phprojekt and virtual servers

janh · n00b Joined: 20 Dec 2003 Posts: 31

does anybody know where I can find a howto that covers:
1. DNS configuration when using multiple instances of phprojekt
2. virtual server configuration when using multiple instances of phprojekt

basically something in the style of this manual page:
(which was written for squirrelmail)

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/virt-mail-howto.xml

Is it covered in Gentoo's webapp-config system yet ?
In that case, setting up multiple copies should be trivial[1]

1[]admittedly, for unspecified values of trivial...

Don't how to verify it is available in webapp-config.

On the other hand it is available under portage.

The postinstall is below, unfortunately this nowhere mentions webapp-config

Postinstall:
You are almost done!

1. Restart your webserver

2. You will need to create a blank database for phprojekt to use. Consult
your database manual.

3. If this is a new install, you will need to
touch ${MY_INSTALLDIR}/config.inc.php
chown ${VHOST_SERVER_GID}:${VHOST_SERVER_UID} ${MY_INSTALLDIR}/config.inc.php

4. It's a good idea to check your configuration by running
http://YOURHOST/env_test.php
Examine its output and fix whatever problems you encounter.

5. Complete the installation by logging on to
http://YOURHOST/setup.php

Enjoy!

Well, no webapp-config then, but you should quite easily be able to copy it to every virtual host you need it, and change the relevant bits in config.inc.

Which is basically what webapp-config does, only nicer ;-)

EDIT: as for DNS, that's even more trivial.
Virtual hosting == everything goes to one IP.
You have to configure apache to get it to work; DNS is not an issue.

it's not fancy, but without knowing more about phprojekt it's the best I can do.

install apache, php, mysql, etc.
Get apache running and turn on vhosts.
Make sure vhosts are working
install phprojekt normally.
cd /var/www/localhost/htdocs/
assuming you have some sort of nice naming scheme for your vhosts the next commands will look something like this.
cp -a phprojekt/ /var/www/www.domain1.com/htdocs/
cp -a phprojekt/ /var/www/www.domain2.com/htdocs/
cp -a phprojekt/ /var/www/www.domain3.com/htdocs/

Now point your browser to the following address to configure the first instance. Obviously you'll want different mysql database names and logins for each instance.
www.domain1.com/phprojekt/setup.php

Wash, rinse, repeat.

I'm guessing that this is probably the best way to do it. Mail and web generally assume you'll have differnet users and allows you to split acces. Most webapp project don't make this assumption which is why running mutiple instances is probably the way to go.
