PHP Puppet Module for Boxen

Requires the following boxen modules:

• boxen
• homebrew
• stdlib
• wget
• autoconf
• libtool
• pkgconfig
• pcre
• libpng
• mysql
• openssl
• curl

The following boxen modules are required if optional PHP extensions are used:

• couchbase (SocalNick/puppet-couchbase) - Couchbase extension php::extension::couchbase
• imagemagick - Imagemagick extension php::extension::imagick
• openssl - Mongodb extension php::extension::mongodb
• redis - Redis extension php::extension::redis

Usage

# Install php 5.4
php::version { '5.4': }

# Install a couple of specific minor versions
php::version { '5.3.17': }
php::version { '5.4.11': }

# Install Composer globally on your PATH
include php::composer

# Install a php version and set as the global default php
class { 'php::global':
  version => '5.4.10'
}

# Ensure a specific php version is used within a directory
php::local { '/path/to/my/awesome/project':
  version => '5.4.9'
}

# Ensure an extension is installed for a certain php version
# note, you can't have duplicate resource names so you have to name like so
php::extension::apc { "apc for ${version}":
  php     => $version,
  version => '3.1.13', # Optionally specify the extension version
}

# Set up PHP-FPM as a service running a specific version of PHP
php::fpm { '5.3.15': }

# Run multiple PHP-FPM services
php::fpm { '5.4.11': }
php::fpm { '5.3.23': }

# Spin up a PHP-FPM pool for a project
# Ensures:
#  * the version of PHP is installed
#  * a PHP-FPM service is configured for this PHP version
#  * a FPM pool is listening on a per project nginx socket
$name = "project-name"
$version = "5.4.10"
php::fpm::pool { "${name}-${version}":
  version     => $version,
  socket_path => "${boxen::config::socketdir}/${name}",
  require     => File["${nginx::config::sitesdir}/${name}.conf"],
}

## PHP Project Usage ##

A sample PHP project manifest is provided in manifests/project.pp which will run a PHP project using PHP-FPM under Nginx. This can be used directly, but may require tweaking for your own purposes.

A simple project manifest example:

# your-boxen/modules/projects/manifests/trollin.pp

class projects::trollin {

  php::project { 'trollin':
    source        => 'boxen/trollin',
    elasticsearch => true,
    mysql         => true,
    nginx         => 'php/nginx/nginx.conf.erb',
    redis         => true,
    php           => '5.3.23',
  }
}

With the above, as long as our app is configured to listen to requests at www/index.php we can visit http://trollin.dev/ to access the app.

In the background this is installing PHP 5.3.23, creating a PHP-FPM service for 5.3.23, and a FPM pool for this project which runs within the FPM service. This then listens on an nginx socket at "#{ENV['BOXEN_SOCKET_DIR']}"/trollin.

The example nginx host template at templates/nginx/nginx.conf.erb is also a sample configuration which can be copied to your main boxen module and the nginx template path above altered to match this. This is set up with a basic PHP structure, and Fastcgi params to pass the expected variables from Nginx to PHP-FPM.

Upgrading to version 2.X.X from version 1.X.X

The old PHP version classes are removed completely in version 2.

You will need to change any code in your manifests like include PHP::5_X_X to the version 2 equivalent php::version { 5.X.X: }

All other classes remain unchanged in syntax, and should "just work".

This module will now warn you if you are running an insecure version of PHP when you run Boxen.
