Chris Hartjes' Blog: CakePHP Application Deployment: RFC

Thu, 22 May 2008 13:46:37 -0500

In a recent blog post Chris Hartjes is asking the community (more specifically the CakePHP community) for their opinions on his thoughts for a deployment method for CakePHP apps.

While I really prefer to use tools like this for deployment, I understand that not everyone wants to mess with standalone programs and configuration files. I've been asked before about Cake-specific deployment techniques, so I figure the easiest way is to see about adding a task to the Cake console.

His idea consists of two new commands - "cake deploy config" and "cake deploy" to make it simple to set up and directly deploy applications without having to go to outside software.

PHP-GTK Community Site: PHP-GTK on Vista Memory Issue

Thu, 13 Mar 2008 09:37:27 -0500

The PHP-GTK Community Site has posted about an issue that's been found with PHP-GTK on a Windows Vista machine that can cause problems with how the OS handles memory (by Wim Stockman).

My work station is WinXp system and my friend where I had to create it for has the new Vista and somewhere over 9000 pictures to be managed. On my system everything worked fine, but on my friends system i always got the error can not open file.

Further testing revealed that it was the OS at fault - Vista wasn't handling the memory usage for the application correctly. When it was run directly from the file explorer (versus in the PHP-GTK console) though, it worked just fine.
