nathank000 / heroku-buildpack-php-tyler

A custom Heroku buildpack that bundles Nginx + PHP (via FPM) with APC, memcache, memcached, phpredis, mcrypt, and newrelic extensions.

Nginx+PHP-FPM build pack

This is a build pack bundling PHP and Nginx for Heroku apps. Includes additional extensions: apc, memcache, memcached, phpredis, mcrypt.

Configuration

The config files are bundled:

• conf/nginx.conf.erb
• conf/etc.d/01_memcached.ini
• conf/etc.d/02_memcache.ini
• conf/etc.d/03_phpredis.ini
• conf/php.ini
• conf/php-fpm.conf

Overriding Configuration Files in During Deployment

Create a conf/ directory in the root of the your deployment. Any files with names matching the above will be copied over and overwitten.

This way, you can customise settings specific to your application, especially the document root in nginx.conf.erb. (Note the .erb extension.)

Pre-compiling binaries

Preparation

Edit support/set-env.sh and bin/compile to update the version numbers.

$ export AWS_ID="1BHAJK48DJFMQKZMNV93" # optional if s3 handled manually.
$ export AWS_SECRET="fj2jjchebsjksmMJCN387RHNjdnddNfi4jjhshh3" # as above
$ export S3_BUCKET="heroku-buildpack-php-tyler" # set to your S3 bucket.
$ source support/set-env.sh

Edit bin/compile and support/ec2-build-php.sh to reflect the correct S3 bucket.

Nginx

Run:

$ support/package_nginx

The binary package will be produced in the current directory. Upload it to Amazon S3.

libmcrypt

Run:

$ support/package_libmcrypt

The binary package will be produced in the current directory. Upload it to Amazon S3.

libmemcached

Run:

$ support/package_libmcrypt

The binary package will be produced in the current directory. Upload it to Amazon S3.

PHP

PHP with mcrypt requires libmcrypt to be installed. Vulcan cannot be used to build in this case.

To pre-compile PHP for Heroku, spin up an Amazon EC2 instance within the US-East Region: ami-04c9306d. Refer to support/ec2-up.sh for some hints.

The use the following to compile PHP:

# after logging into EC2 instance, preferably with screen running.
$ curl -L "https://github.com/iphoting/heroku-buildpack-php-tyler/raw/master/support/ec2-build-php.sh" -o - | sudo bash

You should review the build script at https://github.com/iphoting/heroku-buildpack-php-tyler/blob/master/support/ec2-build-php.sh.

Usage

To make your changes, fork this repo first and replace the following URLs with yours.

Enabling New Relic

Copy support/04_newrelic.ini.sample to your heroku app as conf/etc.d/04_newrelic.ini, and edit as necessary.

Export your new relic license key as the NEW_RELIC_LICENSE_KEY env variable using heroku config. This is already done for you if you have the New Relic add on enabled.

Deploying

To use this buildpack, on a new Heroku app:

heroku create -s cedar -b git://github.com/iphoting/heroku-buildpack-php-tyler.git

On an existing app:

heroku config:add BUILDPACK_URL=git://github.com/iphoting/heroku-buildpack-php-tyler.git

Push deploy your app and you should see Nginx, mcrypt, and PHP being bundled.
