Configure PhpStorm for debugging

2013-05-15T07:16:00.001-07:00

Params:
IDE: PhpStorm6
OS: Ubuntu 12.10

Problem:
Configure IDE for debugging.

Solution:
1) At first install and configure XDebug.

Open page http://xdebug.org/wizard.php and check your phpinfo output.
Follow instructions to install or update your XDebug.

My additional xdebug.ini options:

xdebug.remote_enable=On
xdebug.remote_host=localhost
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.max_nesting_level=250

Do not forget restart your web server with new configuration.
Also you can check if XDebug is used in phpinfo output.

2) Install and configure "Xdebug Helper" plugin in browser(chrome for example)
I using https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/xdebug-helper/eadndfjplgieldjbigjakmdgkmoaaaoc
Configuration options for it:
IDE key Other:PHPSTORM1
Or you can try another key from PhpStorm documentation page:
http://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/marklets/

3) Configure PhpStorm:
Add your app server: File -> Settings -> PHP -> Servers (Debugger: Xdebug)
Configure debug options: File->Settings->PHP->Debug
Xdebug | debug port - 9000
Xdebug | Can accept external connections - checked

Debuging
Run->Break at first line in PHP scripts - check it
Run->Start Listen PHP Debug Connections - enable listener
Go to debugging page in browser.
Click on gray bug icon and enable Debug.
After these actions all should be ready, so reload page(or send a form, or click on link, ...) and debug will start.

Apache2 Negotiation: discovered file(s) matching request

2013-02-20T08:17:00.001-08:00

Params:

- Linux A230512 3.5.0-24-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Thu Feb 7 01:50:30 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
- Apache/2.2.22

Problem:

I trying to get page from local server by URL: http://<sitename>/index/index/site_id/6. There one input point "index.php", htaccess configured properly. But "Page not found" returned.

Solution:

Apache log show this message "Negotiation: discovered file(s) matching request...". It mean you need to disable "MultiViews" in domain configuration.

1) Edit domain configuration file
> nano -w /etc/apache2/sites-available/<site-configuration-file>

2) Find this row "Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews" and remove phrase "MultiViews".

As a result you should have this "Options Indexes FollowSymLinks". Save file.

3) Restart apache
> /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Note:
OS Ubuntu 12.10, In your system routes and commands may be different.

Configure ZendDebugger for PHP5.4

2013-01-16T09:58:00.001-08:00

Params:
OS: Ubuntu12.10 - Linux A230512 3.5.0-21-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 11 18:51:59 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Web server: Apache2
PHP: PHP 5.4.6-1ubuntu1.1 Zend Engine v2.4.0

Problem:
Need to debug php scripts with ZendStudio10(beta!). But officially Zend doesn't produce Debugger for PHP v5.4, latest version for v5.3

Solution:
Main idea: download ZendServer package for PHP5.4 get ZendDebugger from this pacakge and install it manually. Follow those steps and you will be fine!

1) Get deb package of ZendServer(depending your system 64 bit or 32) for PHP5.4
> wget http://repos-source.zend.com/zend-server/preview-php5.4/deb/pool/php-5.4-debugger-zend-server_5.3.33+b7_amd64.deb
2) Unpack it:
> dpkg -x php-5.4-debugger-zend-server_5.3.33+b7_amd64.deb php54debugger
3) Copy ZendDebugger.so to the right place:
> cp ./usr/local/zend/lib/debugger/php-5.4.x/ZendDebugger.so /usr/lib/php5/20100525/ZendDebugger.so
4) Copy zend debugger.ini to the right place:
> cp ./usr/local/zend/etc/conf.d/debugger.ini /etc/php5/mods-available
5) Now you need to replace one string that ini file. Find this string
zend_extension_manager.dir.debugger=/usr/local/zend/lib/debugger
and replace it to this
zend_extension=/usr/lib/php5/20100525/ZendDebugger.so
6) Enable this ini file:
> ln -s /etc/php5/mods-available/debugger.ini /etc/php5/fpm/conf.d/30-debugger.ini
7) Restart web server:
> /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

This works for me from the box, no additional actions.

PS. All scripts and commands depends of your OS, in this version its Ubuntu.

Params:
OS: Linux solar 3.1.6-gentoo #16 SMP Thu Jan 5 14:49:10 GMT 2012 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

Problem:
I trying to run LDOCE5 and have this error:

Error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.

32bit applications need 32bit libraries, but I have 64bit system.

Solution:

Many 32bit libraries on 64bit gentoo you can install with package app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-gtklibs. Also this package has needed libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0

> emerge app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-gtklibs -av

Enable MySQL query cache, in Gentoo

2012-02-18T11:26:00.001-08:00

Params:

- OS: Linux solar 3.1.6-gentoo #16 SMP Thu Jan 5 14:49:10 GMT 2012 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
- MySQL: mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.1.61, for pc-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 5.1

Problem:

No problem :) I need to enable query cache in mysql for testing my site with high load.

Solution:

Edit mysql config file "/etc/mysql/my.cnf".

