This is a build pack bundling PHP and Nginx for Heroku apps.
- Includes additional extensions: apc, memcache, memcached, mysql, pgsql, phpredis, mcrypt, newrelic, and sqlite.
- Dependency management handled by Composer.
- PHP Info.
The config files are bundled:
- conf/nginx.conf.erb
- conf/etc.d/01_memcached.ini
- conf/etc.d/02_memcache.ini
- conf/etc.d/03_phpredis.ini
- conf/php.ini
- conf/php-fpm.conf
Create a conf/
directory in the root of the your deployment. Any files with names matching the above will be copied over and overwitten.
This way, you can customise settings specific to your application, especially the document root in nginx.conf.erb
. (Note the .erb extension.)
Alternatively, the bundled nginx.conf.erb
will automatically include all nginx configuration snippets within the application directory: conf/nginx.d/*.conf
. This is another way that you can modify the root
and index
directives. Further, if the config snippets end with .erb
, they will be parsed and have .conf
extension appended to its filename.
Heroku now supports running a single .profile
script in the root of your application during startup, right before boot.sh
is executed. See https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/dynos#startup.
For more advanced usage of .profile scripts, see https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/profiled.
Edit support/set-env.sh
and bin/compile
to update the version numbers.
$ gem install vulcan
$ vulcan create build-server-name
$ export AWS_ID="1BHAJK48DJFMQKZMNV93" # optional if s3 handled manually.
$ export AWS_SECRET="fj2jjchebsjksmMJCN387RHNjdnddNfi4jjhshh3" # as above
$ export S3_BUCKET="heroku-buildpack-php-tyler" # set to your S3 bucket.
$ source support/set-env.sh
Edit bin/compile
and support/set-env.sh
to reflect the correct S3 bucket.
Run:
$ support/package_nginx
The binary package will be produced in the current directory. Upload it to Amazon S3.
Run:
$ support/package_libmcrypt
The binary package will be produced in the current directory. Upload it to Amazon S3.
Run:
$ support/package_libmemcached
The binary package will be produced in the current directory. Upload it to Amazon S3.
Run:
$ support/package_newrelic
The binary package will be produced in the current directory. Upload it to Amazon S3.
PHP requires supporting libraries to be available when being built. Please have the preceding packages built and uploaded onto S3 before continuing.
Review the support/vulcan-build-php.sh
build script and verify the version numbers in support/set-env.sh
.
Run:
$ support/package_php
The binary package will be produced in the current directory. Upload it to Amazon S3.
To speed up the slug compilation stage, precompiled binary packages are cached. The buildpack will attempt to fetch manifest.md5sum
to verify that the cached packages are still fresh.
This file is generated with the md5sum tool:
$ md5sum *.tar.gz > manifest.md5sum
Contents of manifest.md5sum
:
$ cat manifest.md5sum
7d99f732e54f6f53e026dd86de4158ac libmcrypt-2.5.8.tar.gz
1390676a5df6dc658fd9bce66eedae48 libmemcached-1.0.7.tar.gz
d2447fba1ff9f1dbdf86d3fb20c79c4c newrelic-2.9.5.78-heroku.tar.gz
9b861de30f67a66358d58a8f897f6262 nginx-1.2.2-heroku.tar.gz
ca9f712f2dde107f7a0ef44f0b743f1f php-5.4.4-with-fpm-heroku.tar.gz
Remember to upload an updated manifest.md5sum
to Amazon S3 whenever you upload new precompiled binary packages.
Read through this whole README file first and decide if you need to make any changes to this buildpack; most customisations do not require editing the buildpack scripts. However, if you do need to make changes, fork this repo and replace the following URLs with yours.
Copy support/04_newrelic.ini.sample
to your heroku app as conf/etc.d/04_newrelic.ini
, and edit as necessary.
Export your new relic license key as the NEW_RELIC_LICENSE_KEY
env variable using heroku config
. This is already done for you if you have the New Relic add on enabled.
To use this buildpack, on a new Heroku app:
heroku create -s cedar -b git:https://github.com/iphoting/heroku-buildpack-php-tyler.git
On an existing app:
heroku config:add BUILDPACK_URL=git:https://github.com/iphoting/heroku-buildpack-php-tyler.git
Push deploy your app and you should see Nginx, mcrypt, and PHP being bundled.
Note: There are two branches in this buildpack, master
and develop
.
The former is the default and the latter has more recently released versions of upstream software.
To select the develop
branch, append #develop
to the buildpack URL above, without any spaces.
Composer is the de facto dependency manager for PHP, similar to Bundler in Ruby.
- Declare your dependencies in
composer.json
; see docs for syntax and other details. - Run
php composer.phar install
locally at least once to generate acomposer.lock
file. Make sure bothcomposer.json
andcomposer.lock
files are committed into version control. - When you push the app, the buildpack will fetch and install dependencies when it detects both
composer.json
andcomposer.lock
files.
Note: It is optional to have composer.phar
within the application root. If missing, the buildpack will automatically fetch the latest version available from https://getcomposer.org/composer.phar.
Setup the test environment on Heroku as follows:
$ cd heroku-buildpack-php-tyler/
$ heroku create -s cedar -b git:https://github.com/ryanbrainard/heroku-buildpack-testrunner.git
Creating deep-thought-1234... done, stack is cedar
https://deep-thought-1234.herokuapp.com/ | [email protected]:deep-thought-1234.git
Git remote heroku added
Then, push the buildpack to be tested into Heroku:
$ git push -f heroku <branch>:master # where <branch> is the git branch you want to test.
Finally, run those tests:
$ heroku run tests-with-caching
If you run your tests programatically, you might need the follow command instead:
$ heroku run tests-with-caching | bin/report
