Silex build pack

This is a build pack for Heroku for Silex-based apps. This is based on the heroku-buildpack-php.

Using

To use this buildpack, just create a new app:

heroku create --stack cedar --buildpack https://github.com/klaussilveira/heroku-buildpack-silex.git

Compiling binaries

In order to create the packages used by the build pack, you must compile Apache, PHP and their extensions with the following steps. The default packages were built on Ubuntu 10.04 64 bits in order to be compatible with Heroku dynos.

# Compiling Apache
mkdir /app
wget http://www.us.apache.org/dist/httpd/httpd-2.2.22.tar.gz
tar xvzf httpd-2.2.22.tar.gz
cd httpd-2.2.22
./configure --prefix=/app/apache --enable-rewrite --enable-so --enable-deflate --enable-expires --enable-headers
make
make install
cd ..

# Apache libraries
mkdir /app/php/ext
cp /usr/lib/libapr-1.so /app/php/ext
cp /usr/lib/libaprutil-1.so /app/php/ext
cp /usr/lib/libapr-1.so.0 /app/php/ext
cp /usr/lib/libaprutil-1.so.0 /app/php/ext

# Compiling PHP
wget http://us.php.net/get/php-5.4.4.tar.gz/from/us.php.net/mirror
mv mirror php-5.4.4.tar.gz
tar xzvf php-5.4.4.tar.gz
cd php-5.4.4/
./configure --prefix=/app/php --with-apxs2=/app/apache/bin/apxs --with-mysql --with-pdo-mysql --with-pgsql --with-pdo-pgsql --with-iconv --with-gd --with-config-file-path=/app/php --enable-soap=shared --with-openssl --enable-mbstring --with-iconv
make
make install
cd ..

# PHP Extensions
cp php-5.4.4/libs/libphp5.so /app/apache/modules/
cp /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient.so /app/php/ext/
cp /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient.so.18 /app/php/ext/
cp /usr/lib/libmcrypt.so /app/php/ext/
cp /usr/lib/libmcrypt.so.4 /app/php/ext/
wget http://pecl.php.net/get/APC
tar -zxvf APC
cd APC-3.1.10
/app/php/bin/phpize
./configure --enable-apc --enable-apc-mmap --with-php-config=/app/php/bin/php-config
make
make install

# Create packages
cd /app
echo '2.2.22' > apache/VERSION
tar -zcvf apache.tar.gz apache
echo '5.4.4' > php/VERSION
tar -zcvf php.tar.gz php