Add those options to the "[mysqld]" section:

query-cache-type = 1

query-cache-size = 10M

Restart mysql daemon:

/etc/init.d/mysql restart

To check cache enabled or not, run this query:
show variables like '%query_cache%';
And you will see that (and other options):

have_query_cache YES

query_cache_type ON

$this->sendConfirmationSuccessEmail();

PS:
This is bad solution, because when you upgrade your store to the new version
those changes will be overwritten. If you not so lazy, create package for yourself ;)

UT2004 game no sound

2012-01-15T01:14:00.000-08:00

Params:
Linux solar 3.1.6-gentoo #16 SMP Thu Jan 5 14:49:10 GMT 2012 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

Problem:
No sound in game Unreal Tournament 2004.

Solution:
UT2004 uses openal lib. So you must have this lib in system.
If you run the game by this binary "Games/ut2004/System/ut2004-bin" (32bit system),
you must have /usr/lib32/openal.so.
Or if you use binary"Games/ut2004/System/ut2004-bin-linux-amd64" (64bit system),
you must have /usr/lib64/openal.so.
On my Gentoo amd64 it wasn't installed (case second). So just type in console:
> emerge media-libs/openal -av

Gentoo error: not found libstdc++.so.5

- gcc (Gentoo 4.5.3-r1 p1.0, pie-0.4.5) 4.5.3

Problem:
When I run applicaton it give me this error:
error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Solution:
> emerge app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-compat -av
It will install also sys-libs/libstdc++-v3
Also, may be you need to create a symbolic link in your application to this shared library.

Configure Zend Debugger

2012-01-09T15:15:00.000-08:00

Params:
Linux Gentoo 3.1.6
PHP 5.3.8-pl0-gentoo
Apache 2.2.21-r1

Problem:
Need to configure Zend Debugger.

Solution:
1) Download Zend Debugger from site zend.com
2) Unpack archive to the temporary folder.
3) Find ZendDebugger.so file with version compatibale to your PHP version
For example, I have PHP version 5.3.8 so my ZendDebugger.so file located in 5.3.x folder.
4) Copy ZendDebugger.so to the folder accesibale by apache.
For example: /home/<user_name>/Applications/ZendDebugger/ZendDebugger.so
5) Edit php.ini. Location of php.ini depends by system. For Gentoo is here: /etc/php/apache2-php5.3/php.ini
6) Add following lines to the end of php.ini:

[Zend]
zend_extension=/home/<user_name>/Applications/ZendDebugger/ZendDebugger.so
zend_debugger.allow_hosts=127.0.0.1
zend_debugger.expose_remotely=always
About this and additional options you can read in internet.
7) Restart the apache. In gentoo just execute /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
8) Check debugger. Look to the phpinfo() if all "ok!" you will see section "Zend Debugger" with config options.
9) Fix errors. If you can't see "Zend Debugger" section look to the apache error log file and fix the errors.
Log file in Gentoo: /var/log/apache2/error_log
In my case I have this errors:
* Failed loading /home/<user_name>/Applications/ZendDebugger/ZendDebugger.so: libssl.so.0.9.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
* Failed loading /home/<user_name>/Applications/ZendDebugger/ZendDebugger.so: libcrypto.so.0.9.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
So I create soft links to the existing libs "libssl.so.1.0.0" and "libcrypto.so.1.0.0"
> ln -s /usr/lib/libssl.so.1.0.0 /home/<user_name>/Applications/ZendDebugger/
> ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 /home/<user_name>/Applications/ZendDebugger/
links must be in the same folder with ZendDebugger.so

That's all.

Configure Apache to interpret PHP scripts

2012-01-07T13:10:00.000-08:00

Params:
- Linux solar 3.1.6-gentoo #16 SMP Thu Jan 5 14:49:10 GMT 2012 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux,
- PHP 5.3.8-pl0-gentoo,
- Apache/2.2.21 (Unix)

Problem:
Apache not interpret php scripts, theirs content printed in browser.

Solution:
Edit apache config file /etc/conf.d/apache2 (don't forget this is gentoo!)
Find string where defined parameter APACHE2_OPTS and add "-D PHP5" to his value.

Kjots data migrate to new version (Kjots 4.6 -> Kjots 4.7.3)

KDE 4.7.3

Problem:
Upgrade kde from 4.6 to 4.7.4 and need to migrate my Kjots data to new application version.

Solution:
Open console, and input commands (current user account, not root):
> cd ~/.kde4/share/apps/kjots
> kjotsmigrator --interactive

PHP sessions across sub domains

2011-12-25T08:46:00.000-08:00

Params:
PHP-5.3, Apache-2.2

Problem:
I need a single session for mysite.com and admin.mysite.com domains. I would login on main domain mysite.com, and will be already authorized on sub domains like admin.mysite.com.

Solution:
In script before session start need too setup this session parameters:
session.cookie_path = "/"
session.cookie_domain = ".mysite.com" - dot at the beginning is important, it specify use same sessions on sub domains

Example:
Example for Zend Framework application.

