OpenShift will look for the php and libs directories when serving your
application. index.php will handle requests to the root URL of your
application. You can create new directories as needed.
Note: Every time you push, everything in your remote repo dir is recreated.
Please store long term items (like an sqlite database) in the OpenShift
data directory, which will persist between pushes of your repo.
The OpenShift data directory is accessible relative to the remote repo
directory (../data) or via an environment variable OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR.
Environment Variables
For more information about environment variables, consult the OpenShift Application Author Guide.
deplist.txt
A list of pears to install, line by line on the server. This will happen when the user git pushes.
Markers
Adding marker files to .openshift/markers will have the following effects:
force_clean_build Will remove all previous perl deps and start installing
required deps from scratch
hot_deploy Will prevent the apache process from being restarted during
build/deployment
disable_auto_scaling Will prevent scalable applications from scaling up
or down according to application load.
