certain pagetypes that I can create but when I click on 'save and publish' nothing happens. There are no Javascript errors and the Publishing message just stays there.

One thing I noticed was that the page types I can't save are the ones that have an ImageDataObjectManager. I don't know if all of these issues are related, but I really need to get this sorted ASAP.

The client insisted on using a local hosting service, but I could not find one that was running php 5.2 so the one they chose has 5.1.6. I know the requirements call for 5.2, but it is just not available. I hope this is not the issue.

Thanks to anyone that can help.

I wasn't sure if you were talking about mod_deflate.

I installed APC and there is definately a great gain to be made using it.

Thanks!

I have been using mod_deflate and htacces file caching rules which have helped overall site speed.

My concern has shifted lately with a site we host which is attracting upward of 3000 visits a day. This is putting a large amount of load on apache and I either need to look at putting them on their own vps or install something to help reduce the load.

Just to confirm, you are running APC on your server?
