Production Server

Scriptcase 8 Installation
#1

Hello

we use SC8 with postgres, and I try to keep running a virtual machine to test deployment of production server, SO is Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS x64

I have installed apache 2.4.7, php 5.5.9, postgresql 9.3, libapache2-mod-php5 5.5.9, php5-cli

zip, mbsrting, gd are installed

but when I try to open the first page I ve got only white blank page

in apache error log I,ve got the following

Failed loading /etc/apache2/ZendGuardLoader.so: /etc/apache2/ZendGuardLoader.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32

On the SC8 server the project work perfectly
what do I have to check?

A couple of things:

  1. PHP 5.5 is not supported as yet - I’m not saying it won’t work - but you are likely to have issues?

  2. Have you followed the steps to setup the “prod” environment, from an SC perspective? This is over and above building a server with Apache and PHP. The first time you “deploy” your project to what will be your production system you need to go through a few short hoops that basically point your SC implementation to your Database (with an appropriate connection).

The fact that your errors mention Zend makes me think you haven’t done that initial set of things (It’s well documented). That’s because Zend is only needed in the dev environment.

thanks for reply,
removed the Zend
the connection to DB is working
found php 5.4.30 but I’m newbe to install it from source :frowning:
could you point me to documentation to install it?

Thanks again

Im also on 14.04 and downgrading PHP is near impossible - don’t even bother (I looked into it quite hard - and the general consensus is downgrade your Ubuntu to 12.04 for now). Or, as I did in my case, was kept 14.04 but created a 12.04 VM under 14.04 - until such time 5.5 is supported.

#5

I know it’s possible (tryng right now to compile without curl support), our development server with SC8 is a 14.04 server, and the scriptcase installed php 5.4.30

Now, I tried to configure php 5.4.30 without curl support (I had an error og missing libraries) and installed

user@VM1-Missus:~$ php -v

But still have the blank page :mad:

The apache error log still has

Just hope the only solution is not to install 12.04 LTS

#6

I’m not saying you cannot do it - it’s just that 14.04 has lots of dependencies that rely on 5.5 - so you may well get 5.4 working for SC, but it will break a bunch of other key things.

My dev is in 14.04 but under a full SC implementation using its own apache and PHP 5.4 / Zend environment - however, using 14.04 as a prod environment is where it all gets rather tricky.

#7

ok, I’m done
now install 12.04 LTS

thanks again

:slight_smile: here’s hoping…

#10

Perhaps they should go a bit further, since 5.6.6 is the current stable release of PHP

#14

How about your php.ini?

zend_extension=/var/ZendGuardLoader/php-5.4.x/ZendGuardLoader.so
zend_loader.enable=1
zend_loader.disable_licensing=0

… after that

service apache2 restart

#15

License Path no value
