Automatic deployment to Heroku from development branch

[hongquan]

Parent: #135

The website on Heroku will play role of staging server.

Reference: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/github-integration#automatic-deploys

[sreejakshetty]

@hongquan I am unable to do automatic deployment.

[mariobehling]

I gave you admin access. Please try again.

[DishantK1807]

@hongquan : I was able to set development on Heroku.

but when I open the app it shows forbidden access.

[DishantK1807]

@kamishettysreeja25 : https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/php-support#activation We can use this for help.

[mariobehling]

@kamishettysreeja25 Please give @rafalkowalski access

[rafalkowalski]

@DishantK1807 i also got the same error have you tried to configure Procfile file? I don't know PHP enough, maybe this can help you https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/deploying-php#configuring-the-document-root

From Heroku PHP docs

Heroku PHP Support will be applied to applications only when the application has a file named composer.json in the root directory. Even if an application has no Composer dependencies, it must include an empty composer.json in order to be recognized as a PHP application.

So please add a blank composer.json to the root of this repo

Then as @rafalkowalski said, add a Procfile to the root. If the project's index.php is in public/ directory, it should have the following contents ..

web: vendor/bin/heroku-php-apache2 public/

Then you will have to setup Database on Heroku. Assuming you are using Mysql, follow this guide https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/cleardb . Then to further use that database in php, see https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/cleardb#using-cleardb-with-php

Hope it helps.

Hi @aviaryan

So please add a blank composer.json to the root of this repo

We are deploying development branch. composer.json file exits in the development branch.

Then as @rafalkowalski said, add a Procfile to the root. If the project's index.php is in public/ directory, it should have the following contents .. Then you will have to setup Database on Heroku. Assuming you are using Mysql, follow this guide https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/cleardb . Then to further use that database in php, see https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/cleardb#using-cleardb-with-php Hope it helps.

Sure , Thanks I will try adding Procfile. I think I have missed that .

[DishantK1807]

Followed the steps mentioned, added the Procfile to update the document root, updated the database using cleardb, the app is deployed successfully but no content is viewed.

@DishantK1807 can you share your config/config.php We need to remove config/config.php from .gitignore as we can't copy the config.default.php to config.php on heroku to setup the system.

[DishantK1807]

@kamishettysreeja25: I am away from my laptop right now. Can you take it from my forked repository? from the dev branch.

[sreejakshetty]

@DishantK1807 . We need to change the configuration of config.php. https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/cleardb#using-cleardb-with-php

$url = parse_url(getenv("CLEARDB_DATABASE_URL"));
$server = $url["host"];
$username = $url["user"];
$password = $url["pass"];
$db = substr($url["path"], 1);

$config = array(
    'host' => $server ,
    'user' => $username ,
    'pw' => $password,
    'db' => $db 
);

I have added the following lines.But even after changing config.php file I am unable to view .

[aviaryan]

@kamishettysreeja25 Have you created clearDB database on heroku ? heroku addons:create cleardb:ignite

[sreejakshetty]

@aviaryan ,yes I have created clearDB database on heroku and imported the tables. I deployed a sample php and mysql project following the same steps as I followed for engelsystem the sample project is successfully running but I am unable to view engelsystem.https://glacial-meadow-29445.herokuapp.com/index.php

[sreejakshetty]

https://arcane-temple-12164.herokuapp.com/ I have again tried deploying but the same result I am unable to even view the page. Did anyone fix it ?

[sreejakshetty]

From heroku logs we are getting this error

You're page is returning a server error, http 500, looking at your logs with heroku logs I see:
2016-06-28T13:07:17.962936+00:00 app[web.1]: [28-Jun-2016 13:07:17 UTC] PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function _() in /app/includes/view/User_view.php on line 8
2016-06-28T13:07:17.977512+00:00 heroku[router]: at=info method=GET path="/" host=arcane-temple-12164.herokuapp.com request_id=04b842cc-8caa-4580-91df-5bc5a3d81518 fwd="81.102.218.46" dyno=web.1 connect=0ms service=1ms status=500 bytes=189

[hongquan]

Call to undefined function _()

This means the PHP on Heroku doesn't have gettext library. You can ask Heroku to add missing library by composer.json file.

[sreejakshetty]

@hongquan how can we do it just adding the library for gettext library. Even after removing the line I am getting the same log error. I have mailed the heroku support regarding this.

[hongquan]

You already have "keyword". Quick Google can give a solution http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32303089/how-to-install-gettext-extension-for-php-on-heroku

Even after removing the line

Which line?

[sreejakshetty]

line no 8 2016-06-28T13:07:04.001258+00:00 app[web.1]: [28-Jun-2016 13:07:03 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function _() in /app/includes/view/User_view.php on line 8

[hongquan]

Don't you understand what "Call to undefined function" mean? It means that that line of code contains some undefined function. And it also means that this undefined function may also occurs in other lines (because we, the author of the code, are using that function). So, removing only line 8 doesn't mean that the use of that undefined function will completely disappear from our code.

When you read the log message, please look in to the code, at that line, to understand the problem.

[sreejakshetty]

I have fixed it https://arcane-temple-12164.herokuapp.com/ I will be changing the domain name and add automatic deployment to development branch. Cheers!

[sreejakshetty]

enabled automatic deploy from development branch

[sreejakshetty]

Added the domain name but unable to load the site fossasia.engel.com

[mariobehling]

@kamishettysreeja25 Do you own the domain engel.com? Of course this should not work. I suggest you think this through yourself.

[sreejakshetty]

I don't own the domain name. https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/custom-domains I understood the reason. Thank you

[sreejakshetty]

changed the heroku domain name successfully new link : http://engelsystem-foss.herokuapp.com/

[hongquan]

@kamishettysreeja25 Duplicate of require key in composer.json:

   "require": {
    "ext-mysql": "*"
  },
   "require": {
      "ext-gettext": "*"
    },

[sreejakshetty]

@hongquan I have updated the composer.json file. Removed the duplicate require key. https://github.com/fossasia/engelsystem/commit/59c15c38d2f0a476e3e80bbadee5ac0484ee674d Thank you.

[mariobehling]

Deployed here http://volunteersys.herokuapp.com

[mariobehling]

Unfortunately this issue needs to be re-opened as the system is not deployed after an update properly. The priority was urgent 1.5 months ago and is not solved yet entirely.
