Everytime I install a new version of Ubuntu / Linux I’m hoping Zend Studio (the old/good one) will still be working. This time with Ubuntu 12.04 I again had to do this but it didn’t take longer than a couple of minutes.

First I had to install the java executable (otherwise I got a “java: not found” error message. Because the Sun JRE isn’t available anymore for Ubuntu (12.04) I installed the default one (icedtea I believe). To my amazing that worked perfectly!

Then I had to install some (i386) libs and it worked! libxcursor is need or else you’ll get a really ugly cursor in Zend Studio 5.

sudo apt-get install default-jre
sudo apt-get install libc6-i386 libxp6:i386 libxtst6:i386 libxcursor1:i386
ln -s /lib32/libc.so.6 /lib/libc.so.6

$query = $adapter->getProfiler()->getLastQueryProfile()->getQuery(); //print last executed query
foreach ($adapter->getProfiler()->getLastQueryProfile()->getQueryParams() as $k => $v) {
$query = $query = str_replace($k, "'{$v}'", $query);
}
var_dump($query);

A more complete example:

$adapter = Mage::getSingleton('core/resource')->getConnection('core_write');
$adapter->getProfiler()->setEnabled(true); //enable profiler

// Do database stuff

$number = 10;
$profiles = $adapter->getProfiler()->getQueryProfiles();
$profiles = array_slice($profiles, count($profiles)-$number, $number);

foreach ($profiles as $profile) {
$query = $profile->getQuery(); //print last executed query
foreach ($profile->getQueryParams() as $k => $v) {
$query = $query = str_replace($k, "'{$v}'", $query);
$query = preg_replace('/\?/', $v, $query);
}
var_dump($query);
}

I got Apache- (mpm-itk), sickbeard, sabnzbd, couchpotato and spotweb running on my pandaboard. But apache really used up a lot of resources. So I decided to replace it with nginx. Nginx would be a reverse proxy and communicate via fastcgi with php.

This post describes how to set up Nginx. Not how to install sabnzbd, sickbeard, couchpotato or spotweb on your machine. I assume you know how to do that.

Step 1: install nginx

leon@panda:~$ sudo apt-get install nginx-light

Step 2: proxy stuff

Add all the important proxy stuff in one file so it can be included later on.

leon@panda:~$ cat /etc/nginx/conf.d/proxy.conf

proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
client_max_body_size 10m;
client_body_buffer_size 128k;
proxy_connect_timeout 90;
proxy_send_timeout 90;
proxy_read_timeout 90;
proxy_buffers 32 4k;

allow 192.168.1.0/24;
deny all;

Step 3: set up all the locations

Set up alle the locations (subdirectories on you http server) for sabnzbdplus, sickbeard, couchpotato and spotweb.

The important part from /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default:

server {

location /sabnzbd {
include /etc/nginx/conf.d/proxy.conf;

proxy_pass http://localhost:9090;
}

location /sickbeard {
include /etc/nginx/conf.d/proxy.conf;

proxy_pass http://localhost:8081;
}

location /couchpotato {
include /etc/nginx/conf.d/proxy.conf;

proxy_pass http://localhost:5000/;
rewrite ^/couchpotato/?$ /couchpotato/movie/ permanent;
}

location /spotweb {
alias /home/leon/src/spotweb/spotweb.git; #not root directive

location ~* \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass localhost:9001; #defined in /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/leon.conf
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_index index.php;
}
}

}

Sorry about the indentation… Anyone recomend a good code plugin for wordpress?

Step 4: setup php

Now we’re going to set up php for nginx with php5-fpm. This is a new module and isn’t available on older versions of ubuntu. I think it’s only available from ubuntu 10.10 and onwards.

leon@panda:~$ sudo apt-get install php5-fpm

Then edit /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/leon.conf (in my case). I created another pool for my user (‘leon’) because I don’t want it to run under the user www-data or similar.

cat /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/leon.conf

; Start a new pool named 'leon'.
[leon]
listen = 127.0.0.1:9001
user = leon
group = leon

pm = dynamic
pm.start_servers = 1
pm.min_spare_servers = 1
pm.max_spare_servers = 4
pm.max_children = 4

Step 5: Restart everything and admire your work

leon@panda:~$ sudo service nginx restart
leon@panda:~$ sudo service php5-fmp restart

Footnotes:
I also tried to get it working with chroot = /home/leon in /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/leon.conf but I couldn’t get spotweb working with mysql on port 3306. When chrooted you can’t access /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock. I’ll have to investigate that a bit more.

