Resource/Provider

This cookbook includes LWRPs for managing:

PEAR channels
PEAR/PECL packages
PHP-FPM instances

`php_pear_channel`

PEAR Channels are alternative sources for PEAR packages. This LWRP provides and easy way to manage these channels.

Actions

discover: Initialize a channel from its server.
add: Add a channel to the channel list, usually only used to add private channels. Public channels are usually added using the :discover action
update: Update an existing channel
remove: Remove a channel from the List

Parameters

channel_name: name attribute. The name of the channel to discover
channel_xml: the channel.xml file of the channel you are adding

Example

# discover the horde channel
php_pear_channel "pear.horde.org" do
  action :discover
end

# download xml then add the symfony channel
remote_file "#{Chef::Config['file_cache_path']}/symfony-channel.xml" do
  source "http://pear.symfony-project.com/channel.xml"
  mode 0644
end
php_pear_channel "symfony" do
  channel_xml "#{Chef::Config['file_cache_path']}/symfony-channel.xml"
  action :add
end

# update the main pear channel
php_pear_channel 'pear.php.net' do
  action :update
end

# update the main pecl channel
php_pear_channel 'pecl.php.net' do
  action :update
end

`php_pear`

PEAR is a framework and distribution system for reusable PHP components. PECL is a repository for PHP Extensions. PECL contains C extensions for compiling into PHP. As C programs, PECL extensions run more efficiently than PEAR packages. PEARs and PECLs use the same packaging and distribution system. As such this LWRP is clever enough to abstract away the small differences and can be used for managing either. This LWRP also creates the proper module .ini file for each PECL extension at the correct location for each supported platform.

Actions

install: Install a pear package - if version is provided, install that specific version
upgrade: Upgrade a pear package - if version is provided, upgrade to that specific version
remove: Remove a pear package
purge: Purge a pear package (this usually entails removing configuration files as well as the package itself). With pear packages this behaves the same as :remove

Parameters

package_name: name attribute. The name of the pear package to install
version: the version of the pear package to install/upgrade. If no version is given latest is assumed.
preferred_state: PEAR by default installs stable packages only, this allows you to install pear packages in a devel, alpha or beta state
directives: extra extension directives (settings) for a pecl. on most platforms these usually get rendered into the extension's .ini file
options: Add additional options to the underlying pear package command

Example

# upgrade a pear
php_pear "XML_RPC" do
  action :upgrade
end


# install a specific version
php_pear "XML_RPC" do
  version "1.5.4"
  action :install
end


# install the mongodb pecl
php_pear "mongo" do
  action :install
end


# install apc pecl with directives
php_pear "apc" do
  action :install
  directives(:shm_size => 128, :enable_cli => 1)
end


# install the beta version of Horde_Url
# from the horde channel
hc = php_pear_channel "pear.horde.org" do
  action :discover
end
php_pear "Horde_Url" do
  preferred_state "beta"
  channel hc.channel_name
  action :install
end


# install the YAML pear from the symfony project
sc = php_pear_channel "pear.symfony-project.com" do
  action :discover
end
php_pear "YAML" do
  channel sc.channel_name
  action :install
end

`php_fpm`

PHP-FPM is a relatively new extension to PHP that actually embeds a FastCGI process manager right inside the PHP codebase. It runs independently of Apache or NGINX and supports both Apache's mod_fcgi and NGINX's fastcgi modules. You can easily create farms of PHP application servers using PHP-FPM as the middleware to your web frontend (i.e. NGINX and PHP-FPM work pretty well).

Actions

add: Adds a PHP-FPM instance and restarts the service
remove: Removes the PHP-FPM instance profile from the PHP-FPM pool and restarts the PHP-FPM service

Parameters

name: name attribute. Defines the PHP-FPM's pool name and actual .conf filename
user: System user the pool runs as.
group: System group the pool runs as.
socket: Set to true to enable communication via a UNIX socket instead of IP. Only useful if you run PHP-FPM on the same system with the web server or over a shared filesystem (i.e. NFS)
socket_path: The UNIX socket filename
socket_user: The UNIX socket file owner
socket_group: The UNIX socket file group
socket_perms: The UNIX socket file permissions. Set it to "0666" if running the web server under a different user for the web server to be able to write to it.
ip_address: IF you are not using a UNIX socket, bind the FPM instance to a specific IP address. Use 0.0.0.0 to bind to all interfaces
port: TCP port to bind to, to accept requests
ip_whitelist: An array of IP addresses from which we can accept requests. Useful only for IP-based communication
max_children: Maximum number of concurrent running pool children
start_servers: Initial number of started pool servers
min_spare_servers: Minimum number of idling servers. Must be equal to or larger than start_servers.
max_spare_servers: Maximum number of idling servers
max_requests: Maximum number of requests a pool child has received after being recycled. Useful for combating memory leaks that can't be fixed in any other way
backlog: Maximum number of pending requests a pool can have waiting
status_url: A URL to query the status of the pool
ping_url: A URL to ping for health monitoring
ping_response: The response expected from pinging healthy instance
log_filename: A log filename for pool request logging
log_format: The format in which the pool will be logging to the request log
slow_filename: A file for recording long-taking requests
slow_timeout: The slow request threshold
valid_extensions: A number of extensions that are considered safe for processing
terminate_timeout: A timeout after which the pool master process will terminate the child. Must be equal or large to the longest expected maximum execution time
initial_directory: A directory to change to before start accepting request
flag_overrides: A hash of PHP flags that will be overridden in the manner of Apache's php_flag and php_admin_flag
value_overrides: A hash of PHP values that will be overridden in the manner of Apache's php_value and php_admin_value
env_overrides: A hash of environment variables that will be overridden embedded in the pools environment variable set

Example

# Define a pool for PHPMyAdmin
php_fpm 'phpmyadmin' do
  action :add
  user 'phpmyadmin'
  group 'phpmyadmin'
  socket true
  socket_path '/tmp/phpmyadmin.sock'
  socket_perms "0666"
  start_servers 2
  min_spare_servers 2
  max_spare_servers 8
  max_children 8
  terminate_timeout (node['php']['ini_settings']['max_execution_time'].to_i + 20)
  value_overrides({
    :error_log => "#{node['php']['fpm_log_dir']}/phpmyadmin.log"
  })
end

Recipes

`default`

Include the default recipe in a run list, to get php.

`dotdeb`

Include the dotdeb recipe in a run list to install the PHP distributed by the DotDeb repository instead of the official Ubuntu/Debian one.

`package`

This recipe installs PHP from packages.

`fpm`

This recipe installs and configures the PHP FastCGI Process Manager but without any pools. To define an application pool please use the php_fpm LWRP.

`module_*`

This recipe installs various PHP modules via the appropriate package commands. module_common will install a common set of PHP modules needed for most web applications (such as Joomla or Wordpress).

Usage

Simply include the php recipe where ever you would like php installed. To install from source override the node['php']['install_method'] - with in a role:

name "php"
description "Install php from source"
override_attributes(
  "php" => {
    "install_method" => "source"
  }
)
run_list(
  "recipe[php]"
)
