Install PHP packages

sudo apt-get install php libapache2-mod-php php-cli php-common php-curl php-gd php-mcrypt php-mysql php-xdebug php-json php-xml php-mbstring

Restart apache

sudo service apache2 restart 

Local data portal installation¶

1. get latest drupal from http://cybertaxonomy.eu/download/dataportal/stable/ (drupal7-cdm_dataportal-x.x.x.tar.gz)
2. extract to /var/www

NOTE: It would be better to install it in sub folder of ~/@, e.g. @~/workspaces/www/drupal7-cdm_dataportal@, this however would involve that you modify the @/etc/apache2/sites-available/default accordingly.

1. Go to /var/www/drupal/sites/all
2. delete /themes
3. insert symlink to checked out themes from svn (http://dev.e-taxonomy.eu/svn/trunk/drupal/7.x/themes/)

sudo ln -s /path/to/svn/drupal/7.x/themes/ themes

1. delete /modules/cdm_dataportal
2. insert symlink to checked out cdm_dataportal modules from svn (http://dev.e-taxonomy.eu/svn/trunk/drupal/7.x/modules)

sudo ln -s /path/to/svn/drupal/7.x/modules/cdm_dataportal/ modules/cdm_dataportal

1. Go to /var/www/drupal/profiles
2. delete /CDM_DataPortal and CDM_DataPortal_Testing
3. insert symlink to checked out profiles from svn (http://dev.e-taxonomy.eu/svn/trunk/drupal/7.x/modules/cdm_dataportal/profile/)

sudo ln -s /path/to/svn/drupal/7.x/modules/cdm_dataportal/profile/CDM_Portal/ CDM_Portal
sudo ln -s /path/to/svn/drupal/7.x/modules/cdm_dataportal/profile/CDM_Portal_Testing/ CDM_Portal_Testing

1. change ownership of drupal folder to www-data

 sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/drupal/. <-- not sure what ownership is necessary but this works

1. Create database as root:

newSite

if you're not logged in to mysql as root then also:

 GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, INDEX, ALTER, CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES, LOCK TABLES ON newSite.* TO 'username'@'localhost';

1. got to localhost/drupal/install.php

NOTE: If you are having problems with the graphical installer ("page not found" after installation) you may consider editing /var/www/drupal7-cdm_dataportal/sites/default/settings.php with the following and repeat all the steps above

 $databases = array();
 $databases['default']['default'] = array(
     'driver' => 'mysql',
     'database' => 'new_site',
     'username' => 'user',
     'password' => 'pass',
     'host' => 'localhost',
     'prefix' => '',
  );

NOTE: If you see this message "Multibyte string input conversion in PHP is active and must be disabled" then add the following to your mbstring.ini or php.ini file

mbstring.http_input = pass ;
mbstring.http_output = pass ;

Starting local CDM server from workspace¶

Requirements:

• You need to have cdmlib checked out and imported into your eclipse workspace (http://cybertaxonomy.eu/cdmlib/getting-started.html#Developing_the_CDM_Library_with_Eclipse)
• You neet a CDM database (called cdmDB in this example)
• You need Jetty installed in your workspace (EclipsePreferencesforTeams#RunJettyRun)

1. In your run configurations you will find two Jetty Webapp launch configs ("cdmlib-remote-webapp - run" and "cdmlib-remote-webapp - profile")

• "cdmlib-remote-webapp - run" will start the local CDM server
• if you don't have anything configured yet the following output explains how to configure the CDM data bases for the CDM server

2014-04-15 13:41:08,244 ERROR [eu.etaxonomy.cdm.remote.config.AbstractWebApplicationConfigurer] - property {cdm.datasource} not found.
2014-04-15 13:41:08,245 ERROR [eu.etaxonomy.cdm.remote.config.AbstractWebApplicationConfigurer] - --> This property can be set in two ways:
2014-04-15 13:41:08,245 ERROR [eu.etaxonomy.cdm.remote.config.AbstractWebApplicationConfigurer] - -->       1. as attribute to the ServletContext
2014-04-15 13:41:08,245 ERROR [eu.etaxonomy.cdm.remote.config.AbstractWebApplicationConfigurer] - -->       2. as system property e.g. -Dcdm.datasource

2014-04-15 13:41:08,245 ERROR [eu.etaxonomy.cdm.remote.config.AbstractWebApplicationConfigurer] - Stopping application ...

1. For the second option add a data source bean to your /home/user/.cdmLibrary/datasources.xml (<- create file if it does not exist) as follows (do NOT confuse with @/home/user/cdmLibrary/writableResources/cdm.datasources.xml@):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.5.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-2.5.xsd">

<bean id="cdmDB"  lazy-init="true" class="com.mchange.v2.c3p0.ComboPooledDataSource">
        <property name="driverClass" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"/>
        <property name="user" value="user"/>
        <property name="password" value="password"/>
        <property name="jdbcUrl" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost/cdmDB?autoReconnect=true&amp;autoReconnectForPools=true&amp;"/>
    </bean>

</beans>

1. In your "cdmlib-remote-webapp - run" launch configuration add to VM arguments:

-Dcdm.datasource=cdmDB

1. To connect the data portal to your local CDM server add the following to Home -> Administration -> Configuration -> CDM Dataportal and choose your classification

http://localhost:8080/

Xdebug¶

install Xdebug:

pecl install xdebug

at the end of the install log, pecl shows something like:

Build process completed successfully
Installing '/usr/lib/php/20151012/xdebug.so'
install ok: channel://pecl.php.net/xdebug-2.6.0
configuration option "php_ini" is not set to php.ini location
You should add "zend_extension=/usr/lib/php/20151012/xdebug.so" to php.ini

add xdebug to the php.ini: /etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini Use the xdebug.so location from the pecl output.

zend_extension=/usr/lib/php/20151012/xdebug.so
xdebug.idekey=PHPSTORM
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_port=9008

service apache2 reload

Setup of PhpStorm¶

Workspace setup¶

Add Drupal code base to External libraries¶

open the external libraries configuration:

Setup the paths (this screenshot is only an example):

PhpStorm configuration to use Xdebug¶

• jetbrains: Zero-configuration Web Application Debugging with Xdebug and PhpStorm
• jetbrains: Browser Debugging Extensions

Add a remote debug configuration to the localhost

This is the server configuration. Do not configure pathmappings for localhost!

Now you can test the configuration ...

install the Firefox extension Xdebug helper

make sure the extension is configured to use the api-key PHPSTORM:

Project setup¶

Setup of the PDT project in eclipse¶

PDT is no longer recommended, use PhpStorm instead!

PDT launch configuration for Drupal projects¶

NOTE: Default debug port is 9000.

If the eclipse progress bar stops at 57% with the message "Waiting for the XDebug Session" check if xdebug.remote_enable=on is set in your php.ini (or xdebug.ini)

To see where the ini files are located type

php --ini