Define site domain name value:
*** public/index.php ***
...
defined('SITE_DOMAIN_NAME')
|| define('SITE_DOMAIN_NAME', (getenv('SITE_DOMAIN_NAME') ? getenv('SITE_DOMAIN_NAME') : 'mysite.com'));
...
It seems, if server value SITE_DOMAIN_NAME is not defined, craete it. We will use it in config file.

You can define SITE_DOMAIN_NAME in .htaccess file, Anyway he need to be configured on every server separately.

*** public/.htaccess ***
...
SetEnv SITE_DOMAIN_NAME mysite.com
...

Further I set session values in config file
*** application/configs/application.ini ***
[production]
...
local.session.cookie_path = "/"
local.session.cookie_domain = "." SITE_DOMAIN_NAME
...
This line "." SITE_DOMAIN_NAME is equal to ".mysite.com"

And in Bootstrap.php wee initialize session.
*** application/Bootstrap.php ***
...
protected function _initSession()
{
$localCfg = new Zend_Config($this->getOption('local'), true);
Zend_Session::setOptions($localCfg->session->toArray());
Zend_Session::start();
}
...

Zend Framework, bind subdomains to modules

2011-12-23T11:53:00.000-08:00

Params:

Zend Framework 1.11, PHP-5.3, Apache 2.2, local pc with Gentoo on board.

Problem:

I want to bind subdomains to certain module of Zend Framework application.

Example:

http://mysite.com - follow to default module of my app.

http://admin.mysite.com - follow to admin module.

Controllers, actions and params may be various(global variables also):
http://admin.mysite.com/index/index/foo/bar/......

etc.

Solution:

1) Create site with default Zend Framework module structure.

/var/www/mysite.com/

application/

configs/

modules/

admin/

controllers/

views/

default/

......

Bootstrap.php

......

2) Bind DocumentRoot folder of mysite.com, www.mysite.com, admin.mysite.com to the same folder. In my case it's:
/var/www/mysite.com/public

3) In Bootstrap.php file init application router:

protected function _initRouter()

{

$router = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getRouter();

$hostnameDefaultRoute = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Hostname(':module.mysite.com' , array('module' => 'default'));

$router->addRoute('default', $hostnameDefaultRoute->chain(new Zend_Controller_Router_Route(':lang/:controller/:action/*', array('lang' => 'en', 'controller'=>'index', 'action'=>'index'))));

$hostnameDefaultRoute = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Hostname('mysite.com' , array('module' => 'default'));

$router->addRoute('www', $hostnameDefaultRoute->chain(new Zend_Controller_Router_Route(':lang/:controller/:action/*', array('lang' => 'ru', 'controller'=>'index', 'action'=>'index'))))

->addRoute('login' , $hostnameDefaultRoute->chain(new Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Static('login', array('controller' => 'user', 'action'=>'login'))));

// routes for admin area

$hostnameAdminRoute = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Hostname('admin.mysite.com', array('module' => 'admin'));

$router->addRoute('admin' , $hostnameAdminRoute->chain(new Zend_Controller_Router_Route(':lang/:controller/:action/*', array('lang' => 'en', 'controller'=>'index', 'action'=>'index'))))

->addRoute('settings' , $hostnameAdminRoute->chain(new Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Static('settings', array('controller' => 'config', 'action' => 'list'))));

}

==================================================================

In a result will work this url's:

mysite.com/ -> Module: default, IndexController, indexAction, lang: en

mysite.com/en/index/index -> Module: default, IndexController, indexAction, lang: en

mysite.com/en/index/index/foo/bar -> Module: default, IndexController, indexAction, lang: en , params: foo = bar

mysite.com/login -> Module: default, UserController, loginAction

admin.mysite.com -> Module: admin, indexController, indexAction, lang: en

admin.mysite.com/en/ -> Module: admin, indexController, indexAction, lang: en

admin.mysite.com/settings -> Module: admin, configController, listAction

4) Also you can use route names in view helper URL. In view script:

echo $this->url(array(), 'www') will output 'mysite.com/en/index/index'

echo $this->url(array('foo' => 'bar'), 'www') will output 'mysite.com/en/index/index/foo/bar'

echo $this->url(array(), 'login') will output 'mysite.com/login'

echo $this->url(array('page' => 1), 'admin') will output 'admin.mysite.com/en/index/index/page/1'

echo $this->url(array(), 'settings') will output 'admin.mysite.com/settings'

Also you can specify controllers and actions

echo $this->url(array('controller' => 'post', 'action' => 'list'), 'www') will output 'mysite.com/en/post/list'

echo $this->url(array('action' => 'print', 'id' => 2), 'admin') will output 'admin.mysite.com/en/index/print/id/2'

Magento, change emails count in newsletter queue

2011-12-18T06:53:00.000-08:00

Params:
Magento 1.6.0

Problem:
When cron execute newsletters, the count of emails which will be send is limited to 20 per request.

Solution:
Notice: This is bad solution!
Edit script app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/controllers/Newsletter/QueueController.php
Find string :
$countOfSubscritions = 20;
and set the value which you need. For me is "8" - limit of my hosting (emails count per request).
