PHP install doesn't work
Hi,
I'm new to shindig, and I'm trying to install 0.8.1 on Ubuntu Jaunty.
This directory doesn't exist:
/gadgets/ifr?url=http://www.labpixies.com/campaigns/todo/todo.xml
there's a /test/gadgets/, but no /test/gadgets/ifr.
Is the documentation out of date?
Cheers,
Yonas

Yup, I followed the directions in the README:
"<VirtualHost your_ip:your_port>
ServerName your.host
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/shindig
... other normal settings in vhosts...
<Directory>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>"
I also linked /etc/apache2/mods-available/rewrite.load
to /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/rewrite.load and rebooted apache.
I see that the index.php script is actually returning 404:
// Unhandled event, display simple 404 error
header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");
echo "<html><body><h1>404 Not Found</h1></body></html>";

Hi Tim,
It is not integrated with Shindig, as I plan to deploy using Python
only. From the initial idea of a port, I realized that a full port
would not fit App Engine, so I'm trying to make small modules with few
dependencies so that I can split the work and pre-process a lot.
I have implemented the Gadgets server and am working on a client
interface for the container - however none of the OpenSocial services
are available.

I might be interested in that.
Specifically I've been wondering about integrating shindig with Zope - I
considered replacing the sample service implementation in PHP shindig
with a version that would proxy requests from an external (Zope) api,
but closer integration might be cleaner.
How far along is your python container, and is it independent of shindig
or does it integrate into the shinding interface?

Yes, like I said, the message bundle file is the problem with the LabPixies
gadget. The backtrace you attached seems to be for the labpixies gadget
render - what's the error you see with the HelloWorld gadget? (I'd be
surprised if it were a message bundle error since that sample doesn't
utilize message bundles at all).

I don't think that's the problem for me. I solved the apache problem,
but now I'm getting "Invalid XML structure in message bundle" for the
labpixies gadget and your hello world gadget.
I've attached part of the backtrace.

I don't think that's the problem for me. I solved the apache problem,
but now I'm getting "Invalid XML structure in message bundle" for the
labpixies gadget and your hello world gadget.
I've attached the debug backtrace.

Thank you Arne, yeah I got it working with this simple gadget. :)
Strangely enough, I had to rename the class HttpUtil to something
else, or I'd keep getting "Cannot redeclare class HttpUtil" (which is
only required in 2 places in the code). I guess it is related to some
autoload magic, not sure though and I did not investigate much.

Re: PHP install doesn't work

The problem with the labpixies gadget is in this translation bundle:
http://www.labpixies.com/campaigns/todo/i19_shared/all_all_igoogle.xml
Labpixies is returning a content-type for this file, but not a charset,
making Shindig default to UTF-8. However, that file looks like it's encoded
in latin-1 (probably a copy and paste job from MS Word since the error
appears to be with an apostrophe) making Shindig blow up when it can't parse
the file correctly.
The solution would be for labpixies to serve a content-type, or encode their
files in valid utf-8.
Or you could just try with a different test gadget - here's one I just
wrote:
http://<path to your shindig>/gadgets/ifr?url=
http://gadgeteditor.appspot.com/spec/16002/hello-world.xml

Agreed.. The only reason I've been holding of so far is that I hope to
develop a fix for such inputs where the charset is missing or conflicting
with the actual encoding, but I'll make sure to change the example in the
meantime.

Re: PHP install doesn't work
Posted by Chris Chabot <ch...@google.com>.
This error is due to the todo gadget having a message bundle xml file that
contains UTF-8 codes, but the server sends a different type of char encoding
header, so the encoding gets all mixed up and the xml parser errors out on
it.
The HttpUtil is being called to display the error, and that seems to have a
duplicate class definition, which is why it displayed that error instead of
the actual one.
As long as there's no errors in the xml files (like the hello world one Arne
linked), it should render perfectly though.

That directory doesn't exist indeed. All requests are mapped to
index.php using mod_rewrite (apache). Take a look at the .htaccess
file in the root dir. You must allow the mod_rewrite directives to be
executed in your VirtualHost configuration, if it is not yet
(AllowOverride All or something like that).
Anyway, I passed this phase and tried to access
/gadgets/ifr?url=http://www.labpixies.com/campaigns/todo/todo.xml. The
error I got was:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class HttpUtil in
/Users/moraes/www/shindig/src/gadgets/HttpUtil.php on line 24
...which is hard to debug because the line points to where the class
is declared, and there's no traceback to see where it was included for
the second time. I searched the code, fixed the double include, and
got a GadgetSpecParserError - probably it failed to fetch the gadget
and tried to parse an empty string. This, I believe, is a problem on
my side - I probably miss a dependency for the external url fetch, or
it is not well configured, I'll check that another time.
(btw I tried this with the 1.0 download, not svn)
And a side note, I'm working on a open source container in Python, to
be deployed in App Engine. Shindig is helping me a lot to understand
the specs. If you have interest in the project, please drop me a line.
