php/README out of sync with trunk?
Please excuse a newbee to both shindig and php if I have overlooked the
obvious, but in the php/README it suggests that there should be a gadgets
subdirectory under shindig/php:
e.g.
http://your.host/shindig/php/gadgets/ifr?url=http://www.labpixies.com/campaigns/todo/todo.xml
>
However in the code checked out as in the instructions (i.e. from
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/shindig/trunk/) there is no such
directory.
Could you let me know how to fix this or point me to an example to study
which will work please?
Thanks for your time,
Tim

You have to configure the host as your directory root want to be, it could
be http://shindig or whatever you want, is the Apache web server side
(vhosts), read the README =)

Ideally you would create a php/config/local.php and put your local
configuration values in there. That has the advantage that you can
happily svn update to the latest default config, without your
modifications being overwritten.

should I edit web_prefix in php/config/container.php or in
php/config/local.php?

right you are. the config changes are rather new and should be
documented (including the new config/local.php option).
Glad to hear you got things working!

Chris & Gonzalo,
(thanks - the rewrite was the problem - new server and AllowOverride was not
set properly!)
php/README could be updated usefully as it suggests that one should edit
web_prefix in "php/config.php" rather than in php/config/container.php
(where it is actually set)

No the README seems alright.,it mentions 2 alternatives:
One is that you create a <VirtualHost> ... </VirtualHost>
configuration, set it's document root too /path/to/shindig/php, and
point your browser at http://virtualHostName/gadgets/ifr?url=http://www.labpixies.com/campaigns/todo/todo.xml
The second alternative, is if you don't want to create a virtual host,
so say your document root is /var/www/html, you checked out shindig
to /var/www/html/shindig, then you need to set your 'web_prefix' in
your configuration to /shindig/php, and goto http://localhost/shindig/php/gadgets/ifr?url=http://www.labpixies.com/campaigns/todo/todo.xml
So either those cases are perfectly valid ..
Maybe it's the mod_rewrite that's throwing you off? (ie if your trying
to ask: "/gadgets/ifr" doesn't exist), that's because any URL is
redirected to /index.php, if you take a look at that file: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/shindig/trunk/php/index.php
You'll see that it see's what URL it has received, and instances the
class that deals with that action (see the $servletMap mapping for the
URL <> Class mapping).
Hope that clears things up for you :)
