You could combine the two steps into one when you create the application

rhc create-app anchor zend-5.6 mysql-5.1

Awesome tutorial! Thanks

I have tried around 5 times already, both on Windows and Ubuntu, and I can't get this to work. Anchor installs fine, but after I try to push the last changes (to save this install) I get reverted back to the installer, even though I do exactly as you say, point by point. Git unfortunately is harder to grasp than FTP. I really hope I'll manage to do this somehow.

That's strange. It sounds like the modified files were not uploaded/synced.

Can you tell me what happens if, in the folder of our project, you do:

$ rhc ssh yourappname

And in the shell that appears (it should look like a long string ending with \>) you do

..\> less app-root/runtime/repo/php/.htaccess

(the output should be: https://gist.github.com/mse... if not it means that for some reasons the new .htaccess was not pushed)

Similarly

..\> less app-root/runtime/repo/php/anchor/config/app.php

should be equal to the app.php that is contained in the file config.tar that you get after the first configuration.

Thanks for the advice, although I have figured it out by myself before you answered. It was my fault, rookie mistake and I feel like a moron :D

So, you cannot execute:

$ ssh uuid(anchor)-mseritutorial.rhcloud.com 'tar c app-root/runtime/repo/php/install' > install.tar
$ ssh uuid(anchor)-mseritutorial.rhcloud.com 'tar c app-root/runtime/repo/php/anchor/config' > config.tar

in Windows' command line, since there's no native ssh, so using putty I tried to bypass it. It worked, but my mind didn't connect that one has to save these compressed folders on the local drive instead of the server itself. Welp. So I logged into Ubuntu, downloaded the tars after Anchor installation and the rest worked like a charm.
I'm not a programmer but a political scientist, hence hosting, coding and so on are my hobbies which I learn by myself in my spare time, so sometimes I do stupid stuff like this.

When i create a new app, there is no php folder inside anchor. Should i create a new empty folder and follow the tutorial or just follow the tutorial with the anchor folder. ?

I created the app using rhc app-create anchor php-5.4 mysql-5.1

Looks to me like now that OpenShift has a PHP 5.4 cartridge, you should be able to just use that for Anchor, which requires PHP 5.3.6+ at the time of writing. Just a heads up.
