1. Download nginx and php and install

• http://nginx.net/
• http://windows.php.net/download/ (I don’t like the installer)

2. Configure nginx and php

• PHP, no specific configuration, just do what you like to php.ini.
• Nginx
  Fast-CGI of php
  You can find sample from wiki.nginx.org, http://wiki.nginx.org/PHPFastCGIOnWindows, below works for me.

  location ~ \.php$ {
              fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9999;
              fastcgi_index  index.php;
              fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  D:/www/public/$fastcgi_script_name;
              include        fastcgi_params;
          }

  Configure for Zend Framework
  -f and !-f are used for checking whether file exists.

          error_page 404 /index.php;
  
          if (!-f $request_filename) {
              rewrite ^.*$ /index.php last;
              break;
          }

3. batch script to start and stop nginx + php-cgi

I’m using RunHiddenConsole to hide the prompt window and actually you also can use vbs to run nginx.

start-nginx.bat

@ECHO OFF
ECHO Starting PHP FastCGI...
C:\nginx\RunHiddenConsole.exe C:\PHP5\php-cgi.exe -b 127.0.0.1:9999
ECHO Starting nginx...
C:\nginx\RunHiddenConsole.exe c:\nginx\nginx.exe

stop-nginx.bat

@ECHO OFF
ECHO Stopping nginx...
taskkill /F /IM nginx.exe
ECHO Stopping php-cgi...
taskkill /F /IM php-cgi.exe

but php-pfm doesn’t work on Windows unless you are using cygwin.

resources.view.helperPath.Zend_View_Helper = APPLICATION_PATH "/views/helpers"
resources.view.helperPath.My_Custom_Helper = "/path to helpers"

The “My_Custom_Hepler” is the prefix, so that you can support your different modules’ help path without hard coding in php codes.

while using linux, I thought subversion client should natively support http schema,  but actually it doesn’t. By reading installation instruction, it says I need Neon… Then I download Neon and configure with –with-neon=<neonpath>, doesn’t work! try copy neon to subversion source code, reconfigure it… without –with-neon option… still doesn’t work! Shit… via looking into configure log, it says…

checking neon library version… 0.29.0
You have a neon/ subdir containing version 0.29.0,
but Subversion needs neon 0.28.4.

An appropriate version of neon could not be found, so libsvn_ra_neon
will not be built.  If you want to build libsvn_ra_neon, please either
install neon 0.28.4 on this system

or

get neon 0.28.4 from:
    http://www.webdav.org/neon/neon-0.28.4.tar.gz
unpack the archive using tar/gunzip and rename the resulting
directory from ./neon-0.28.4/ to ./neon/

no suitable neon found

… download 0.28.4, copy to sub folder, configure… yeah… works, finally. You can check whether it supports http via “svn –version”, there should be a ra_neon module.

Frankly, most of the newsletters in my mailbox are unread, and I just realize how useful and interesting those newsletters are recently, like this one. I have my DSLR several years ago, but I never tried to learn how to take real good photo… In early 2009 2008, I began to take photo weekly, although finally I re-created an account on flickr for some reason, I did enjoy those photos and I’m considering to learn something. So reading newsletters from photojojo and cleaning my DSLR might be a good new start point.

In China, we call lens are 镜头, and everyone has a brain, I mean head, which we call 头. So it is always said that the 头 (brain) behind camera is more important than the 头 (lens) which is at front.

Normally you only can develop application for windows mobile via C/C++ or .Net CF. But as to me, I pretty hope to use more simple stuff to build app, like html and javascript, which means widget: http://www.w3.org/TR/widgets/. Like Opera widget, provides this dev feature, but it’s not Windows Mobile nature…

Great thing is coming, Windows Mobile 6.5 now supports the widget although I’m still hoping a better app list interface! Check out this about building widget on WM6.5, http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2009/06/04/getting-started-with-widgets-on-windows-mobile-6-5.aspx. Going to try creating something.

via looking into the html source of flickr, I just realized it’s true that people say iphone changed the world. And flickr mobile is optimized for iphone,completely, although I can get almost same user experience by Opera on windows mobile phone. And unfortunately, flickr mobile doesn’t response same to IE on mobile…

So as resource for myself, there are two sites look nice, http://www.iphonemicrosites.com and http://www.iphonecompatible.net.