Also, you could remove /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf if you don’t use it (like in my case):

cd /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/
sudo mv www.conf www.conf.disabled
sudo service php5-fpm restart

I installed sublime text on my Ubuntu 11.10 box but I had some troubled loading external python modules:

loaded 937 snippets
>>> import distutils
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named distutils

This is how I solved it:

Edited ~/.local/share/applications/sublime.desktop
Especially this line:

Exec="/home/leon/Software/bin/sublime" %U

/home/leon/Software/bin/sublime contains this:

#!/bin/bash
cd /usr/lib/python2.7
/home/leon/Software/SublimeText2/sublime_text

Then I installed some excellent plugins:

• http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/package_control
• https://github.com/Kronuz/SublimeCodeIntel
• https://github.com/JulianEberius/SublimeRope
• https://bitbucket.org/sublimator/sublime-2-zencoding

Everytime I install a new version of Ubuntu / Linux I’m hoping Zend Studio (the old/good one) will still be working. So I installed Ubuntu 11.10 and also this time I had to install some stuff to get Zend Studio working.

sudo apt-get install libc6-i386 ia32-libs
ln -s /lib32/libc.so.6 /lib/libc.so.6

And it worked! Know I’m gonna try do update the JRE of the Zend Studio 5.5

No apt-getting on Hardy

cd ~/
mkdir php
cd php
apt-get source php5
cd php5-*/ext/pcntl
phpize
./configure
make
no=`phpize | grep "Zend Module Api No" | cut -d : -f2 | awk '{gsub(/^ +| +$/,"")}1'`
cp modules/pcntl.so /usr/lib/php5/$no/
echo "extension=pcntl.so" > /etc/php5/conf.d/pcntl.ini

The last few days I’ve been spending my time on creating a website with Zend Framework. A lot of it I liked but the Zend_db stuff is is a complicated piece of crap. I’ve worked with a lot of ORM’s and db api’s but the Zend_db stuff is really the most awfull I’ve had till now.

I really, really don’t want to work with it ever again and I regret that I chose ZF for this particular project just because of the db layer.

One of our Joomla! sites was “hacked” with some stupid script and the fuckers put a iframe in every page

But with sed that was fixed in a matter of seconds:

find . -type f -print |xargs sed -i 's/<iframe.*iqdoza.ru.*<\/iframe>//g'

OR:

find . -type f -print |xargs sed -i 's/<iframe.*.ru.*<\/iframe>//g'

Searching for hacked sites:

egrep -lir "<iframe|hacked" /home/*/public_html/*index*

Drawback is that it doesn’t removed the inserted newline :S Because it isn’t the design of sed (wha-evah).
Also it doesn’t handle files with spaces in the filename. But that’s only minor because in my case I didn’t have any php or html files with spaces in them

For php I use Zend Studio for Linux. We have a license at work for it and it is in my opinion the best editor for php. It’s relatively fast and you can use it to quickfix php over an ftp connection.

For Ruby I use netbeans. I would also like to use it for php but it doesn’t allow to quicly open a file via ftp/scp or whatever. And it can sometimes be sloooooowwww. I’ve  seen netbeans used on a Windows platform and there it is much faster.

When I right-click on a project in netbeans for the first time, it takes 5 seconds (not lying!) to render the popup-menu. Come onm take forever!

And because I was now developing with Python I decided to try a new editor. Something more hardcore and lighter. Something nerdy So ofcourse I only have two decent options: Vim & Emacs.

I already had try them with Ruby. But I found good Ruby (& Rails) support rather lacking by both of them. I believe that the python comminity is more hardcore and therefore are using more arcane editors And maybe because they aren’t afraid to hack away in another language than their own (lisp, vimscript).

I think I have been comparing the two editors for nearly two weeks now. I have spent hours and hours comparing, trying and browsing for blog posts about the two. At the end, I really didn’t know which one to choose. I really suck at deciding something So I made a little list of what I find to be strong points of each editor:

VIM:

• Better syntax highlighting/theming supprt (wombat ftw!!)
• Faster/smaller
• No weird handling of new buffers like with emacsclient
• No daemon like: emacs –daemon
• Better python integration
• Easier to make extensions
• Preview of docstrings when using omni completion

EMACS:

• Better python-mode
• No commandmode/normalmode
• Directory browser/editor
• Debugger (better integration with external tools)
• easier to begin
• Everyting is a buffer™

And now I have chosen to be the editor with which I am going to work is…… (drum roll please) …….:

Gedit!

No, it’s (g)Vim

And while writing this article I was looking for a WordPress/blog plugin for Vim and Emacs. At a glance it looked like the wordpress plugin for Emacs was a little bit better. So already I was doubting my decision… So it could be that I switch editor in the next few months But I’m first going to really use gvim to see if it fits with my workflow and is really useable for me.

As cherry on the pie, a nice screenshot of my gvim in action:

[update]
I’ve installed Netneans 6.8m2 and it feels a lot faster than 6.7 but python completion is as bad as in 6.7.
[/update]

[update2]
Found out about Vim’s netrw. So Emacs no longer got “Directory browser/editor” as a strong point.
