First of all, nice work ! It was really easy to deploy my Laravel app on Openshift with your cartridge, so thanks for that :smile:

In order to fully automatize the deployment process, it would be cool to add a rule to execute npm tasks such as gulp or bower.

I added my npm tasks in the build hook, but I have the well knew rights error:

npm ERR! Error: EACCES, mkdir '/var/lib/openshift/XXXXXXX/.npm'
npm ERR!  { [Error: EACCES, mkdir '/var/lib/openshift/XXXXXXX/.npm']
npm ERR!   errno: 3,
npm ERR!   code: 'EACCES',
npm ERR!   path: '/var/lib/openshift/XXXXXXX/.npm' }
npm ERR! Please try running this command again as root/Administrator.

I tried to figure out how I can enable npm on my gear, or change npm's default temp folders but I didn't succeed so far.

There is a better and simpler way to do that directly in the Laravel Cartridge ?

Hi,

Thank you for contributing this.

I was wondering if you have any plans to upgrade to Laravel 5.1? It would also a PHP5.6 upgrade in the cartridge as well I think.

Thanks in advance.

I can't see 'composer update' command anywhere in the action_hooks directory. Is composer supported? I used laravel 4 with the following 'build' action hook.

!/bin/bash

export COMPOSER_HOME="$OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR/.composer" if [ ! -f "$OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR/composer.phar" ]; then curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php -- --install-dir=$OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR else php $OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR/composer.phar self-update fi ( unset GIT_DIR ; cd $OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR ; php $OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR/composer.phar install )

https://github.com/vignesh0025/openshift-laravel4-quickstart/blob/master/.openshift/action_hooks/build

But i could'nt find a similar one here. So how does it support composer?

And please explain the settings of .env file configuration. If i want to add my data to remote .env file, how should i do it. I could'nt understand its working here. Its in .openshift directory for remote server. But how laravel will use it to get the required data.

Today I try to use a "intervention/image": "^2.3.*", whe I use "composer update" I have this error ( Could not parse version constraint 4.x.x: Invalid version string "4.x.x"), I read about this and found it´s because the old composer version (1.0-dev 2015-03-09 23:06:06). The file composer.phar can be updated?

Not using this command is commonly use on shared hosting application but is this also possible to off on the cartridge. I just need this to one of my application.

Hi,

I am new to openshift and i have a problem in deployment. I've pushed the updates to openshift repo by simply pushing to the master branch. It seems that the updates wasn't deployed properly. How do i make sure that all the updates are part of the deployment? I already added "php artisan cache:clear" on deploy action hook didn't help at all.

How do check the last commit in the server? Thanks in advance.

The path in app.blade.php for the css style sheet was changed, and it wouldn't work on local development, it wasn't able to fetch the css file.

Reverting to laravel way for referencing assets in views

It's been a long time (1+year ago) since I updated my app. Now I'm trying to deploy my updates and I've encountered the error below. I suspect that this error was caused by the outdated composer, so tried updating it by adding a script in post_deploy and deploy action_hooks. Unfortunately, it didn't work. Can you please help me with this error? Thanks in advance!

Composer update script

export MY_PHPCOMPOSER=$OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR/composer.phar

# if composer not exists, download
if [ ! -f $MY_PHPCOMPOSER ]; then
    cd $OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR
    echo "Downloading composer..."
    php -r "readfile('https://getcomposer.org/installer');" | php 
fi

$MY_PHPCOMPOSER -n -q self-update
cd $OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR 
# install
php -dmemory_limit=1G $MY_PHPCOMPOSER install

For subsequent deployments the storage directory needs to be removed completely. Without this change the default storage directory keeps existing and any log additions will be written to default storage/log directory and will be deleted in subsequent deployments.

Hi,

After deploying the app, all the uploaded images were deleted or maybe moved to somewhere else. I'm not sure what's happening when i deploy something.

How do I automatically link the uploads folder to the openshift data dir? or better if the files on the upload folders are preserved. I've tried adding a link command on deploy script but sadly it didn't work. Can you please assist me in setting this up. Thanks in advance!

ln -sf ${OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR}public/uploads   ${OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR}public/uploads
ln -sf ${OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR}public/cards   ${OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR}public/cards

Hi, When I want to add a custom class to the composer.json my custom class need to implement in config/app.php and after that need to artisan vendor:publish But when I want to commit my application, then I receive this message:

I can resolve this error using this method:

1. Login to the server using ssh
2. Run a PHP artisan vendor:publish
3. Restart the application

That's all Regards Payam
