[Erlyaws-list] Running large PHP apps on Yaws

[Bruce F. <Bruce@Fitzsimons.org>]

Peoples,

I've been so overloaded with family and work I've not done any Erlang,
least of all built my own image rss feed system. I want to...but given
the number of ~mature PHP solutions around I've decided to see if any of
them will solve my immediate need. I actually did this a few weeks ago,
but only just got time to post my results. I can probably run them up
again to debug if people are interested...

So. Has anyone run any large very-Apache integrated PHP apps on Yaws
1.51? I've tried two "blog/web publishing/content management systems"
with similar results.

The first was "TextPattern" http://www.textpattern.com/

The second was "ExpressionEngine"
http://www.pmachine.com/expressionengine/ . It has good reviews, and I
got it to install with only a small patch (to populate HTTP_HOST ->
{"HTTP_HOST", H#headers.host}, ).

My results of running it have proved very odd however. I still can't
track down what is going on, but it behaves similarly to TextPattern in
that clicking frame links doesn't give the desired page. I can sometimes
get to another page, but its inconsistent.

Its not clear what is going on inside ExpressionEngine, as its all
crypted PHP (I've not paid for it, and its a timelimited demo). I
haven't gone back to TextPattern yet...

I think there might be an interaction between php and the headers added
by Yaws. I tried to instruct TextPattern not to put its own headers in
there, but that didn't seem to help much.

Is anyone doing this?

Cheers,
Bruce

PS This is a crap bug report, I promise to do better next time.
