Hi All,

I've developed my PHP, I've paid my licence, I've got it working in my machine... can someone please tell me how to distribute the application please??

I've copied the PHPDock directory that was created by the installer onto a disk and moved it to another machine. Starting up the application gives a HTTP 500 Internal Server Error. ANY information appreciated.

If someone could give some guidance on how to compile the application using Inno Setup as described in the case study I would really appreciate it

Many thanks in advance

I should have mentioned that it is being compiled on Win2K

Further tests have concluded that if I compile using Inno Setup and make the program path *exactly* the same as the original install path it works fine? Can someone please tell me if there is someway to change this. I've had a look through the phpdock.ini and it seems that the path is dependent on the

application/x-httpd-php="%PATH%"

Am I along the right track? Is there any way to configure Inno Setup to alter this to the users wishes?

Hi Tyndyll,

Certainly application/x-httpd-php="%PATH%" is a wrong setting and causes the trouble.
It should be a valid path to php-cgi.exe with filename

If you're using INNO, the following will work fine:

just leave
application/x-httpd-php=SOMEVAL
in phpdock.ini being distributed
then in the INNO script have the following line:
[ini]
Filename: "{app}\phpdock.ini"; Section: "Handlers"; Key: "application/x-httpd-php"; String: """{app}\php\php-cgi.exe"""

(I presumed that php will be installed in phpdock\php subdirectory, but it's up to you Smile

, just don't forget to package php and phpdock with your application )

Feel free to play with the following iss script:

Code:

[setup]
AppName=My PhpDock Based Application
AppVerName=My PhpDock Based Application 1.0
AppVersion=1.0
AppMutex=phpdockmutex
AppPublisher=My Company.
AppPublisherURL=http://www.mycompany.com/
LicenseFile=myapp\license.rtf
OutputBaseFilename="myapp-1.0-win32"
DisableStartupPrompt=yes
DefaultDirName={pf}\mycompany\myapp
DefaultGroupName=mycompany
AppCopyright=Copyright é 2006 My Company.
AllowNoIcons=yes
AlwaysShowGroupOnReadyPage=yes
Compression=lzma/max

; if you have 404 handler it may make sense to enable it:

Filename: "{app}\php\php.ini"; Section: "Session"; Key: "session.save_path"; String: """{app}\php\sessions"""

And if anyone is using NSIS, here's the equivalent code:

WriteINIStr $INSTDIR\phpdock.ini "Handlers" "application/x-httpd-php" "$INSTDIR\php\php-cgi.exe"
WriteINIStr $INSTDIR\phpdock.ini "HTTPServer" "DocumentRoot" "web"
WriteINIStr $INSTDIR\phpdock.ini "HTTPClient" "DefaultDocument" ".\web\index.php"
WriteINIStr $INSTDIR\php\php.ini "Session" "session.save_path" "$INSTDIR\php\sessions"
